4 Stud Deep Dish Mags

[passin ewe]

Does anyone know of a company here in Aus that sells 4 stud deep dish, looking for 15x8 and I guess

a 0 offset. Even a supplier in Japan that does'nt involve trying to decrypt pages of Japanese. Or if you've got some tucked away that your willing to part with would be even better. I don't want Wantanabes, but will consider other spoked items. I've looked at import monster and not much in there, quite like some of the hayshiracing mags but again it's that whole Japanese decrypting that is a Head F #@K.

I'd also like a simple Y or N to the C210 being a 0 offset. Cheers

15x8 0 would be a good starting place. wouldnt be a hot boso fit but if your just going for a tidy street car thats where id start.. best bet is before you spend shitloads is to ask around on forums and test fit some wheels. importing is not feasable, and even people who own imported wheels want more now.

sportsmaxx make some decent sized wheels for the money. just under $900 delivered for a set of 15x8 0s

alternatively there is superlites/ challengers but i recon the challengers belong on a XY falcon and the superlites on an escort. good sized wheels for the coin though.

[racsov500]

as for a definite y or n answer about rim size, i dont think anyone in australia whos on the offset bandwagon has properly done a c210 yet. just have to test fit

[dsh4]

heres some inspiration

Front: 14×8 -6 Rear: 14×10.5 -38 F: 175/60 R: 185/60

I think a zero offset for the front would be fine in an 8" but rears will need alot more negative offset to fill the guards(going from the above pic).

As for finding wheels, keep an eye on www.ae86drivingclub.com.au

often see wheels in decent negative offset pop up from time to time.

Thanks for the info, my rear guards will be cut out shortly and flared fenders attached so no problem with fitting 8" rims. So 0 offset for front and back should be ok. Looked at ae86 tonight and there does appear to be a few rims like what I'm after selling there. Again thanks Ricky, Dsh4, are those Wantanabes? they don't look so bad. Don't suppose you post items from there do you?

[dsh4]

yep those are watanabe's and sorry dont send that much parts back to OZ as Ive been mucked around too much.

cheers

My mate runs AJPS and gets in performance wheel (challengers and superlights) If you check out the link he has some of the wheel specs and prices, upto a 15x10 -26 too!! which one of my mates runs on a T18 and looks fair tuff.

http://www.otomoto.com.au/showroom.htm has some nice rims

[OUTATIME]

can get customs superlights for like $260 a rim i was told. dude had em on his mr30 at mallala

[passin ewe]

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys, as i said in my opening thread I'm not so keen on the Wantanabe look. I've seen so many other mags on C210's all in Japan of course, so there must be a heap of different designs available. Probably just not over here.

From memory JDMyard have copies of a lot of old style wheels in 0 offset. Sold under the sportmax brand.

[dsh4]

these sportmax 002 are growing on me, plus they are cheap and come in 15x8 zero offset. Just wondering if anyone knows if they are 2 piece and can be unbolted? That way you can reverse the face to give alot more dish

[passin ewe]

Infiniteautosport.com.au I just found this site whilst googling sportsmax 002. They've got some ok looking rims. Mostly 2nd's by the look of it. Once again thanks for your helpful info. With each new reply I'm finding more and more rims and avenues. Cheers. Don't spose anyones seen some Indy style rims, the ones with hole instead of spokes, I do like this style. In 4 weeks approx I'll be selling my rims for $400, near new tyres on each rim ,

ask him if he has any more of them for sale for me while you're at it!!

Message sent to Steve. Had a long think about this offset business last night, and dsh4 is about on the money. Looked in my C210 service manual last night and found that the offset is + 25, but that's for a 5' rim. If I'm going 8" or even 9" the offset is definately going to have to swing back into negative by a long way. Think it's time too seek professional help as I don't want to stuff this up.

here is a calculator for working out the offset
