>>15253552
They look like knock offs even if they're not they still look like shit
>>15253579

>>15253594
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.

>>15253552
>modenas in Ecko Unlimited I work at ups check my fitty cap chrome

>>15253666
Chrome a shit. Polished is the only way to go when it comes to mirror finishes.
Pic is my WS6 on Fikse FM-5.
>tfw already wheelspotting on Ebay
>tfw don't even have the correct car to put them on yet
i used to enjoy these satanic wheels on a old honda bike i sold
Nothing beats the look of the steel wheel.

>>15256762
Up your poor gaping asshole
Or in the garbage. Whatever you prefer
>>15256585
Polish is a bitch to maintain
>>15256605

>>15256803
Apparently they're O.Z. MSW 1911B. Period correct '80s rollers.

Meant for this
>>15257224
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
>>15257207
Do they make an affordable trim like the GT86 with no A/C or radio?
>>15257250
ESRs are reps bro
Should I buy these for my citroen BX? I can't find anything convincing in 14 inch
>>15257294
>s12 hatch with proper era wheels
muh dik
>>15257325
stop asking anonymous strangers to make decisions for you
>>15257294
I'm probably autistic, but what's bad about replicas? Is it because they'll crack?
>>15257250
>black wheels on black car

>>15257530
mostly weight. just simple street cars can handle replicas fine. Serious track cars should consider something lighter
>>15257665
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?
>>15257708
I hope this is bait
>>15253552
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.

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.
>>15260327
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.
>>15260158
Satin, chrome makes you look like a wannabe

How does /o/ feel about modern looking wheels on classic muscle cars?
>>15253960
Nice evo, cuck.
forgot pic
>>15262588
Modern looking is such a bad, broad term it's not worth discussing.
>>15262597
>>15262588
shit.
>>15262597
Big chromed wheels with low profile tires look fucking terrible on classic muscle cars imo.
>>15262620
>>15262627
>>15262643
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>>15262597) 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)
>>15262597
>>15262588
Nigger tier.
Classic car classic wheels faggot
Thoughts on this wheel? Im getting a set a couple months from now
>>15253552

Are you really that poor?
>>15262590
>evo
?????
>>15253552
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.
>>15253666
Looks like plastic, Satan.
>>15256550
We call those "Halford's wheels" in the UK
These are in the shed
>>15264294
What car is that? It looks like complete gaudy garbage
>>15264321
:( I liked that car
>>15264321
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
>>15262588
Some of them work like this for example but most look like shite
>>15262717
That's a wallet destroyer right there
>>15264390
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.
>>15256688
BRX's are super rare right?
>>15264591
Pretty rare yeah, they are very old

maybe if you spray painted them or some shit then ok, but they just look so cheap

Secondhand Enkei RP-02 in 15x7 +38
Hopefully having them re powder coated this winter since the powder coat on one is fucked up. Unsure of what color to go with though. I might end up widening them all by 1/2" while I'm at it, but I haven't made up my mind yet about that.
