Umnitza is going to carry a new wheel line - we currently carry BBS, Kinesis, RD SPort <--- all not so inexpensive but high quality brands. And those companies ALL know how to build a wheel.

I'm unable to search on this forum for some reason so I'm looking for advice. We've contacted Kevin about sponsoring this forum and remain interested in doing so, as soon as he contacts me back.

1) What is the STOCK offset on the STOCK non-upgraded wheels?
2) What is the STOCK offset on the sport package wheels (is there such a thing)?
3) What is the maximum width wheel in 17, 18, and 19"? Do you know the offsets?
4) Who here runs a BBK? What wheels have worked for you witht he BBK?
5) Does anyone ever buy 20"?
6) What are the more popular wheel choices above $300 per wheel?
7) Would you consider 2pc Forged wheels for $400-500 per wheel?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

 

A lot of the info can be found here:

And the other questions:

1. Pretty sure it's 45, 6in width for the 97-99 (they seem tucked compared to aftermarket)
2. Definately 45, 6.5 in width for the 97-99 (they seem tucked compared to aftermarket)
3. Offset 35-40, 8.5 inches width
4. ?
5. Yes, a few do
6. SSR, Volk, Centerline RPM, anything lightweigh
7. Only if they were at light and strong as my Volk TE37s (probably not)

 

sorry, 4 = BBK = Big Brake Kit = aka Big Red from Porsche, Brembo, etc.

there is nothing as light as the TE37s. I've seen the 18X8s in persona and they are spectacular. But they are also too expensive.

We will carry something that is 2lbs per wheel heavier than those, but be built here in the US and 2pc forged.

 

1. 45 mm 17x7 200+ SE
2. """""""""
3. The widest I can run on my lowered 2002 is 18x8.5" 37mm offset. I put 8mm spacers on and it and rubbed like hell in the rear.
4. I don't know. Talk to Y2KevSE, Look2Me40, Irvine78, etc.
5. Rarely in this forum. I would say that 5% of the aftermarket wheels in this forum are twinkies.
6. What he said. Weight seems to be a big concern. I could personally care less.
7. No. Most people wouldn't either. Most people in this forum are fairly cheap and will not spend over $1500 for a wheel/tire package.

 

bummer, you cheapskates:P

 

Yea, I think that's why we all bought maximas, it packs a lot of value for the $$$. "Most" of us just don't want to spend that much. If you're looking for expensive rim buyers, you'd have to look at more expensive car forums.... Supra, STI, MB, BMW. We're a bunch of cheapskates. Cept for me and my 18x7.5 TE37s :P
