The Official Aftermarket Wheels Thread

Recommended Posts

Just ordered a set of rotas, backordered. So I am looking for wheels. I like darker than silver, some multispokes, I like some mesh and I like pff 7's. Need at least 17 x 7.5 and prefer 48mm or as close to that offset. I have checked most major online wheel sites and don't like anything or they don't fit right, any suggestions guys?

im same tire, only a 7.5 rim, and +42 offset and rubbing on rear, how did you overcome rear rubbing?

Coilovers and Camber, and not stuffing a 235 on a 7.5 inch rim

 

I also rolled the rear fenders

See the plastic piece to the right, the strip that looks like \\ on the right,

 

Mine keeps poping out at the top clip of that piece due to tire hitting on cornering, and ive rolled the fenders, haven't lowered but haven't done camber or alignment yet.

 

im +42mm offset, should I scrap these rims and go for something either, (im keeping the tires)

 

a.)switch to rim offset +48ish

or

b.)upgrade the width to at least 8" ?

 

or both?

 

if i go to a +48 offset and 8.5" rim, im only going to reduce the push out to the fender by 6mm, and Ive been told that -1degree of camber will give me 6mm itself. The benefit I think will be ill stretching the tire more on the wider rim. 1" wider rim (12.5mm or 0.5" each side) would eat up the extra meat of the tire wouldnt it?

 

did/can you heat and roll the bumper lip and the lip on the \\ piece to the right ?

Those Konigs look pretty decent! I had a set of 15" Heliums waaaay back in the day on my Acura.

They were good quality.:cool:

 

 

Bump for all the other wheels on this page too. Some nice looking cars here, boys!
