Whitegv Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 right lads basically wheel spacings etc are confusing the hell out of me.ive currently got rota track rs that are 16x7inch. the cars really low so on a rough road or during a u turn for instance they rub.this i can handle as next year the car will only be used at weekends and for trck days and shows. itsgettign a few treats over winter to give it more than enough power soooo, i want some rota grid drifts in 16x8 as its the smallest size. i know it can be done as another member has done it. just want to know firstly the meanings of offset and et (are they the same thing) and what would be best ofest/et to get for these wheels, bearing in mind i have 300mm wilwoods :/theyll be mostly for shows as ill use the track rs for track use and the odd scoob slaying session any help will be really appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitegv Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 i wasnt aware someone else had done it until tonight. tbh its put me off if anything but theres not many other wheels imo that give the same look for stance. itll be white on white not going for any daft colours as i want a clean look. thats like saying that anyone with any jdm wheel that somone else has is copying realy, theres a lot of cars on here with the same wheels, bumpers interior etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep91face Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Why you wanna copy though?why wouldnt he want to get a pair of rims he seen look extremely well on the same model of car he owns? everyone needs to get a bit of inspiration somewhere and im sure there is only a handful of members on here that have rims no one else has on their starlet. this elitist attitude is just silly in the tuning world seeing as every manufacturer usually has demo cars wouldnt ye all be copying them to begin with?
