Rim choices

lwrida · Post by **lwrida** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:56 pm

So apparently my rims are buckled and not to mention the nice gutter rash courtesy of the previous owner.

So I've been looking at some new rims for when I need new tyres, so far I've come up with the following;

Lenso Tenzo DC5 http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_c ... rt_no=1204

Lenso Rc2 http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/page.php?lo ... mag_id=194

Lenso Rs GT http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/page.php?lo ... mag_id=170

Or if there is something that any of you think that will suit, please share, I will never put chrome rims on my car so please don't share those.

Cheers

Chris

what about these, konig's are really light for unsprung weight, and you can change the face plates on the spokes for these

Gmax drift6 look good

and they're lightweight - http://members.iinet.net.au/~sg/sgIMGP0966-800.jpg

only a 2mm gap though to the coilover (from the tyre) if you choose 17x8 +35, 235/40/17. (1 cm from rim to coilover). if you have a spring/shock combo theres probly a little bit more room

GMAX make some sh*t hot light weight wheels. Mine are pretty light for what they are.

I'd look into what they have.

If you want lightweight, you should pop over to the Aus Evo forums... it's mandatory for the rim weight to be specified in the for sale ads!

And a majority of the rims those guys use would fit an FTO
