wheely hard decision (sorry!)

Post by skdmrx »

hey ya'll

ive got most things sorted on my project but theres still a huge problem i cant get my head around.wheels.

This is what i need 5x114.3
16" (or bigger to fit over brakes)
18x8.5 18x7.5 biggest

i want an old school jdm style 16" but if i have to go new school itll be an 18.please post up any pics you can or comment on any of the wheels i have put up.if you know names can you put these up too.
does anyone know the name of the wheels in the 4th pic?

any help would be awsome.

with a bit of luck the car will look something like on of these two when its done.

I don't know anything about wheels. but whatever wheels you settle on, make sure it's something with LOTS of dish!

This may help with wheel names and searching of jdm styles -> http://www.ratdat.com/?page_id=101

I reckon wait around for right jap sec. Although the new school dish ones look ok, the jap ones look 100 times better.
