Help Choosing 16" Wheels

[Tazza]

I currently have 17" Fox Evo 3s in Silver but I want to go down to 16" wheels as I've heard they handle better.

I have Koni Springs to fit and will be getting some KYB AGX adjustable shocks soon.

I quite like the style of my wheels and they do them in 16" with titanium finish which looks awesome, the package is £500 but thats with budget tyres and not correct sizes. I can't go over £600 for the whole tyre/wheel package and here is some of the options, I also like the Pro race 2 ones B)

My car is Zircon Blue aswell by the way...

[John R]

Second ones down, for sure.

[Bibbs]

OZ .. cause they are a better brand ..

[BLOODUK]

Personally i wouldnt go for any of them there are just TOO many mr2s with those type of wheels

Right on mate. Totally agree.

[John R]

I think multi-spokes look pap on mr2s. The black ones will be cool.

also BLOODUK you have TSW which are known for being like plastic trims!

[Billy C]

They're not Superleggera's are they.

they aren't the strongest out there .. not by a long shot ..

But they are not as bad as others I have seen ..

[BLOODUK]

well my rims were on a different car before .. and there is a large dent from the previous owner going backwards into a forrest ..

If they'd been Fox alloys, not BBS I guarentee they'd be in lots of little pieces by now ..

[Calisto]

I have fox alloys and they are a little soft. I tend to park about a foot away from the kerb these days.and they get a refurb every 6 months.

[midmotorsteve]

cheap alloys like fox, et al (high street types) will buckle if you hit a pot hole very easily. Stuff like BBS, Rays, TOms, Blitz, Oz are much lighter and stronger.

Get a second hand set of quality rims and have them refurbed.

my TOMs C7 16"s

[Tazza]

yeah they look mint, where's the best place to look for 2nd hand wheels like OZ, Toms etc?

[midmotorsteve]

got mine off the driver club for sale section £100 for all 4 not bad when they cost £350 each new :) did have to be refubs tho, were a right mess (been painted white all over with a brush )

[Tazza]

wow thats a wicked price, if you see any for wheel let me know :D I know a place that does a full refurb for £30 a wheel.

Cheers

[Jesus]

I've got a set of lightweight Rays Engineering (Volks Racing) 16" x 7.5 rims going. Very, very expensive new. Polished rim... proper centre nut to cover the wheel nuts. Need a slight refurb, but will let them go for a reasonable price. They do have tyres, but barely legal.

Will post a pic later...

[Jimlad]

I want to see a piccy

[Tazza]

hmm intresting B)

[Bibbs]

I got my old 16" lightweight, split rim Enkei's off Jap eBay and had them shipped via a mate .. £250 ..

I then got my BBS rims for £350 and sold the Enkei's for what I paid for them ..

For good brand names have a watch of any motorsport (especially Jap racing) - you'll see the ones with a bit of class ..
