Ok, having been d1cked around by the importer of the wheels I'd originally picked, and having already bought a supercharger kit and factory optional overfenders for it, I've reached another roadblock with wheels. Let me start by saying wheels in the sizes I want are very very difficult to find, so options are fairly limited. Let me know what you think...

Choice one - Panasport F1

Pros: Panasport are extremely high quality wheels, and the Watanabe/Superlite style is always a winner on a Cube, 17x8s

Cons: Maybe a bit plain and safe choice for the car?

Choice two - Work Meister

Pros: They're Work Meisters, 'nuff said. White rims always look tough on a black car.

Cons: Only 17x7 but offset is still pretty good, maybe brakes will look too small with an open-spoke wheel

Choice three - SSR Mesh

Pros: Old school styles, but 17x7 makes them decent diameter too, if not width

Cons: Whether they'd suit the car hmmm, would need to be slammed to look good I reckon

Choice four - Work Euroline/VIP style

(Yes I know these aren't Euroline, but you get the idea)

Pros: Would look pretty gangster given that the car is black

Cons: Wouldn't work so well with the overfenders or the supercharger in my opinion...

If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

dont know what colour your car is but i could see these working on a white one

These were my very first choice, but having seen a few Cubes with 15s on since then, smaller diameters get lost in the huge wheelarches, and you'd need it about 30mm off the ground to make it look decent...

CSTs don't float my boat sorry...

Regarding offset, factory rims are 15x5.5 +48 or thereabouts, so for obvious reasons going below about +20 is gonna be risky, even with the overfenders. Kinda limits the dish factor.

Imho the panasports would look the best on the cube... I like that style in general (really hate #4 lol)

-D

If those 4 are the only wheels you are considering then I would rank them like this:

Panasport F1

Work Meisters

---------------------------

Work Euroline/VIP style

---------------------------

SSR Mesh :D

Interesting Cronic.

My vote is the meisters, coz meisters make near on anything look f**king fabulous.

I agree.

the panasports look shit house, too race style which the car isnt.

out of the 4 it would be miesters or meshies but whats the overall style your going for?

The pics don't do them any favours but they're like a Watanabe-style rim - here's some 17s (but narrower than the ones I'm looking at) on a Jazz

Lol Damo I was going to write something but then realized it had already been said.

P.S. nice Pube, Chef.

:D

If I hadn't already gone with [RUBIK] for a number plate, that nearly would've got a gong....

I really like the CE28N looking rims in the middle of the last set on Mukyboy's pics (the maroon car) .... or the Meisters - (possibly get them mirror polished all over) - would look tuff on a black Cube!

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
