Anybody Make 16x8" Wheels?

[Silver94Teg]

I can't seem to find any made by a reputable manufacturer? I want to run 245 section tires up front on my teg and want the correct wheel size.

 

[pills_PMD]

why? so they are 98732472938 pounds and stick out of the wheel well??

 

[Silver94Teg]

Nope, so they can put 300lb-ft to the ground without burning up.

Racing Hart, RS Wantanabe, Spoon, Advan, BBS, Volk, Wed's, Circle Racing, SSR, Enkei.....

all of these companies make rims in 16x8.... you must have looked really hard

Yup, maybe i asked too soon. I saw that Volk and RH made a few, but i'm spending all my dough on my engine so i'm on more of a "rota" type budget. I found some Enkei's that i like for not TOO much. So thanks.

spoon (desmond) makes a 16x8? and in a 4x100 38-43+ off set (assuming thats what he has on his integra)? just curious, never heard/seen it from them.

and as for being on a rota style budget, might be hard to get that size on that budget concidering most companies that do make it are $$$. might want to look into black racing they make a 16x8 4x100 for FF's about 220-250 a rim.

its the last rim on the list......

**shit just realized its only 5 lug

its pointless.
im going to have way more power than you are, and im running a 205, maybe a 215 TOPS

its quality of the tire/traction, not quantity

15x7s
205/50/15
good f00king tire

 

[preluderjs]

What tires are you looking into B?

 

[posol]

see my poll in the wheel/tire forum

im not sure yet

but for track use, im going to buy a set of te-37 13x8s and have full slicks on them

i'm trying to find someone to go in on a set with me... i only need 2- and its cheaper to buy all 4

wow, cool, didnt realize they offered that size. good to know

wider is better tho =P depends on wut u are using it for. u'd be suprised at the number of circuit civics that run 15x7.5 and 16x8 up front. using 225+ race slicks. a little over kill unless u are already using a 15x7 205 to the max already. as for drag racing i got nothing to say, cause i dont know anything

Quality over quantity eh? Well that saves me some time and money. Thanks.
