Rial Wheels - Center Caps? Tires?


69NEWCLASSNH

Recommended Posts

I've sent these wheels out for refurbishing.  Having trouble finding center caps.  These are 14x6   - Anyone have a good source?  Even generic center caps are fine.  I'll measure the hub bore when I get them back from the media blaster.

 

Also, looking for a set of sport tires.  The tires that came off the wheels were 175/65/14 , but i'm only finding all season and winter tires for these.  Any suggestions on a good summer tire?  I guess it doesn't have to be that exact size, if there are other options out there.

 

thanks in advance for the guidance.  

 

Here are some pics of the car.  Did Volvo big brake kit in the front, Bilstein sport front and rears.  Cut a coil off the front springs (for now) and ST springs in the rear.

I think you are on the right track. You are lucky you can add wheel spacers and just change bolt length, I am running stock brakes and have to change my press in studs.

195/60R14  are called optimal here http://www.iemotorsport.com/tech/bmw-wheels.html

I am running E30 Basketweaves and have not calculated my shim yet. I had 205 55 r 14s on the 6.5 wide rims but even fewer choices in that size. I just picked up my tires today. I wimped out and got General Altimax. 195/60R14 from tire rack. They also sell the same Azenis Falkens at a good price. The wet traction (or lack of) got me. I read 6 BMW owner reviews of the Altimax who were very happy. I went with the budget and my tire advisor but I am sure you will like the boy racer tires. Also, Have you tried the rims onto the hub?
