Default help with wheels.....please???

ok originaly i was looking at getting a set of 18" rims for my box, but all the ones in the style that i wanted had to big of an offset(40mm-45mm which would cause rubbing), soooooo scrath that. My question is...... does anyone know of some 16 or 17 inch rims that i can get with a small offset(preferably a 16" with the small offset), something between say 10mm to 20mm. And preferably not to pricy, im hoping not to spend to much over 150 a wheel, but i would go 200 a wheel if i liked it alot. I know rota makes there 16" curcuit 8 with a 18mm offset but i talked to someone and they said they dont make it with that offset anymore, can anyone confirm that.I would prefer something along the lines of anthracite, gunmetal, graphite, or just plain black, since i have a bsp xb., but if you find something other than that with a nice offset than post it please.

With the size you want, you will probably need a custom build and thats not cheap. If you don't have the money now for something like that, then save up some more and get what YOU want!!! check my post here from recent and see what those offsets look like.

well i was lookin around and relized that with that offset even a 15" would look really good, especially with a slightly streched tire, if that helps any with price to than yeah im game. I found some works that i really like, and might end up going with if i ever feel like spending 600 on one wheel.

Ok I think i might have found some rims. 18" x 7.5 (i think) with a +10mm offset. Now my question is. With a tein s.tech drop, i know i shouldnt have any kind of rubbing while turning, but will i if i hit a bump? I would be running either a 235/30/18 or a 215/35/18 in order to keep it as close to stock as possible. All i wanna know is if i will rub on the bottom of the fender, if i hit a bump.

edit: with that offset i would probably run some fender flares to.

Why are you looking for such low offsets?

because to me the low offset wheels look better. I dont want them to low though, like the guy in the green box whos runnin the -32 and -25 offset, dont get me wrong that does look sick. But I think the +10 would look really good because it would be either flush with the fender or stick out just a little. If they do stick our just a little than i will get fender flares. Its all just a matter of opinion really.

I will have to ponder about that. I was originally looking for some 18's and since i found some with a nice offset i will really have to think about it.
