Aftermarket Wheels: Post'em Up!!!

[Wydz]

Went to buy a set of DR-33's and they only have 15", 17" or 18"

no 16" <_<

and the stock black 16" wheels are $147 each from Amazon, like, damn son :/ and thats just the wheels, no tpms/mount/balancing included in that.

The 33s do not come in our 5x105 in 16" but the 17" ones are $115 at our local Discount Tire Store and likely similarly priced at competitor stores.

yeah, 17's...always 17's!

That would mean that I have to buy a new set of tires which I don't wanna do lol

I hadn't driven a hundred miles and I knew I had to change tires; just went to 17s as I figured if changing tires might was well change wheels and get the rebate. :banana:

I'm gunna run these tired bald.

Don't want to spend 1200 if I don't have too

I'd be happy as hell if I could find a good price on the stock black 16s

Another consideration...

Sparco's from Tire Rack 16x7 35et. 17.4 lbs $99 in silver or $130 in black

And some Continental DW's @ 205/55r16 19 lbs

Less bling, more fast

Kuntryboy has em...

It's been a while, but I finally have my summer rims and tires.

Continental DW 215/45/17 on G-Line Wheels with Motorsport Tech Hub Adapters.

I love the stance this give me, and the tires grip super nice. Definitely in love with the new look. Let me know what you think!

Just ordered my 5-105 16x7 drag DR33s

Can't wait for them to arrive at discount tire in like 1-2 weeks. Going to feel like a kid at Christmas

Wait, wot? I thought you couldn't get 'em in that size. How'd you swing that? A custom order?

I'd love to get a set in silver. Wonder if I should give it a try.

Wrong bolt pattern. Story of my life.

 

[Natesriv]

Sorry I just posted the wheel size.didnt see wrong pattern

 

[Sonicbobo]

Called Discount Tire direct and special-ordered a set of Maxxim Weeners, 16x7 @ 17lbs.

Not the prettiest wheel, but they fit my needs. Very inexpensive @ $370 including shipping.

Here's a picture of 'em on a Yaris. Almost Sparcos.

 

[Wydz]

Haha. Weeners

 

[Sonicbobo]

Because Maxxim sounds like a prophylactic.

Our friend MPFab has almost identical wheels with wide ass Fn tires, if my memory serves correct 18x9 front and 18x9.5 rear with 255s all around

And he painted the rim of the wheels black All that glorious polished metal gone...

But damn those are wide rims!!!!!
