[Mk2] [Generic] insane steel wheels!!!

[Ryan S]

as many of you know (or may not) i'm putting a wide arch kit on the car, in my hunt for correct size wheels a friend sent me this link.

not sure if i could face the shame of putting steel wheels on my own car, but have a look, they come in chrome, black white etc... and are the cheapest wheels I've ever seen, they say they can do any width and offset too!! I'd need to see a set in real life I think. i also cannot find 5x114 on their site!! anyway, interesting stuff, steel wheels are as light as hell!!

IMO, they just wouldn't suit an MR2.

Go for some period wheels - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17-DEEP-DISH- ... 1e90a09af4

Ad doesn't mention offsets, but you could ask I suppose. Not cheap, however.

[Ryan S]

Yeah i completely agree, espesially in chrome!! I'm just amazed at how nice they look for steel wheels!

[Ryan S]

no more thought on these?

[nitrodave]

I quite like them, but with such low offsets they could be trick to fit.

On a widebody they are going to be heavy boatanchors, which im sure will do wonders for the handling.

Personally if I was going to have a widebody i'd make sure I could afford some nice forged wheels with the correct offsets and widths.

you think they'd be heavy? i think they'd be half the weight of an alloy wheel

The 5SP's would look good with the right colour combo.

there is a couple of sets which I do think would suit the car, most likely in white as the car has always had white wheels on it and it by far my fave colour. I might email them with my sizes, see what they can do, If nothing else it'll be a break from the usual stuff we see

I think dark grey / gunmetal would be a good choice too if it's the red on in your profile.

To be honest though with steels you could experiment yourself with loads of colour options, easy enough to do yourself with a bit of time and space.

I also think the 5SPs could look nice.

Let us know what kind of prices you get back from them

will do, i messaged them asking if these sizes were available:

rear - 12wide, 12 ET, 17 inch, 60.1 hub diameter, 114.3 by 5

I'll post back their reply

Ahh, fair. I think a darker colour could still work well, though it depends on what you do with the rest of the car really!

I do like the Yellow / Black roof / black wheels look myself.

[Ryan S]

i do like 2 tone with a black roof, i painted my old rev2 like that.


on a side note, does anyone know where i can get tyres to fit?? looking at 295 wide, I can't find this width for a 17inch wheel

[Race Idiot]

I'm pretty sure forged alloy wheels will be lighter than a steel wheel.

whoops, missed this post, yeah it'll be after then anyway mate, also not too sure if i actually want steelies on the car

[JD]

i also cannot find 5x114 on their site!!

presumably because they are just cashing in on the all the bagged dubs clowns.

oh you right i went there girlfriieeyynd.

I'm pretty sure forged alloy wheels will be lighter than a steel wheel.

i couldn't say, i know my alloys i have are well heavy compared to steel wheels
