Petrol Wheels, what do you think?

Hello everyone,

So I been looking at these Petrol wheels for my LR coupe. The price is great but how is the quality? Anyone have some pictures? Below are links to the wheels:

Post pics and thoughts...

Thanks!

they are a nice looking wheel..prob is, once you start looking into the offset, your actually goin higher than factory spec and the wheels will actually look sunk in...i have liked the look of petrol wheels myself, look clean for the money, but once i learned about offset, i realized that pretty much most budget costing wheels that look good, have one flaw...HIGH OFFSETS...if you wanna stay in that budget..go XXR...same price and a bit better offset...i had two sets myself....actually getting rid of my second set now trying to get my third LOL!

High offset is the first thing I noticed. These wheels in particular are 40 offset front and rear. I figure a 15mm spacer would make them look a lot better.... xxr was also a thought. I might say f it and grab some vsxx's

If you're going to buy some new wheels, try to pick them in the proper offset that you want / desire.

Kind of a waste of cash to get wheels with such a high offset to only have to run a massive spacer later down the road.

Petrol id made by TSW....i have a friend who had a set and they were nice, but like the others said get the correct offset to avoid the need for spacers

Don't do it....!

There are two issues with these wheels, quality & fitment! You could buy big azz spacers to correct one issue but when it comes to quality there's no way to know if these wheels will come apart at speed. Quality is the main issue I have buying anything on eBay.

Yeah you will need gigantic spacers to make em flush.. nice looking wheels.. maybe check out the new XXR 526. Same look. They are around the same price with some +15 offsets.. not that aggressive but would look a hell of of alot better.

Ive heard a few bad things about Next Level Motoring (NLN). I would think twice about buying from them.

Thx fellas. Just about everyone of you have given a comment I agree with. Dropping 3k on a set of wheels has always been a hard one for me but I just might. You pay for what you get. Gonna do it right. Do it eight the first time . Ehhhhhh I hate how into these cars I am LOL. ANYWAYS, Thx again fellas!
