Aftermarket Wheels: Post'em Up!!!

[Preloader]

Manufacturers?

Bingo! But I just assumed he was being funny. And it worked. I lol'd.

I have never purchased a re-drill. Actually before the Sonic I never took offset math into my own hands.

I always just really liked those TSWs for their weight and look, but if its not a reasonable option for re-drill I suppose I can move on.

When I saw pics of my friends Captiva, I liked it a lot. It sure would be fun to find a rental resale (although probably beat up) to buy for a bigger family car as there may be little Postloaders running around soon.

We are currently considering the Traverse.

although there is a simple idea i can work with that would probrably please everyone.

I do know the people at TSW. I can ask if there was enough interest and solid buyers of course . To make a limited batch run of 5x105. Same goes for enkei =)

it would be one particular size, width and offset. finish they might let it slide on how many of each color.

The Captiva is available in the US as a rental/fleet vehicle.

I see them on the highway sometimes.

It's not a Saturn Vue. The Chevy version of the Saturn Vue is the Equinox. The GM is the Terrain.

You are correct. It is a fleet only vehicle in the US. The US Captiva Sport is the rebadged Saturn Vue (Same plant, same workers, but different grille/fascia). The Saturn Vue was on an older modified version of the Theta platform. The Equinox and Terrain are on the "main" current version of Theta. The Vue/Captiva Sport shares very little with its Chevy and GMC stablemates.

Nothing will beat up a car like kids. Congrats on the possible Preloader, or would it be a postloader?

You should go used. What will happen between toys scratching the interior and fluids, it won't be so upsetting. Also, try to go leather or fake leather. Cloth will look like a crime scene. Then I can show you pages how to re dye your leather like new.

Congrats on the potential crumb crusher Preloader.

Do not buy a Captiva Sport after the fleets liquidate them. Their are lots of issues with the service parts regarding availability.

Thanks for the new nickname. The 2yo is now crumb crusher... Lol!

M-2, I'd be interested in a limited batch, but money talks and I don't know if there are enough people that will follow suit unless you don't mind holding a bunch on your shelves.

As far as having kids go, the wife and I are gonna start trying in May. We're excited, I want 3. Hahahaa

I'm impressed with how we are handling the double sided on topic with a splash of off topic in this thread. Very mature.opcorn:

No off topic rants or flame wars in over 30 posts. WTF is going on in here?

All four are good choices. The Nurbergring(?) is very popular with Corvette and Camaro owners. I would say 17X7.5 .40 would be a reasonable choice.

When I bought the DR33s I got them as placeholders until TSW came on board. After I got them I liked the result so much I now have a fifth as a spare so I am not as certain to move up to TSW now. But, until there is a choice, then I do not need to decide, do I?

Please do what you can. I do not mind having choices as long as I do not have too many. But an Interlagos ready to mount on a Sonic would be sweet music, indeed.

17x7.5x40et

+1


DDMW spacers would easily put them flush.

That happened on some poor new guys thread.

At least he sees us for the sociopaths we are I guess.

why use spacers when you can already have wheels that fit well to begin with?

Well, then 17 x 7.5 x 36et for me. Lol

LMK if you are close and require a deposit.

[firstorbit84]

[$ub$onic]

Dip them copper! It would looks sweet

 

[mitdr774]

I thought about a set of the black chrome ones.

 

[sonic351]

16" Rial Roma

Not what i wanted but it was under 300 for the 4 Now i Like it so they will stayAt least till i find something i like better.
As far as the sedan being for function then modding. I have more plans then money for this car so I'm out on that. I need
to be able to put four big duffle bags in the back and still keep a carseat in the rear so it was sedan for me.

I figured this would be the best place to post this...

DO NOT use aluminum lugs when running 5mm(1/4") spacers....specially these ones.

Aside from the fact that they are faded only after one month, I would say 5 out of the 20 are stripped, bent and the threads are broken (no, I did not use an impact on them). Good thing I caught this in time before my wheels fell off. I have now switched to forged steel lugs and feel much safer driving.
