marzman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey All, Im going to be buying wheels within the next 6 weeks and have been trawling the net for weeks trying to find the right ones. My requirements are that they must be black, with a lip of some sort. 19", and i'm leaning towards 5-spoke, but i quite like the double 6-spoke look too. My budget isn't too spectacular - i've only got about £1200 max to get them on my car - so thats including tyres and delivery etc etc. Now, im going to be keeping my 17" JDM's as track/winter wheels, so im not too worried about the quality here - this is all style over substance!! Most of the wheels im finding that meet my requirements (price/looks) have an offset of +35... Firstly, will this fit, and secondly, will it look sh!te? Would spacers to push the wheels out be necessary to pull off that look? Does anyone have pics of wheels with a +35 offset? See these links for the type of wheels i want, and can anyone give me a reason not to buy these - they're the style i want. ebay1 ebay2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 +35 offset will look sh1te. If you're set on those e-bay wheels I would look at spacers. BTW lomoto's are Ruff Racing and I don't know anywhere you can buy them here. Pretty cheap if you import them from the States though.

So if i get the eBay wheels and spacers i'll still be within my budget. Im wary of spacers though - could it possibly make the clicking rear axles problem worse? I mean extra pressure on the hubs cant be good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't comment on your clicking axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't regret saving up and getting something better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
