Final wheels decision

nazthug · Feb 23, 2001

kinda

ok, depending on how bat goes through tomorow, if not, then im down to 3 choices, all are TEAM DYNAMICS. why? They are the only ones with my offset, they are sort of light and look good. Also because i want to buy them with tires already on, saves time and money and hassle so victoria tire will provide them. Here are the 3 choices:

Tornado

Monza(in silver ofcourse)

Rim2000

im starting to like the rim2000 because of the rally/OZ crono look. They are dope. the monzas ofcourse for the other rally look and the tornados for this look

help me decide?????? By next week if bat doesnt go through.

Tornado

FocusZTec · Feb 23, 2001

Tornado all the way .

atmzx3 · Feb 23, 2001

hey naz, the wheels on that black 5door focus aren't tornados. check the # of spokes. i'll go with the tornados though, i bet they'll look even better than that picture does.

naz, what about the width of the wheel? they are 17x7 1/2 aren't they?! are you sure that a 7 1/2 inch wide wheel will tuck? i'd say go back to the drawing board and find a 17x7 45mm offset wheel that you like. best of luck in your endless search for the perfect wheels.

those ones on the 5-door hatch look like Snipers. i believe the company is TR Motorsports, but i'm not sure, but the name of the wheel itself is Sniper. check out tirerack for these.

Tornaaado!

TLP · Feb 23, 2001

Monzas come 17X7" should be no probs, They also have correct offset! But I like your choices two of the three are at the top of my list! Rm 2000 and Monzas.

projectzx3 · Feb 23, 2001

dont wanna confuse the issue but the superleggaras are worth the difference. of course its easy ... me spending your money for ya! tornados if money is a factor.

Make sure when you go with Victoria you get an delivery date, because I pulled them up on the BBB website and they got bad ratings for that type of thing. I won't go with them again because they wouldn't let me exchange my tires for a bigger size. Tire Rack did it for me thou so I am happy but still stuck with two brand new tires. Just a little info. Oh I was going to get the Tornados also but wanted it in an 18". So I believe thats 4 votes on Tornado.

Make that 5 votes for Toranado

nazthug · Feb 23, 2001

hanumang · Feb 24, 2001

Monza

Rim2000

wheel, i guess the tornados will be it because they have the 7" width and not 7.5, and to be safe, i want the 7" cause im hella low, but i am getting the 45 series tire cause i hate that rubber band look. So close now, i can picture those on my car. TOtal on www.victoriatire.com came to $1260 for these with yokohoma paradas, shiping, handling, and TAZ..not too bad

i know you already ordered your rims but just so every one knows 17x7.5 will fit check out the pics...

monza.
White would be nice with a different colour cap instead of gold.

FocusZTec · Feb 25, 2001

tuned focus a nice drop will make those look great!!.. which brings me to another question anyone have pics of focuses dropped 2.5 inches and greater but still driveable?

tuned_focus · Feb 25, 2001

focusztec...the car has the H&R springs which gave me 2" all the way around...still very streetable

arskiker · Feb 25, 2001

I guess the St200 didnt work for you?

focusr2000 · Feb 25, 2001

i like the monza

nazthug · Feb 25, 2001

who wants to see a 2.5"+ drop, here is mine at 3" all around. I will raise the front a bit cause it hits the fender when compressing around a corner. but looks damn good

so how will the tornados look on my ride???

GR1NCH · Feb 26, 2001

I just got the Monza's installed. They are white with a black centercap, and I love them! I think the white rims look great on a dark car, it makes them really stand out.

Btw, the reason I like the Monza's the most is the centercap. I think that it has a really nice clean looking install. My only fear is that some jackass will decide to grab them off my car.
