You need a set of these:



Borbet Type S - one of my favorite wheels.  In a stroke of cruelty, they aren't offered in the bolt pattern my car needs.

Those look liek 17-inchers. t00 b1g. I'd say 16 is the absolute maximum I'd want to go with on this car. those wheels woould still look spiffy in 14", I bet.

for your car, I bet you could find some knock-offs. Have you browsed Tire Rack and Edge Racing at all?

These are the only rims that look "spiffy" in 14"

You have no taste.

Get out.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I could get some whitewalls, too!

Not seriously, but I get a kick out of that picture.
14" is small for wheels though. It's hard to make them look good instead of.. well, small.

These would look good on your Z

I'm leaning towards these:

I'm leaning towards these:

For the Civic?

I'm leaning towards these:

For the Caddy? Well, I can't say I'm not sad that you're not going with the Daytons, but I'm sure it'll turn out to be an awesome car anyways.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I think these would look AWESOME on a DeVille... just because they're so out of place, it kind of makes you wonder what's under the hood

Had those on the Jeep.

Nope, no Nascar rims for the deville, but it's been hard trying to find anything that looks right and doesn't look like a lowrider or a grampa car .

is that the same bolt pattern?
just put a Caddy logo over that Corvette thingy

Bolt pattern is the same, but the offsets are all wrong. I've already checked.

That wheel comes in 15" and 16" as well, so you still have hope.  I will be taking your advice, and checking for imitation styles.  We could start the Borbet Type S wannabe club!

what about Camaros? I like the ol' turbine-style

I don't think I'll be joining your club. I already have two sets of 14" wheels, and tires are cheap and plentiful in that size, so I'm sticking with it.

[Soup DeVille]

Yes, I've considered those, but Camaros for many years ran 4 1/2 inch pattern lugs, I need 5 inchers.

Some of the styles made for custom vans of that era might work though.

What rim size are you looking at? 15x6?

Your loss then.  I can be awesome all by myself. 

[Soup DeVille]

What rim size are you looking at? 15x6?

Either 15s or 17s. There are a lot more styles avaiable in 15 that work, but if I want to upgrade the brakes, which I think I'll have to eventually, the 17s would give me a lot more options there.

8 1/2" wide would fit the best, but I could go as wide as 9 1/2 on the rears.

[TheIntrepid]

So want to tell me what the fuck that thing is?

[Eye of the Tiger]
