OCDetails Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 After looking at a lot of different wheels I've decided that I like this style the best. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v74/Jngrbrdman/C2.jpg Since the C2s aren't being made anymore I may need to get some clones if I can't find someone to sell me theirs. I've got my eye on a set locally that a guy said he would sell to me when he decided to sell them. However, I don't really want to wait that long. Any good suggestions for look alikes to the Racing Hart C2 that are still available just in case? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Gambler Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 There are a few brands that make that mesh design rim. One big brand that springs to mind is "BBS" google it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah, but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money for wheels. I'd like to keep it down to around $200ish per wheel if possible. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Track Rebel Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Buy any of the following magazines and you should find tons of wheels that look similar: Sport Compact Car, Turbo, Super Street, or Import Tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah, but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money for wheels. I'd like to keep it down to around $200ish per wheel if possible. Check out the Konig Imagine's. They should be in that ballpark. http://www.superbuytires.com/images/wheels/KonigImagine.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 ya...I think Konig just came out with the new color Opals, or what looks to be gunmetal or something. These wheels looks nice, but would be a PITA to clean In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 My last two sets of rims were three piece wheels and those rivets can be a pain. Fortunately my last two cars didn't really have brake dust issues. The Legacy does, so I may have to think about how I'm going to handle that brake dust thing if I get a wheel that is either three piece or three piece lookalike. Hmmm... I put a sealant on my stockers and it seemed to help keep them clean for a few weeks. I guess if I did that every month then I could stay on top of the problem. I think I'll probably just invest in a good wheel brush and let the dust land where it may. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

boostsr20 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I like the 5Zigen heidfelds. Hot as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Nah.... Not interested in those at all. I want the C2 look. The heidfelds look funny to me with that thick silver lip and short spokes. I like my wheel to be all one color. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

RiverDog Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 If you really want that C2 multipiece look like you chopped on the first page, have you considered Axis Supermesh? Very nice rims, in your price range, nice lip, etc. axiswheels.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 ASA AR1 is a nice design (licensed by BBS) and cheap ($179), but only in 17" http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/asa/swap/asa_ar1_ci3_l.jpg I have these in black on the MINI. Nice wheel, but not the lightest out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverDog Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Apparently the offset is wrong on those. I really liked 'em as an option but I hadn't looked intoit and I guess they won't fit. That blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/subaru2222/5e59797a.jpgLike these Yup. That is almost exactly the look I'm going for. Do you know what those are specifically? Do they look like they are missing a center cap, or is that the way they are supposed to look? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

RiverDog Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 They're supposed to look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Ok. I wasn't sure with that bronze looking thing. It sort of looked like the little hub bump that the wheel generally gets centered on. Its probably just the cap that covers that bump. Those look good. Which ones are those? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
