anyone?

who makes a wheel that doesn't cost an arm and leg; doesn't look like it belongs on a conastoga wagon and comes in 15 or 16 " diameters? some dish to the wheels would be nice . why pay good money for wheels not much better looking than hubcaps?

Oh man wheels are such a personal choice. Size color & offset. Lots of folks like the huge wheel look with a fan belt thickness sidewall.

I'm with you in the 15 or 16 camp. Have you looked at Konig Rewinds? A nice non-Conestoga wheel.

I love the 16" OZ's on my Justa, the 12" MINI-lites on my classic, and the new light 17" Enkei's on my track S. You'll get as many opinions on this as there are posters on this thread. I guess why that is why there are so many wheel styles on the market.

Dont forget you also get what you pay for.

Im told my wheels look good all the time

But, theyre heavy and cheaply made... Small spots where the clear is failing.... some with the same wheels are having the same dissappointment after a mere 4 months.

I look forward to a set of expensive lightweight good quality wheels someday
