They look like knock offs even if they're not they still look like shit
yeah Modena's only look good with a flat finish
not fucking babby boomer chrome
FYI F40 wheels aren't Modenas. They're Speedlines.
I just had these chromed. Lips,barrels, faces, caps, bolts. I just wanted them to look nuts and so far so good.

I want to buy new wheels to my gt86
I want them to be lightest then stock '17
Also I cant buy TE37 bcus Im from Poland
What gonna be lightest/better, Rota IK-R (grid) or Japan Racing JR3?
got these for 650 new
oem is better
I dont like the way they look. they are light which is good but I want nice looking wheels too :S
>modenas in Ecko Unlimited I work at ups check my fitty cap chrome
Dam senpai y u retarded
Chrome a shit. Polished is the only way to go when it comes to mirror finishes.
Pic is my WS6 on Fikse FM-5.

How about nah
steelies do actually look cool though
They don't
picked up a set of these bad boys for the 86

fully fookin sick
as someone who finds it hard to appreciate wheels that weren't designed specifically for their car, fuck no they don't
then where exactly should i put my fakes?
Up your poor gaping asshole
Or in the garbage. Whatever you prefer
Polish is a bitch to maintain
what are these called?
Apparently they're O.Z. MSW 1911B. Period correct '80s rollers.
based steelies
Currently getting these on my car very soon. I cant wait.
what car?
...
2010 Acura TL SH-AWD
Meant for this
RPF-1 is the best wheel of all time.
Can't decide if these or split spoke on a black e36.
Yee or Nah?
Hoshino Impuls
Do they make an affordable trim like the GT86 with no A/C or radio?
ESRs are reps bro
Should I buy these for my citroen BX? I can't find anything convincing in 14 inch
>s12 hatch with proper era wheels
muh dik
stop asking anonymous strangers to make decisions for you
I'm probably autistic, but what's bad about replicas? Is it because they'll crack?
>black wheels on black car
ISHYGDDT
mostly weight. just simple street cars can handle replicas fine. Serious track cars should consider something lighter
he's right about cracking though. The strength of a proper forged wheel is needed to withstand the huge amounts of torque put on the spokes in cornering at high speeds.
>Glossy black wheels
who /rich/ here?
I hope this is bait
What do you guys think of these? 18" stock Scion tC wheels. Thinking of putting them on my black Scion iM
I am getting a '99 LS400 in Imperial Jade Mica like pic related. I am replacing the wheels with the five-spoke LS430 wheels. Should I do chrome or satin finish? Pics to follow.
>1/2
>2/2
the grain structure in a forged wheel is more uniform and compressed unlike casted where the grain structure isn't as rigid since some areas of the material the particles are not as close together and in the poorest quality of casting air pockets in the material which I doubt is ever to be found since there are casting processes that eliminate the possibility of an air pocket.
A low pressure casting process strengthens the grain structure by compressing the particles in the molten material tightly eliminating the possibility of irregularities and air pockets from forming, most wheel manufacturers use this since it gives a better quality than traditional casting methods. You don't really have to worry about cracking as much since heat treating processes exist to harden the outer surface of the wheel preventing any cracks from forming, it also adds some rigidity.
Forged is currently gives off a better quality than cast but please don't let this make you picky on purchasing a wheel. Most wheels are low pressure casted and heat treated, and most are DOT approved.
A rep will be okay but not as good as the real wheel.
Another factor to strength is if the wheel is multipieced. Multipieced wheels are mostly for aesthetic purposes. A multipieced wheel will not be as strong as a one piece.
courreges are my jam. Was thinking on buying these recently, never knew they made any meshes, even Kyusha shoes didn't know. Sadly, import would have been way too much.
Satin, chrome makes you look like a wannabe
trips speak truth
How does Veeky Forums feel about modern looking wheels on classic muscle cars?
Nice evo, cuck.
forgot pic
Modern looking is such a bad, broad term it's not worth discussing.
shit.
Big chromed wheels with low profile tires look fucking terrible on classic muscle cars imo.
Figured;I'm not personally a big fan either. But I'm looking for one to drive pretty regularly(a Chevelle more than likely like) And every one I find that isn't a rust bucket or a $50,000 restored all original has wheels that just don't look right. Where would one find some more "classic" looking wheels?(Sorry about asking here I just didn't feel like this deserved it's own thread)
Nigger tier.
Classic car classic wheels faggot
Thoughts on this wheel? Im getting a set a couple months from now
any suggestions for my mazda ? it's my first car and i wanna spoil the fug out of it
Where can I find these wheels!?!?!?!?
>Buying Work wheels
Are you really that poor?
>evo
?????
What kind of wheels are these?
360 wheels on a cmax?
What do you guys recommend for a 4 lug bolt pattern 4x114.3?
15" would do fine
My current project has the stock 13" wheels and the narrow ass 155 tires.
Looks like plastic, Satan.
We call those "Halford's wheels" in the UK
These are in the shed
What car is that? It looks like complete gaudy garbage
:( I liked that car
You look like complete gaudy garbage, faggot.
Not even the poster or a merc fan, but fuck son that's clean save for the mismatched bumper.
How does backspacing and offsets work?
Im a wheel scrub
Some of them work like this for example but most look like shite
That's a wallet destroyer right there
Offset is how far the mounting point is from the wheel center.
The positive the offset the mounting point will be positioned more towards the outside of the barrel(the outer rim) from the center of the barrel
Negative the offset the more the mounting position is towards the inside of the wheel(the inside rim) from the center.
With 0 offset, the wheel hub and mounting point will be positioned in the middle of the barrel.
Back spacing is the distance from the mounting point to the inside rim.
BRX's are super rare right?
Pretty rare yeah, they are very old
>stancefags and '80s wheels fans pollute every thread
