Wheel Choice

[goldwing2000]

Holy crap, it's hard to find +48 offset wheels!
Even worse to find ones in the right size with the right bolt pattern and under $200.

Oh, and not a damn 5-spoke.

But I'm not asking for much. (thumb)

So I think I have it narrowed doen to these two:

The RX-6

And the Super Six

I'm not completely thrilled with either one but I need something to put my wider skins on. The only other choice is some weird made-in-china "Sport Edition" crap wheel from tire rack.

Thoughts? Opinions? Arguments?

This is the one Iam thinking of trying to purchase in the future,
multi-spoke, under $200, offsets 45 thru 50, and listed weight of 16.8 lbs.

When I get closer to buying wheels and tires, I will be calling Autornd and asking them if tpms will work ok.

Nice! Those don't suck at all! And with a 50mm offset, even!

Good find, thanks! I'm gonna bookmark that one. (thumb)

these are a couple i have been eyeing lately...

20lbs and 219$

this one especially a bit over your price but style and really light weight!
also it has a 52mm offset...
16.6lbs and 319$$

this isn't bad... and light weight
can't seem to find the site i saw it on the other night but its right at 200$ 17x7 and weighs 16.2

the bad part is the highest offset i could find was 45

 

[goldwing2000]

Thanks.

The first one is a little too... "spokey" for my taste.

The other two don't fit the specs. (shrug)

 

[tsunami]

What offset would be best to use with the Tein S. Tech drop springs. I believe it is 2in. drop in front and 1.5in drop in rear.

That's been covered on at least a dozen other threads. Find one and don't hijack mine. We have a really nifty search feature that would do you wonders.

tsunami: that first one looks good. I dunno about a place called "The Hookup Shop", though. (boom07)
I wonder if anybody else sells that brand.

 

[ZoomVT]

that is a good find Tsunami.
cmon goldwing, the HOOKUP shop, they will hook you up. sounds reputable to me...

 

[tsunami]

yeah i was looking at the other offerings MRR has... i like em, and the prices are reasonable... just leary of the sight for the same reasons you are lol!! though they do carry rays wheels (i would think you have to have some sort of good repor to carry their brand name??)

Why do you want +48?? 45 works fine.. if you are doing 17x7 you can even get away with 40mm...

I have 8.5" wide wheels with 45mm... not a prob.


Buy some of these

Do you have your car lowered? That's what makes the difference. If you go lower than +48 offset, you can't pull the rear camber back in.

I don't read Japanese. What brand are the ones in the pic?

I like the RX-6 a lot better than any of the other options you posted.
Some rota tarmacs might look nice
