What wheels?

fige · 11-27-2011, 11:08 PM

Dynalites 15x7 et0 (mesh, 2 piece...might make them 3piece)
HRE (japenese Hayashi Racing Equipments) 16x7 ET ~20 (five spoke, 3 piece)

Which ones would you put on this car?

Wheels in question.

what would you guys recommend in tire size?

volvonoob1991 · 11-27-2011, 11:26 PM

The 5 spokes look pretty interesting do u have any pics of them on the car?

Two245Turbos · 11-27-2011, 11:31 PM

Mesh...check that. 5 spoke, then you can sell me the mesh...

dhallilama · 11-27-2011, 11:40 PM

both.
dynalites are pretty rad... HREs, too.

on that note... would you happen to know the PCD & ID of the barrel/lip for them? either of them. i've got a set of compomotives with 20 hole barrel/lips... no joy getting new ones form compo, no joy getting them made for anything less than mucho $$$.

Mueller · 11-28-2011, 12:01 AM

I like 'em both...nothing narrower than a 225 !!!!

Well, maybe a 205 if a super sticky race type tire...

Stephen · 11-28-2011, 12:31 AM

towerymt · 11-28-2011, 02:05 AM

mesh!!!! The five spokes have weak offset and I like the lip on the mesh

rancidponymilk · 11-28-2011, 10:30 AM

Go with the mesh, the others need a couple more inches of lip to look good.

I could add another inch of lip... but still would be only 2 inches of lip.

the dynalites from the face to the end of the rim is 2.75''

cookiemonster · 11-28-2011, 11:18 AM

5 spokes are no joke....do it!!!

Hagar17 · 11-28-2011, 11:46 AM

mesh paint mesh white

stylish and a b-ish to clean! :P

badvlvo · 11-28-2011, 11:52 AM

On that car the mesh will look good.

Råda · 11-28-2011, 12:33 PM

1. Polish up the 5-spoke wheels
2. Put on car
3. ???????
5. Profit!

GabAlmighty · 11-28-2011, 07:07 PM

Everyone and their mother puts meshies on, go different and do the HRE's.

kampman · 11-28-2011, 07:11 PM

^^ What he said. If they don't work out, you know you've got a safe fallback with the meshies.

Ursan · 11-30-2011, 06:35 PM

Never been a fan of multi-spoke mesh wheels. Can't really put my finger on why. They also look difficult to keep clean.

I'd say the 5-spoke FTW.

wooble · 11-30-2011, 07:00 PM

I love love love meshies BUT I'd choose the HREs personally, they are that cool.

225/50 or 205/55 depending on racecar/goingtoworkcar use ratio.

Josh · 11-30-2011, 07:39 PM

Actually if you paint the center of the HRE's the same color of the style 5's and polish the lips, I think it would be just a little cooler than the mesh.

beigebricker · 11-30-2011, 08:04 PM

meshies.

Matt · 11-30-2011, 08:06 PM

5 spoke, 80's styleeee

amerbritcan · 11-30-2011, 10:31 PM

I really like the ones that are on the car the best, but mostly because I've wanted them since the day I first saw them on your car.
