Shuk Wheels?

[D1champ]

Has anyone tried these wheels? The BS1 looks like a pretty descent size, the offsets are meh but I think it shouLd clear coilovers and Zbrakes. They are on closeout on TireRack. I would going to pick a set of staggered 17's

F 17x7.5 +32
R 17x8.5 +33

It doesn't have the uber flushness peeps go gaga over but I think it'll look alright, a good quality knockoff of the BIM Driftmaster wheel.

Need opinions and feedback please!

Thanks for asking though.

[mrmephistopheles]

Looks like a gaybar on Weak St in Snoretown USA to me.

Thats because you're from Canada.


7.5in wide on a two peice wheel isn't cool...


ever...

[FaLKoN240]

Pizza cutters!!!! I have 15" wheels that wide.

Not to be a dick, but these are the only things that stood out to me in your post.
trust me, you can do much better, especially in 5-lug.

if you absolutly must go with these, at least get the 8.5's all the way around.

F 17x7.5 +32
R 17x8.5 +33

M'kay the harness is because of the shitty wheel spec or cuz I'm from Canada?

harness?
Do you mean harassment?
I don't think it's about being from Canada.
If you run the 8.5's all the way around, the fitment won't be too bad on your S13. the 7.5's suck on the other hand.
But you said it yourself, that the wheels are knock-offs. Please don't support copied designs in the industry.:sadwavey:

Oh, sorry that my bad for the mis-type.

Trust me, I would totally rock a set of real driftmasters with sputtering gold finish if I could afford it. I won't be getting these afterall, I hooked up a set of R32 GTR wheels with tires.

Much better to hear you went that way :naughtyd:

[yudalicious]

you can do much better if you're 5 lug. These wheels don't look good at all IMO. And who cares if they're knock off, as long as they're good quality, which I don't know if these are. I bet these guys all buy the Eckerd brand drug and Kroger brand cereal.

Son, they SHUK...

'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks

scared to death, scared to look, they SHUK

aint no such things as half way crooks

:naughtyd:

[Omarius Maximus]

Shuks are knockoffs? I thought that the driftmasters and shuks were the same damn wheel? <this is probably the case. Whatever, knockoff or not, its still a decent wheel, forged outer, cast inner 2 piece weld. Offsets aren't crappy, they are conservative. People have forgotten what conservative means. If it's not a trendzigen popping at leat 10mm outside the fender, its crappy.

[Realchaos1]

I would be scared if these are knockoffs, the horror. Don't go wallmart on your rims.

I believe they are, Driftmasters are made by B.I.M creative studio...they may have outsourced their manufacturing to shuk but I doubt it.

Most people have not forgotten. It's the 240 community that is trying to forget.

Conservative is for senior citizen's...

I think he is 5 lugs becuase he got gtr wheels.

[Omarius Maximus]

Well I would consider it a knock off if it was just a fake 2 piece look wheel that was a cast 1 piece, but the wheel is made exactly like the driftmasters except for the different finishes. bim probably did outsource these wheels.

Mobb Deep, shook ones?:bigok:

Dont look half bad. Some better sizes and more lip and id consider them. Saw them on local show car:-/ :confused: and wasnt impressed.

WRONG SIR! WRONG! Car manufacturers have forgotten what the proper offset for a RWD vehicle is. Low, Zero, and Negative Offsets are traditionally used in RWD vehicles. Do some research and you shall see RWD cars had offsets of +20 and below. Blame the FWD hoopla of the 80s for all this. You lose! Good day sir! :squint:

</wonka>

[OptionZero]

its not conservative, it mite not even be functional

you need a 20ish offset to have room to clear coilovers and fit some tire without rubbing the inside

negative offset would be overkill, but over 30 offsets are stupid

besides these aren't nearly wide enough to fit decent rubber on them

keep the stockers and save to do it right

[yudalicious]

7.5 is too narrow, I'd say at least 8 inch for a conservative fit. the offsets are bit too high, something in the +20 range would be good. And for 5 lug your options are limitless (or so it seems to someone w/ 4 lug), I personally don't think these wheels look that great.
