6 bolt TE37s need to be bigger in size than 5 bolts because of the difference in PCD and bore size which shortens the length of the spokes and makes them look poo poo. 37s are a great looking wheel if they're in a decent size with dish and offset. poo poo:  Sweet:  Same goes for virtually all wheels designs though, flat wheels look like crap 99% of the time.

With a better offset those Kia rims would look pretty boss. Just like of those Smart rims were flat they'd look poop. The science is sound. *edit: content from https://kyushashoes.com/ which is possibly the biggest library of rare old Japanese wheels on the internet. There's so so many.

Buy Japanese wheels, I'm fairly positive they all have a bronze option and have done for quite some time!

The latter just look the same as what you've got on it so would be a bit of a waste in terms of aesthetics imo.

Laserface posted:Sort of what I was thinking, but I do really like the oem wheels too, and did consider just adding 20mm spacers to push them out a bit more. They're very curb rashes though. Considered just painting the OEM ones + spacers ?? They're nice wheels...

Laserface posted:Croooober appears to be endorsed by upgarage as their worldwide broker and Jesse wants to skim 10% off the purchase price so he's not cheaper. Friend bought a set of weirdly sized and impossible to get anywhere else 5x114.3 Watanabes from Croooooooooooober and there was no issue with the service at all.

That's where the wheels will sit, yeah but he's going for a bosozoku fully-overfendered look to stay somewhat inside the law. This kinda vibe:

Dude that's doing it is a special case though and I fully support his madness. He's like another friend of mine, they're both great because they always take things to extremes and I know where I want to be is like a few steps back from that

I recently (yesterday) found out about Enkei BIG END RODDERS. Apart from having the coolest name of any wheel ever, they're actually pretty sweet.   Like all the coolest wheels though they're 4-bolt and super rare.

There are definitely lovely 3 spokes out there, same as any number of spokes though. IMO, lovely 3 spokes:      Cool 3 spokes that work with the car they're attached to:        I think they're a lot harder to get 'right' in terms of outright design and indeed making them work on a car. Let me just say here I've never actually been that much of a fan of 3 spokes until I saw a set of Advan sa3r in a decent size with proper dish and offset. And that offset can have a dramatic effect on wheels to the point where it will make cool wheels look poo poo, same with sizing.

Yeah the car looks fantastic but the wheels are the worst of the soft curve 90s fad that afflicted so much of the industry, they're the only bad point about the car and luckily are an easily solved problem dphi posted:These are actually fine if they're on a body dropped hardbody or something. Allowable on period minitrucks but again these fall under the 'depending on car' thing.

I get weird targeted ads on instagram and those weird wheels popped up. Iegit want those heart ones... Some boutique US company I stumbled across last week makes them at a cost of like $600 a corner.

Huh. Today I found out about these Heroes Racing Super Speed wheels which were drilled out to accept a set of spacers that allowed you to use them on both 4x100 and 4x114.3 wheels.
