Im having hard time

[simmo]

So I spent last 2 weeks shopping for wheels and so far having crappy luck.
I want something like this...

And im looking for 2 things.
1) 16' - most wheels i can find that I like are 17 and over

2) I dont want the universal lug nut look. If I can either find the exact bolt pattern wheel or a universal 4 lug but with a cap on top so you wont see the lugs nuts at all..

Please help!!

[simmo]

[oldmanatee]

I had a few, but like you said, 16's are hard to get....

those ultraleggeras are sexy.

[simmo]

yes they are.. as well as Rota Torques. still both of them have that "universal" look.. I don't think i will find any rim in my style, size and color with a cap over lugs. :( so i will have to make my decision on whats available.

...or call up HRE and have them build you a set :)

I think the smallest they build is 17.. besides, what the hell does 1.595 per wheel price means? $1595/wheel? omfg :ra:

[simmo]

Ok.. so forget the idea of 16" wheels.. Now i have decided to get 17 with nice looking lip. Im thinking 32 offset iduno.. Would still prefer the look of Work Emotions but im open for suggestions.

since I have work emotions, and you live so close to me, I will flip your car upside down if you do.:ra:

[simmo]

hahahaha.. Very slight chance that i will go with emotions. The lip isnt satisfying me. :) but i could get a VERY good deal for them though, so its tempting.
ill make you a deal. you find me a set of wheels that look similar, with good lip/offset and i will go with them, otherwise.... emotions it is :) haha
u coming down tomorrow?

[IllNist]

nope not coming down.... got screwed out of the day .

I get off when it starts.


If you are wanting a big lip you get the offset different.
you can get works in any offset.

just dont get emotions.

[simmo]

but i like emotions.. with 32 offset it would be killer. and look different from yours.

to be honest i would be pretty pissy about any xA having the same wheels as me. Even more so with you a hour away.

Just dont get the CR Kai


you want emotions with a lip get these Xd9s

[simmo]

so i have a choise then : a) lose a fellow xa buddy b) get the wheels of my dreams. lol

[IllNist]

did you not peep out that link?

[simmo]

i did.. i still like kai better :) but we'll see.

[simmo]

Illnist, my friend, you gonna have to forgive me. I just found the craziest deal on Work 17" Emotion 'CR Kai' and I would be the last deuchbag if i didnt take that deal... but hey, at least we'll have different color, im gettin the bronze ones.
