Can't seem to find nice wheels

[Aproductions]

Im looking for some 17" wheels that are at least 7.5" wide but am having no luck. I can't seem to find something I like. My car is red and I am thinking black with a chrome lip or like bronze or something and not too heavy. Any suggestions?

 

[darthvadar tsi]

go to wheelfire.com they have super great deals and really nice bronze,gold and black with lip

Have you looked around rims website? There plenty for that size.

There are tons of wheels out there it just all goes down to taste and budget.. What is your budget?? Rota, Enkei, and BBS/ASA make some light wheels.. In my opinion nicer looking wheels arent very light..

yeah I just can't seem to find anything I like....I don't want some crappy off brand ya know.

And I am a little confused about offset and stuff.

I was looking at the Work Emotion XD9 Wheel 17x7.5 5x114.3 and then its like pick a offset (32,42,50).....which would look better?

i went bronze. xxr 962's. theyre not that expensive but im not so sure if theyve got em in 17's mine are 18's and are quite heavy :/, but i love the look. gold on red is sexyyyy

What is your budget?? Those are pretty sick wheels man I like them.. Offset is where the wheels backspacing (wheels mounting flat surface) is positioned in reference to the centerline of the wheel (wheel midpoint).. Negative offset is a backspacing that seems closer to the brakes side.. Positive offset is a backspacing that seems closer to the outside of the wheel and farther away from brake side.. So the +32mm offsets are more of a negative offset right so they are going to either have more concave form, or a deeper lip depending on the design (look cooler, stick out more).. The +50mm offsets are more positive right so those will stick in the car further.. These will be flat and stick in the car ewww!! The center line is 0mm.. Any backspacing position that goes in further of that center line, towards the inside of the vehicle is negative or -0 to 50mm.. Any backspacing position that goes out further of that center line, towards the outside of the vehicle is positive or +0 to 50mm.. So in your case, the smaller the positive number, the more negative offset it has.. Get it??

I have motegi sx7s and they're nice. No big lips but they run $700 and fit the origional tires and are significantly lighter. Very durable too. After moving to Alaska I warped 2 of my original rims within 3 months. Been on these over a year now.

You wouldn't go for 18's ?

 

[Badgst96]

Aproductions, depending on which offset and tire size you go with, make sure they will fit right and have good fender clearance.. Here is a link that has a fitting chart of wheels/tires hope it helps..

Random Question will rota slipstreams look good on a 2gb eclipse?

 

[Aproductions]

yeah I will be lowered 1.5" so I think 17" will do.


Anyways I found a new wheel idea for me,

the rota D2...do ya think it would look okay on a red caR? and what do you guys think the size is in this pic?

 

[eligst21]

personally i dont like them. they look about 17's maybe. but not sure. not to steal a thread. but what do you guys think of these on a white eclipse?

I think they're way too busy.

And I think wheelfire needs to show the weight of all the wheels..
