minilites in 14's would look sweet if the offset was ok!

13's do look the nuts, but they are so impractical. You have to slam the car or the look daft and you will get stuck on a pebble. Also your speedo will be well off, fuel consumption will be pants and your engine will scream for mercy at 70. They dont go over any bigger brakes than standard 8v items. A lot more cons!!

chris, not like venoms  :sick:

but i like them minilites  :cool:

me too, they go up to 17" aswell  :huh:

i'd prefer the widest 14" ones they make  :cool:

+1, looking at DOWNSIZING  :shocked: to 14s  :cool:

you can buy those 'minilite' style wheels up to 9" wide in 15's, but only 6" wide with the 14s  :sad:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

If you deal with Compomotive direct they can make most specs to order, I looked at getting 8x15's for mine.

Hahaha yeah there are a few cons, if i got some 13"'s they'd probably only be used every now and again. has anyone ever tried those diamond racing wheels? some of them come in silly wide sizes! :laugh:
