Title: can anyone identify this rim?
Post by: papiocho on June 21, 2006, 05:58:57 PM
i got the set of 4 from a friend, and he got them from a friend and he got them from some guy at a dealership that has first dibs on anything that is traded in there. so, now i want to find the center caps but i need to know what company makes them or maybe even a web site of some kind that could help??
i'm not sure how wide they are but there 16's

They're just a cheapo wheel.  The make should be printed on the inside of the rim.

Paint them black and leave the centers off...

just some generic wheels. Probably drilled for the 4x100 or 4x114.

Not my cup of tea but looks like you got some decent tires. 712's?

crappiest tires you can buy! I have them and they suck! If you want a good street tire, I recommend yokohama avs es100's, those are great. Other than that I use Toyo RA1's for my track tires.

I ran ecsta supras on my Supra and RX-7 and they were superb.

I don't think they grip very well. Which means they do last for quite a few miles, and are fine for if you want to drift. The yokohamas had an extremely noticable difference, I think I got about 7k miles out of those. And the Toyo RA1's are just insane.
