Aftermarket Wheels

[davebo]

They are true directional wheels.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between true and false directional wheels? I'm accustomed to seeing VW's directional wheels on Golfs that are always backwards on one side, and of course supercars with staggered wheel size that get a unique wheel for each corner so they can all roll the proper direction. Is that what "true" is in this context?

True directional wheels all turn in the same direction.

So are they all backwards on the passenger side?

There's left and right sides.

What color is this?

Anybody have experience with Niche? They have several styles I like, staggered fitments, and they're affordable. I find the Misano particularly fetching (not the red). The Targa looks good, too.

Misano Series

Targa Series

A shop near me sells them - look nice and he's been happy selling them. I'll bring my blue GT there soon for tint and will hold up the wheels time permitting

For those trying to figure out wheel offset, and what changes with different wheels, this is a great visualizer an calculator (also shows speedometer correction factors): tiresize DOT com SLASH wheel-offset-calculator (can't post links yet)

I'm definitely watching this thread, considering the Niche Misano Anthracite, TSW Sprint Gunmetal, ARK-270s Black Chrome (sale price $199.75) for winter sets... but not all are in the 18x8 I'd like for winter (though that's not that critical)

One thing that would be VERY helpful for me is if each user posted the weight of their wheels... so hard to find that info on websites typically even though it's so critical to performance. When I swap my wheels off, I'm going to have the shop weight the stock tires and wheels (both front and back since I have the staggered 19s) to find out if that 34lbs is correct on the 19".

 

[eolith]

so, called about weights and prices:

Niche Misano does not come in 5x114.3 closest is 5x115, but they're 24lbs
TSW Sprint is 24lbs and $224
ARK-270s Black Chrome are 32lbs(!) on sale for $224 (19s only)

I'm really want new wheels, but gonna hold my breath and wait till the Michelin's are worn out. This is the leader ... right now.

The SF03 is a good choice. So is the site you're researching on. Let us know if you have any questions!

I think I've settled on the TSW Genevas. TSW says 30 offset. They're 19lbs!

Had a set of Motegi MR116s put on yesterday. Very pleased with the result given the budget I had to work with.

Is that a non-directional tread pattern on those tires so you can actually rotate them between sides?

I had 19x8.5 niche targas on my Kia Optima. Im thinking on putting 2 of those rims up front on the stinger and buying 19x10 rims for the rear on 275/35/19 tires

I love these, what tires did you go with and did you have that center piece painted yourself or does it come like that?
