huge wheels

So I did some searching for the last 30 minutes and came up with nothing on here.

I recently decided to look into the APR widebody. for that I would need bigger rims. It says I can fit up to 20" X 12" in the rear. I can't find a wheel that big anywhere. Before this I was looking at the axis shine but the biggest those come is 20" X 10" If anyone can help me out with 20" X 12" rims that would be great. I may still get the smaller rims and some spacers to make them look right depending on price. I'm thinking I may need 2 or even 3 piece wheels to get that 12" wide.

Thanks!

Dont want to sound like a jerk but can you even afford it or is this just hopeful dreaming? The kit alone is 4k, plus fitment and paint is another 4-5k, plus custom 3 piece wheels for another 4-10k depending on brand, plus tires for another 1k.

If you are serious alot of companies make custom wheels such as Iforged, Asanti, HRE, Modular, ect. Expect to pay alot.

My friend used them before and the wheels are sweet......

Christ, those wheels are horrible.......I think the kit's even worse.


To the OP, spacers won't make the wheels look "right," even if you can find 2" spacers and longer wheel studs that won't shear. Spend the money, do it right, and get a multi-piece forged wheel that will actually look proper.

not a fan of that kit.

I would agree and say a 3 piece wheel is necessary when going with a wide body.

Sevas are crap rims. Do it right the first time with Asantis or HREs

Well because of time contratins what I'll porbably end up doing is getting the axis shine this spring. Then start saving for the widebody. Get the wide body and the biggest/best spacers I can find and just use those for the time until I can then save up for the big wheels. It will look weird for a little while but I can live with that. besides I'll need the spacers anyway for winter because I'll be putting the stock rims back on with snow tires. That will look weird.

Why not just take all that money you are planning on spending and buy an M3?

I love asantis. The new line are pretty amazing. HRE are bad *** though. Dont buy rims if you are going to do wide body later. Huge wast of money and you wont ever find spacers that will work. You will just end up buying rims again later. Do it right the first time.
