Aftermarket Wheels: Post'em Up!!!

[TheGreenDragon]

Bumping this thread back up from the dead.

The lady and I finally have a wheel picked out for the sonic.

1552 Turbomacs 17x8 et30-35 (Haven't decided yet) in the Rally White finish.

Nice choice! Can't wait to see those installed!

Nice sizing. Not my style but good to see a nice size/offset in a 5x105.

They were bought as a blank. This wheel normally isn't offered in our bolt pattern.

Ahhh, nice. I've seen some blanks from various manufacturers. From a machining standpoint I'd imagine that is much more straight forward than a re-drill would be.

I'm getting a set of blank fifteen52s drilled out

Reminds me of The Bandit!...if they were gold!

That's a rep of a Water Cooled IND wheel called the MT10. Not really a great company. I know a lot of people that have gotten different offset wheels or missing hardware on 3pc wheels through them. I wouldn't be surprised if those reps hold up better lol.

I swapped out my adapters on my Sawblades from 20mm all around to 25mm up front and 28mm out back. I think they sit perfect now.

Was like X-mas for me Friday. Now just need some rubber!

How much drama was the drilling? I contacted a company last week regarding blanks and they said they no longer sell them because they were having too many wheels messed up in the drilling process. Not sure if it was BS or a legit concern.

I somehow found this company through an ebay listing. They listed they could machine in a bunch of different bolt patterns. 5x105 wasn't an option so I called and they said no problem. Had them shipped to my door within a week.

Sounds like an inadequate machine shop to me....

you'd think that'd be a no problem thing... they make blanks with no center bore, or bolt pattern. You order according to your car...boom, wheels arrive in the mail for any pattern. As long as your offset isn't wacky they'd have a larger market.

OR, Chevy could have made the damn wheels 5x114.3 and we'd have a huge selection!

I was thinking the same thing... poor quality work or a poor quality wheel casting. It's either a blank or a redrill for me, I just have to figure out which I'm going to go with. RPF1s are pretty tempting.
