After almost 6 months of rocking hubcaps, I've finally decided on a set of wheels I wanna get....if I can find them used at a good price. Ebay looks promising, but not sure what to do about tires.

I saw a set of these on the corporate bB at Exposed, and it's been planted in my brain ever since!



I think the bronze would look sick with my Camo box.

 

i agree those would look sick, make sure you get the right offset or plan on getting spacers. what size are you looking for?

 

I like those....


Doc

 

Hopefully 17's, but if I go used I'll take either 17's or 18's...anything that looks like their in good shape. I'm not picky.

I wouldn't go 19 though...need more meat on the tire. and I'd scratch the heck out of them...I don't have a garage and parallel park on the street for both work and at home. Our curb at work is lethal...It got Elroy's back bumper in November.

 

Dib, what is your questions about tires?

 

I just meant weather I should buy new ones or just keep the ones that are on the ebay rims

 

are these the ebay rims?

 

Drew, my eyes are getting bad...what kind of rims are you liking? The ones in the picture don't look 4x100...

 

Those are Volks!!!


Doc

 

Yeah, those are the ones on ebay, but there's a bunch of sets....those are 5x100, and there's another that's 5x120. I know they make 4x100 because I've seen them on scions, probably be tough to find them.

They're hella expensive new...way more than I could afford, but I'm finding them in the auctions for like 1200 bucks. If I can't find the right pattern, maybe I'll try to chase down some good knock offs....but I do love the style and the color.

 

Dib i didn't see any on ebay in the size, lug pattern, color you need

 

foiled again!

Maybe I should go door to door with a coffee can and ask for donations to the "dibujo wheel fund!" lol

 

Cool. I think the color would be perfect on a camo xB. You found them on eBay for $1200.00? And here I thought the wheels I ordered were pricey. I liked these wheels... http://mackinindustries.com/rays_57pro.html

Anyway, I hope you don't end up paying too much...

 

dang...those are sweet!

 

The Volk Racing TE37s are nice... The LE37s are nicer... polished lip =P

My favorite volks are the GT-Ns....

 

TE-37s are so perty! w00t awsome

 

My GT-N's are for sale btw... 18 inch/Gunmetal, PM me if you haven't already.

Drew--TE37's are very nice...but be careful as many if not all used sets are going to be ET+40 or higher (honda offset) which isn't very friendly at all with our cars. The only way to really get a set that fits right, is to get them brand new...and yea, they are near 1800 for just the wheels alone.

I like TE's better than LE's--why have a fake polished lip...it's still a one piece wheel...it looks like they just chromed a portion of a TE lip...ugly in my opinion.

Gram Lights are nice--but they are cast wheels...and not available in 4x100 in 18, and only in ugly offsets for 17.

Blech, good luck drew...if I had a camo, bronze wheels would be the only color i would rock.!
