Affordable black wheels recommendation for 06?

[HaulsBike]

So I am trying to do similar math with a set of Pro Comps (these)

If my stock rims are 17x7.5 +35offset (05 limited)
The procomps are 17x8 with 0 offset

Where will this put me with inner clearance and outer position?

I really don't want to run spacers since they are heavy and my experience with them has not been very good.

Can any wheel guru's help?

How much did the anti-gravity kit cost, NOVA :wink2:

(rig looks sweet with those wheels, by the way)

His tires are just that good

I pulled the trigger and got 17x8 with 0 offset

use this calculator



CCW - Complete Custom Wheel // Technical - Offset Backspacing Converter



it would be 10mm difference. backspacing is rear of rim to mounting surface and 17x8 /-10 would be like an oem rim with a wheelspacer. you have the look of a wheel spacer and it is safer and lighter. if you want to fit like oem then it will be around +25.

Thanks for the help. I have owned my share of aftermarket wheels, but they didn't use to measure rear spacing like they do now.

Crazy thing is I just plastic dipped the stock ones two weeks ago!

Ambit wheels also has some nice cheap wheels.
They're mainly a car wheel company. But have one truck/SUV wheel.

Plasti dip your stock wheels black. One can per wheel, so under $25 total investment.

You will be surprised how good they look. I added a metalizer spray and it makes it look better.

Yeah, that's why there was so many custom wheel place before and the numbers weren't given to the public. Now everything is online for us to get exactly what we want.

I was looking at the mk6 first and decided that punch were cheaper and lighter. It was 8 lbs lighter. I like the look better then punch and I didn't want to add more I un-sprung weight plus bigger tires. The mk6 weighed in at 29 and oem rim was pretty close. But the rims I'm running now are 24 lbs. heavier rims and tires makes braking harder and mpg loss. Just an FYI for people just wanting cheaper rims.

Hey Dpassmore, the MK6's look great. I'm probably getting those or the Trackers but can't decide on the offset. (0 or -10)

Could you post a head-on pic and one from the rear so I can see how much more width you got from stock? Thanks.

 

[Dpassmore]

I'm glad I went with zero.

 

[Dpassmore]

I'll post a couple better ones tmrw.

 

[robaroni]

I love the look of these bad boys but just don't have the $.

 

[Dpassmore]

I was looking at Fuel wheels as well. The we're $70 more EACH!
Here's a better shot of the offset.

 

[fullboogie]

Man, those look good! Makes me think about changing rims...

 

[Dpassmore]

Thanks. I pondered it for a long time, and made the decision in 5 minutes lol.
I'm happy with them.

Looks awesome, good choice and i think if you went with the -10 you would of needed to take off the flaps.

I went with MB TKO 17x8.5 -6mm offset . Offset is perfect. Most inexpensive I could find that I liked. Got them from discount tire.

I liked the look better without the center caps
