Wink Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 If you get the first set, be prepared to spend a looooong time cleaning when you're washing them. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131945-which-wheels/#findComment-2443424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezz Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Drifters use so many different types of wheels on their cars, how can you classify a single style of wheel as being 'drift style'? Just like the 'drift wing'? Whatever.... For what it's worth, although the mesh would be harder to clean as has already been mentioned, they do look classier. Just promise that the offsets are suitable for RWD cars... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131945-which-wheels/#findComment-2444160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaker34 Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 yeah im gunna go with the m190s they have a big dish on em 2 so i think it will look hot as, i was thinkin of goin gold but the only ones i like are the speedy one with the gold centre and crhome lip, but because of the way they are made the rear brakes wont fit in 18s so id have to get 19s and they are 550 just for a wheels each. so fark that, but with gmax 190s, he has an over stock, so he'll do em heap as and he also sponsered me in last years auto salon with my astra SRI turbs, so i know him pritty well, anyway thnks for your help guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131945-which-wheels/#findComment-2445764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTT34 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i just got a new set of wheels and tyres last week and need some advice. 235/40/R18 front 265/35/R18 rear does it matter if the overall diameter of the front and rear tyres are different, i'm still on stock standard suspension. i'm worried that the difference in diameter will affect the drive and the height of the car. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131945-which-wheels/#findComment-2445883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

n15m0 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 From the tyre calculator: 235/40 goes best with 265/35 as there is minimal diameter difference. Not sure in other states but in QLD overall diameter difference must not be more than 15mm. Speedo does go out but very minimally for the below combos.

I first had 255/45/17 on the rears of the car then I went to 245/35/19 and it was the worst mistake I ever made plus the speedo was about 4-6 km/h out. Now I've gone back to 17s and the ride is much better once again.
