Hunt for unique rims
 

OK.

Here is what I'm looking for.


I want to find rims that have aggressive offset but instead of having spokes go straight and have a 3.5-4 inch lip. I want spokes to go either all the way to the edge of the rim or to almost edge of the rim and then disappear deep inside towards the center of the rim.


Help me out pleaze. :o

hmmm.... Volks GTM's?

^none of the rims I seeing on this site fit that description.

no.. wrong./.. those have lips... hold up. lemme find one

You are looking for concave wheels. Here is a good place to start

One of my personal favshttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...1/IMG_4149.jpg

totally wrong man.

I don't want a hole in the middle of the rim

I want spokes to be sucked in towards the middle

This is a really sh!tty picture of what I'm looking for

You can see there is still a lip on that rim but spokes do come almost to the edge of the rim and they all the way back inside the rim.

Making it kinda look like a bowl.

That's the look I need.

ahh ok.. concave.. like this?

Oh.....good luck with that one, your description could use some work though

You got it babe.


But I need more negative offset then that.



Sorry for description Redlude97.

G is my first car that I'm making attempts to pimp out.

Not familiar much with after market terms and products.

oooo yea me too.. i want them in gold though... hot hot

^I hate that design.

Hate lots of thin spokes

so how many spokes you lookin for? I have a couple rim and tire guides for 2006 and 2007 that i can look through when i get home. maybe you should MSpaint a crappy design

oh it's not design I'm worried about.

I can't find rims that (concave) style at all


Let me see them all


I'm more of a fan of a few fat spokes.

I think you are looking for something like this

okay' give me a call later, i'll get them to you

Indeed

but those are too busy

I want to see more wheels in such style.

what you gonna get me?

how about these?

I was going to suggest the Tenzo Type-M as well. Someone recently started a thread asking about them. I like where Joker's thread is going. I've always been a fan of the M-3 rims so I'm looking forward to what this thread is going to come up with. I'm in the market for rims too.

Prob something like this bmw factory 18" concave, less lip, big wheel look

http://www.lwnt.com/wheels/bmw-250.JPG

Those wheels make me cringe :icon43:

Not bad but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Need less spokes


My Ideal wheel design would be M45 sport wheels with lot's of negative offset.

Second choice would be something similar (6 spokes split in two) in concave design.

You trying to make my car look worse then Redlude97s? :mad:

I actually like them and the no lip style.

These are of course bad to the azz x twinwtillion

Sorry with a description that would make Hellen Keller cringe, it's what I came up with

What are these rims on the red z and where can i get a set >>>???

They look like Advan RS, I pick mine up next week

weds kranze LXZ's

super star ORDEN's

i dunno if thats your style just some suggestions....:thewave:

I've always loved the Weds Kranze LXZ in the polished finish. I'll probably scoop up a set when I eventually ditch my current setup.

^this look nice.

Ah..thanks for translating that to English for us. Concave wheels. Nothing unique about that. Plenty of people running that style to.

progressive ME's..... me want!!!

don't see anything I like enough to put on my car so far.

I'm not referring to the spoke design but the concave style it self.

I'm looking for more negative offset.

I like these ones:
http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...525&CheckFit=1

now this is what I'm looking for (but real not for RC car)

Spoke design don't matter. But the offset and concave style is right on the money.

Ahh dam that's going to be hard,well of all the 1 piece rims listed above I havn't seen one that goes negative offsets you could use spacers or special
order multi piece wheels with high disk's all around in negative offsets with some lip :dunno: good luck tho....:biggthumpup:btw i had those exact wheels for my traxxas blue eagle ls 2 those were pimp back in the day.

Join me back here in reality, Joker. You can only go so far because of widths, offsets, and brake clearance.

Are you looking for 18/19/20?
What kind of drop are you going with?
How far are you willing to go with your fenders? Roll/cut/pull/flare/radius?
Are you willing to run a wide wheel with super stretched tires?

I want it perfect.



Here is the Ideal wheel that I'm looking for.


Take any 19/20 inch wheels with 4inch lip. (good offset right, will work just fine)

Now keep the same offset but pull the spokes out towards the edge of the rim.......................You got the rim I want.

Have you looked at the Nismo LMGT4? Its hard to find a pic of the ones with the lower offset but I believe they do what you want them to do.

If you're ok with 18"s, they'res the work Emotion XT7

I don't like spokes sticking out of the rim.
