Which wheels look best ?

[White Lightning]

I need your help please guys. I have got two sets of wheels for the VR-4 and we have decided to sell one set. But we really cannot decide which ones we prefer. So it's time for a poll. Which wheels do YOU think look best on the car.

Both sets at 17".

Option 1: Oz Superleggera 17 x 7 (first two photos). These were the ones fitted to the car at Japfest on Saturday.

Option 2: EVO VI wheels (also Oz Racing) 17 x 7.5 (second two photos). These are recently refurbished and are like new.

if i had to choose, it would be first (which i voted) primarily cos there are less spokes to clean.

[psbarham]

super leggys without a doubt :afro:

[bradc]

the first set....in 17x8 :)

[TAR]

EVO VI wheels - look cool.:afro:

[peter thomson]

1st set for me as well

[Crickle]

I like them both, the 1st set go with the simple clean look of the car, the second set make the car look a bit sharper as they are so much busier to look at.
Hope that helps mate.

The supers for me.. then slam the suspension. The supers look somewhat bigger :inquisiti

[Brunty]

Supers for me too!

Wot he said. Then maybe get the calipres to stand out a bit more, it'd look really purposeful.

[Spirit]

The Super's for me of course......they were what I fitted after all.....:pimp2:

[bradc]

What about...the wedsport TC-005's on pistonheads? Then your car will have at least one thing in common with the ultimate VR-4 - mine :)

Don't worry, the suspension is top of the to do list after the 'Ring trip /yes

Thanks for the votes so far guys ... keep em coming ...

[richy rich]

first for me i prefer less spokes.

is it me or are your rear quarter panels a totally different colour

[WildCards]

Yep Super legs, although I do like the Weds on PH

Nope. It's not you. The rear quarter panels are a totally different colour. /pan

They actually don't look too bad in the flesh but they do really stand out in those photos don't they ... :inquisiti

It's getting sorted before the end of the year ... /yes

Evo 6 wheels for me ... luvvemm

Evo 6 wheels for me ... luvvemm

One thing I have realised is not coming across in these photos is the stance of the car on the EVO VI wheels.

The Superlegs are 7" wide wheels with an ET45 offset.

The EVO VI wheels are 7.5" wide with an ET38 offset.

Which means the EVO VI wheels sit out much further on the car than the Superlegs, giving the car a "fatter" look ... which I like ...

The only problem is I am not sure whether the arches would rub if I kept the EVO VI wheels as they do sit slightly prude of the front arches ... :thinking:

[BraindG]

you've seen how low my car is, and ive got them 235/45/17's now - as a test the other night, i went round this ever increasing left hand corner - doing about 40 into it and 90 out of it.. no rubbage....

although, im not sure what would happen if i chucked it round a corner, or a roundabout yet.... :thinking:

[White Lightning]

What offset ?

[pezza]

Hmm more of a pain to clean but look much better IMO.

What tyres are on the Evo 6 wheels? with 225s It shouldn't catch with sorted suspension. But then that depends how low you wanted to go I guess. If you were thinking B12 low like yer bruvva then maybe yup they wud catch.

Also if planning to go down the brembo brake route, will the calipers fit behind the Superlegz?? :inquisiti

They will with 5mm spacers.....that's what I had for my KADs

[BraindG]

What offset ?
Sorry, im assuming 38.

Both wheels are fitted with 225/45/17s.

I don't want to go as low as Pete. In fact, I am planning to go for fully adjustable suspension so that I can raise it a touch for town driving and then slam it for track days ... :scholar:

I know that Brembos will fit under the EVO VI wheels. As Pete says the Superlegs may fit with spacers but I would rather avoid spacers tbh. That said, Brembos are sooo far down the list they may never happen anyway ... plus the EBCs held up well on track ... :scholar:

[Alex]

Normally I'd say the more spokes the better, but in the case I prefer the look of the first set.

Neither look bad though mate :)

[richy rich]

Hi Wayne I may be intrested in the evo VI if you sell them.

[Nick Mann]

I voted supers before reading this thread. There is not a lot of difference between them from the side, to be honest, but the exra width of the stance would probably make me change my vote.

[White Lightning]

Here are a few more shots that I took from different angles to try and show what I mean about the wider stance of the EVO VI wheels ...

I am still undecided ... the vote is with the Superlegs at the moment though ...

[ralliart-type-s]

I'd go for the 2nd set just cos they're wider, keeping 'em clean aint too hard if you polish them, the muck just rinses off.

[djb160]

Yeah I like the wider stance as well

[Gly]

id go for the evo wheels just coz there wider and they fit brembos,

but i like the look of the first wheels best.
