"Affordable" decently big wheels

[irdave]

Not to derail the thread, but there are several steel wheel manufacturers out there that make nice affordable wheels.

 

I've been looking at these...http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/index.php/street-wheels/sc-series

 

Their website leaves a little bit to be desired but the wheels are affordable.

Affordable indeed! Unfortunately those look like they are missing hub caps... exactly the style i'd like to avoid.

Yer funny.

 

Keep in mind, "stock parts never go out of style"

 

Get some Krylon Dull Aluminum paint and make those red wheels you have silver again... dun.

 

... then spend all that wheel money on some nice fat sway bars.

 

Shouldn't you be on your way over to the 020202 meetup?

Someone might bring just the wheels you are looking for!

Disagree. If that were the case then mods would be far less common. My wheels are butt ugly... the stock ones. And too small. They don't fill the space nicely. How about I get new wheels AND spend the money on nice fat sway bars?

 

Don't have time to go to the 020202 meeting, unfortunately. Have a few other things to take care of this weekend.

I like the quote. 

 

I figured we'd disagree.  I suppose I'm teasing.  sorry. 

 

Good luck on the hunt and have fun!

I have a set of wheels straight out of the '80s. 15x6 Superlights, welded two piece, that could use a deep cleaning. One center cap is missing the superlight decal, and there is some light curb rash, but they seem to be straight and drive vibration free. $400 plus shipping.

Is that picture showing the extent of the road rash? What offset?

 

Thanks

I just went out and looked them over. That is the extent of the rash, the other three wheels don't really have any. The offset is 35mm. I'm going with flares and  an 8" wide wheel, so I have no use for them. Here's my ugly '02 with them on it to show how they fit. This is with oversize 205/50R15's
