Help Me Choose Wheels For The Cube

[Iron Chef]

Actually, while I have your attention for a moment, have you ever seen leather (MSpec) R34GTR seats come up at the auctions? Do you know a rough price I would be looking at?

Never, although I've never looked for them either. Expect to give up your first-born for them though...

[Nightcrawler]

What about standard R34GTR seats?

[Iron Chef]

Minimum $1K each in Japan, then transport here....

Here's your M-Spec seats, over $5K in Japan...

I'm thinking about buying those Panasports too hey lol

[steveP]

saw these in the for sale thread. perfect classic jap look..

[Iron Chef]

If the Cube was 4x114.3 instead of 4x100, I would've found rims ages ago...

Oh and having paid for the Meisters, the seller reckons he sold them in his shop! WTF??!! Dodgy prick!

So back to square one. Better look quick, or the Panasports will be getting purchased...

[funkymonkey]

dood. Any Honda Shitvic or Toyota MR-S wheel will fit your car. Otherwise, half the reason Cube drivers in Japan run Euro wheels is that Mini's (what japanese guys consider competition to the cube), old VW's etc all ran 4x100 fitment (and they've got pretty low offsets).

game over.

lol 19x8s

I've gone a slightly different direction...bought these:

17x8 so width is right, +30 so no need for spacers, 90mm of dish, they suit the Cube perfectly and they're super-rare in Australia...wins all round...

me dont like.

Also i swear i saw a set of m-spec seats for 200,000yen the other day.

[SkyHi_33]

eehhh dunno bout the chrome/polished finish... get em completely powder coated white would be different and awesome at the same time

The shape of the spokes look a bit odd... other than that it may look good once fitted up to the car though.

[Weezy]

The shape of a Cube is also odd

[Iron Chef]

Bah you guys don't think outside the square that's all - I love Meisters but you need to also think about the car the wheels are going on. I reckon these will suit the Cube very well.

The ones in these pics are 17x7s for reference's sake...

[Weezy]

Once everything is put into perspective

[Jap_star]

my offer still stands for 15s,

just fit and drop the car, will look great

[Luke_ENR34]

15x7 +11 need a quick rim fix

umm that suits a figaro cos it's supposed to remind you of an old Ford Popular, which is a retro car. Cube needs something edgier (no pun intended)

ah well if you've bought it then you must love it. I'd be powdercoating em black/gunmetal instead of chrome as they look like mustang wheels.

[Iron Chef]

lol well you'll all have to reserve judgement till you see them on the car!

[steveP]

they look gangster. i reckon they are the type of rims which look much better in person.

oh well can always change them later.

My thoughts exactly

[Luke_ENR34]

But why not pick the right wheels the first time and save the hassle?

They remind me of those penis wheels
