chris, just about everybody who's added aftermarket wheels has posted in this thread, it should keep you busy for a while:

Show me your WHEELS

almost any HRE's are going to be 3 piece as well, I suspect.

Bump again to see some 2 or 3 pieces.

Looking at SSR MS1R's in either the super black coat or flat black.

You've probably already seen these, but I'll play

2-piece on my old car





Sold the 2-piece wheels for the 3-piece version of the wheel





And the cool 3-piece wheel design shirt that I sell at www.stancedesign.com

I don't really get it either. Looks like we would need to run the Normal Disk rather than the super low.....so you're looking at the NR column. I don't really get the offset thing though. I'm not sure why there are "+42" numbers etc. Is it the added width of the disk? That's my guess.

i'm guessing the top number is the backspacing or lip size or sth
and the bottom chart numbers are the actual offset?

HRE's are beautiful, but I'm worried they'd cost too much money. I'd like 17's, and from what I remember, they only come in 18's and up.

What size are they?

They are GREAT, I love double 5 spokes and mesh spokes.

yes, they are stupid $$, but i really like them! they are 18 X 8.5. offset unknown, but i will check the next time i have them off as i've learned that it is stamped on the wheel.

you are correct that they start at 18".

i don't deal w/ major potholes here in so. fla., but the railroad tracks can be pretty brutal. no complaints here.

i run 17" wheels on the track. stay tuned for my long awaited Kodiaks. three piece forged wheels. black anodized centers w/ polished lips.

Nice choice

I'm hoping to rock these in the New Year, again if I can figure out if they'll fit in 18". I'll hopefully be going for the gold face on a Dark Silver MINI.

Whoa can't wait to see the Kodiacs Bean ! Not crazy for black centers but for the track I'm sure it'll look hot on your car.

I'm assuming he's talking about a craze among the imports with all black wheels as of late.

Personally I think they're pretty cool, but whatever.
