Wheels that look like this?

Discuss washing, waxing and detailing information as well as interior/exterior cosmetic modifications. This includes neons, body, cosmetic wheels, etc. Even under the hood detailing.

Wheels that look like this?

Post by xyeLz »

Hey guys, I'm having a really hard time trying to find wheels with our bolt pattern and an appropriate offset in the style I like. Here are a few of the styles from different manufacturers:

Does anyone know a similar model that would fit our cars? I'm looking for 18-20".

Goto discount tire company, they are able to call the manufacture and have them custom drilled. I just did that, takes like 2 weeks. I'm waiting for mine to come in now.
I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

That is great advice for Discount Tire. Do you think most manufacturers will do this? The TSW Nurburgring looks great and all, but it's matte gunmetal and I'm looking more for either flat black or black chrome, like the XXR 530. :)

Don't see why you can't run the TSWs with a 5X114.3 and either a hub centric wheel spacer or some careful torquing patterns.

Yeah, youre just looking wrong. Dont bother searching for 5X115. Thats the same style I like and Ive fouund lots of them. Look for 5X114.3 or 5X4.5.

I thought it was dangerous to put on 5x114.3?

as long as the hub bore is similar you will be fine. The problem is most people don't take that into account

Oh, interesting. Sorry then. I always thought it was dangerous to do that. What do I actually need to take into account regarding the hub bore?
