new truck wheels

[RBS14]

16x8 -6 205/55

I would have liked a smaller sidewall but they were the only used 205/16's the tire shop I go to had.

they're just an extra set of track/touge wheels.

barely fit under stock fenders (rolled). wadda ya think?

not really positive camber, angle of the camera makes it look that way.

Now thats a proper offset.

Whats with the sidewall?
=)
Make youself an excuse to find a smaller one?

[Sil Beer S13]

Cool did you get those at Pepboys??

[RBS14]

I know, the sidewall is as big as the ones on semi tires. haha

as Dirty D calls it...... "mexican flush" lol :o

[RBS14]

summitracing.com

shit! 2 posts in a row. oh well, it's my thread.

[Sil Beer S13]

Hey Hey im mexican! Mexican flush is when the whole rim is sticking out pass the fender by like 4 inches thats mexican.

[RBS14]

hahahahahahaha

[Hawd]

that sidewall makes me want to shoot myself in the fucking face

[aa87]

Wow, they are pretty damn cheap too.

[DRFT]

hm...i seen those on a jeep before i think. i was thinking about those too. heh

[FallbrookS13]

truck wheels are the shit. so cheap and its awesome cause you can order them in any offset or size. good wheels to smash up and not worry about

[kidinthehall]

i think they look like ass. they are fRush though...

[pruto]

i've been running a pair of those, 15x7 +0 for drifting for about a year now. Fun wheels. My only beef with them is the weight. so damn heavy, pain in the ass to carry around.

[mbmbmb23]

That's badass looking!!!

[Ritz S14]

You need some tire shine to bling up those side walls.

[Maeda]

Who are you kidding? Your a mexican flush wanna be. =p

[drift into a curb]

Would you know if those clear z32 rear brakes? Looks cool. I've been thinking about getting the 17x9 +13.

[Dutchmalmiss]

if you haven't noticed, deviousKA runs a nice set of those on his red pignose fastback. makes me drool!

[mrmephistopheles]

velly nice.

[BeerBringer]

Can you please take a picture of the whole car with those wheels?
It looks kind of cool but its hard to tell when you dont see the whole car.

[Steeles]

if you haven't noticed, deviousKA runs a nice set of those on his red pignose fastback. makes me drool!

if you look really closely deviousKA's are actually circuit racing wheels. billet aluminun lightweight and expensive as chit. same look but a different league alltogether ;)

[MakotoS13]

you tryin out for nascar or sumthin?

[RBS14]

these aren't even close to as nice as deviouska's wheels. these are SHIT, his are THE SHIT!!! don't even compare them. don't know if they'll clear z32 rear brakes. they make them in +12 also so you can get those and then space them accordingly. NASCAR.... hell yeah! look at last year's US D1GP.... not much difference...... haha

my only beef with them is what pruto said........ weight. they are quite a bit heavier than my 17x9 fno1rc's, if that gives you an idea.

[Steeles]

that sucks that they are that heavy. you would never guess from looking at them. I wouldnt take um circuit racing but drift practice is a whole nother story

[pruto]

don't clear z brakes, by a lot. its kinda like meshies clearence wise. pair for the rear for track. thats about all they're good for

[BSeay]

My friend's sisters b/f has those on his jeep liberty....lol!

[blu808]

Bling scott bling

[Zemus]

Odd that they weight alot, my 15x8.5 -27 offset centerlines are only 13lb

[HyperTek]

what good is the offset if the wheels look like poo?? hehe.

[Var]

centerlines are very lightweight and strong and cheap. well not cheap..but priced correctly. they are cheap relative to the prices we pay for overpriced stuff from japan.

They where were a good price, agressive stance to, also makes me look like an 80s Muscle Car or a Yanky JDM car :-D

[Replicant_S14]

Who are you kidding? Your a mexican flush wanna be. =p

It's flush plus hos.

I think I need flares and a little camber!

....up front I need that wide body kit and some c/os to kill the gap. Mad lip tho.

[old_s13]

christ.....


your car is beyond weird, its disturbing. what is all that craziness?

[sykikchimp]

Replicant.. those staggered wheel/tire sizes are simply AWESOME!!! you are my hero.

[RBS14]

you got me beat, hands down.

hahaha

[uiuc240]

truck wheels? now i've seen everything. i *knew* this would happen sooner or later. i find it completely disturbing and ugly...but you know what? it's not my car. do what makes you happy! and if that's drifting around on 25 lb deep dish steelies off a 1972 International Scout, then by all means, go for it!

hahaha. I like your attitude towards it, even though you don't like them you don't have a problem with people doing whatever they want....... because it doesn't affect you at all. we need everyone on zilvia to adopt an ideology like yours and we'd be set.

we'll see how they are at this upcoming event, if they're too heavy i'll ditch em. I knew they'd be heavy but I didn't know they were going to be this heavy. but what the hell was I supposed to expect, they are, after all, truck wheels.

part of buying wheels means looking at the entire wheel spec, which includes height, width, offset, weight.. and then you kinda have to pray that they are durable and well made (unless you buy a quality mfg, which of course you know is good).

im cool with your choice, doesnt bother me at all.. just know that running heavy wheels will make the person behind the wheel feel as if their suspension is blown -- when the wheels are too heavy the car accellerates, brakes, and performs like overall SHIT. trust me, i've had heavy wheels.. i know.

[RBS14]

the only spec I couldn't find was weight. now that you mentioned it, I had POS 18" tenzos way back and the car responded like shit. I thought it was the stockish suspension, guess I was wrong. I'm probably going to need all the power I can get with the ka, so 25lb wheels prolly won't be much of a help. we'll see if I still like them after this event.

thanks for the heads up!
