Stinger Wheels

[stingerbeagle]

I've been considering a new set of wheels, but can't make up my mind. A friend suggested setting up some kind of "mood board" to help me decide, but sadly, it didn't help, and just increased my indecision. I'm probably going to abandon this for a while, but I figured I'd donate the board in case others want to use it for look-ups. I'd been adding entries into it over the last few months. There are some other sites that do this (e.g. wheelfront) but they tend to lack important info like offsets.

Stinger Wheels Board

Best viewed on a real computer instead of your phone, where you can filter and sort by brand, offset, width, etc.

Happy hunting.

Nice! I really need to get a shot of the back 3/4 view with the 285s in there. I REALLY like the way it looks..

Happy to add it in if you post one somewhere. The Enkei TY-5 is one of my leading contenders actually. Would love to see more shots of it on yours since I also have a ceramic silver.

Impressive! How much work went into that (so far)?

This should be a sticky.

Not too much. Hours, not days. I just added new wheel setups into the list over the last few months as they came in, and each one only takes a minute. Airtable makes these kinds of things really easy.

Well, wash them (and the whole car) every day then. It's fun and very soothing.

Cover my work shift and it's a deal.

You're overthinking this thing. A car wash during "rainy season" is often soaking up rain (don't rub). And if you want to make a production out of it, then get two buckets or a bunch of towels at least. Spend a half hour after work making your car pretty-happy and the rest of the evening will have a glow about it. I know this.

You're an absolute legend this is going to help a lot of undecided folk.

Giving this good thread a bump with a question for you guys:
Bronze / Copper colored wheels on a Micro Blue GT, yea or nay? I'm looking into lightweight wheels and I'm thinking it would look really good.

I personally really like that combo. I was thinking of bronze/copper but it doesn't seem to look good with a silver car. It seems best on black and blue imho.

The good news is I just found some TSW Nurburgrings available in their matte bronze... I really like that pattern. The bad news is I can't afford to do anything yet. If COVID hadn't ruined my income stream for the last few months I'd be pulling the trigger right now lol.

I've been going back and forth between the TSW Nurburgring and Enkei Raijin. I think I'm starting to like the look of the Enkei more over time.
