Opinions sought for Wheel Choice
chris_harris_ - 8/2/10 at 09:11 PM

I need opinions on these whells, generally i realy like them but am not keen on the 8 hole, dual drilled look, what do you guys reckon?



Steve G - 8/2/10 at 09:13 PM

I recon if you like them then sod what anyone on a forum thinks!! Its your car after all....


blakep82 - 8/2/10 at 09:14 PM

don't really like them full stop
but, if you do, thats what's important
could you get some kind of rubber grommets to block the spare holes off?


chris_harris_ - 8/2/10 at 09:17 PM

thats not a bad thought ref the grommets.

this is the hardest choice i've had to make, barr the colour!

There is always these too.

i prefer the OZ ones. i don't like the flared ends of the spokes on the first ones


liam.mccaffrey - 8/2/10 at 09:23 PM

man get the Oz's!

I hate the multi fit look too


l0rd - 8/2/10 at 09:26 PM

ozzzzzzzzzzz


chris_harris_ - 8/2/10 at 09:31 PM

Price difference is about 200 quid but i do like the OZ's, need to talk SWMBO round now!


skinned knuckles - 8/2/10 at 09:33 PM

mate, wipe the sh!t out your eyes. the OZ's are cool and sexy, the others are chav-tastic mingers


daniel mason - 8/2/10 at 09:34 PM

what size and offset do you need. i saw some nice ones on ebay the other day. quite similar to the oz but black.17" with good toyos!


chris_harris_ - 8/2/10 at 09:42 PM

I'm after 15's really i do like the OZ's but at 500 for 4 and no tyres, thats alot.. the others are only 200, all be it they look it.


skodaman - 8/2/10 at 09:47 PM

I don't like either of them. Then again as already said if you like them what does it matter what others think?
More importantly which are the lightest?


nitram38 - 8/2/10 at 09:48 PM

My only reservation is not looks but that they bow outwards. One kerb and they will look sh*t.
Toyos have rim protection on the tyre sidewall, but the bow outwards will go beyond that.
I have team dynamics 1.2 pro race wheels and the rims are well inside the tyre rim protection.

Fair point about rim protection and them curving out, wasn't planning on getting that close to the kerb, but then i suppose you never do.


mookaloid - 8/2/10 at 10:19 PM

I quite like the OZ wheels


Bumble - 8/2/10 at 10:51 PM

Definately the OZ's!!


Angel Acevedo - 9/2/10 at 04:24 PM

Some times concessions MUST be made.
I think Wheels is one of them...
If you go cheap, every single time you approach the car, you will regret it.
If you go the OZ way you will be happy you did every single time yo go near
I call that the GRIN Factor...

cheap usually means heavy too


chris_harris_ - 9/2/10 at 06:49 PM

Thank guys, i hadn't thouight oo much about the Grin Factor but it makes pefect sense.
and with regards to the weight, i can't find any figures for these wheels.
most team dynamics are fairly lioght weight, but there is always an exception i suppose.


dlatch - 9/2/10 at 06:53 PM

i think a set of these would look great on a locost



hicost blade - 9/2/10 at 07:33 PM

My wheels were chosen for being light weight not for their looks, and at £34 each for 7 x 15 108 pcd 35mm offset I think they were rather cheap......
