Wheels

Hi and thanks to the replies from my last question.

I am considering getting HR Racing wheels in 16\" 7\" silver.
The style is HR125 and it is a 5 spoke.

What do people think about this style and the brand?

Any other suggestions that look similar???

Thanks,

Mike

If you post some pics might be able to help ;)

Yep, they're the wheels I meant. Has anyone heard anything about them?
They guy said I could have a set with tyres for $1390, or better for cash.

But since then I have decided that I'm not sure about them. I want something in 16\" (which is harder to find) and those spokes look fatter the smaller the wheel.

I'm looking for something the style of Racing Hart wheels, or even ROH (the ones that they put on the Porsche) but they all come in 17\" minimum.

Maybe I should get over my fear of 17\" wheels????

Starcorp Racing lite do a 16\" 5 spoke rim. Like the ones in my sig, although mine are 15\"...

Tempe Tyres in Sydney do them very reasonably priced.

And as Boags will tell you, they are light I also had a look at them before, and those Starcorp Racing Light's *are* very light. Something which may be important, if you are going for 16" or 17", the weight of an average-joe alloy wheel is quite significant.

What do you think of the following wheels???

They are ROH Adrenaline in 16\" (I think)

Tempe tyres can do a set of 16\" Starcorp wheels for $1000 without tyres.

Waiting to hear what you think of the ROH wheels from my previous post.

Thanks,

Mikey

Check the weight on the ROH's, as some can be heavy. MX5 Mania sell Starcorp 16x7's for $200 a piece and there's a set of used ones on ebay at the moment too.

RSGT's were about 10 to 20 bucks per wheel more expensive than the ones kitkat has pics of!

silver gold shadow and black colours

worth every cent but I am biased

I went black makes the dish look even bigger (and I didn't want to wait 1 month for a new shipment to come in)


Blaaaack hehehe!

The black RS-GT's on Lowmiata's car look awesome IMO!

I have a similar looking set of Rays wheels in 17\" on my car. They weigh 6.9kgs per rim which is quite light for a 17\" wheel. I don't have any pics on my car as yet (it desperately needs a clean) but I have a stock photo to give you an idea. They are grey with a silver lip...



This is the general type of wheel that I think looks best on an mx, but really wheels come down entirely to personal taste, so choose what you like!

[mikey mx5]

lowmiata - I love your wheels. That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

So what brand are they? GT? And what size do you have on your car? Do they come in 16\"? And how much are they?

I think the black would go well with my red car, what do you think?

If you see a set of G Games for sale reasonably priced then they would be the go!

5 spoke wheels look hot on an mx even the concept 5 rims
I originally wanted a set of mono block racing harts but were so hard to get!

I reckon the ones i got were the best bang for your buck as there are a lot of wheels on the market now!(especially if you want chrome!)

Brand I dunno they are from Ozzy tyres

they are called RS GT's

think they were around 200 a wheel

mine are 17's ( I wouldn't bother with 16's as the tyre you need to run is not as common as the one for the 17's)
hence 17's will be cheaper long term

to go with your red car either black or shadow chrome
shadow chrome would be my preferance!

FWIW when I actually bought the wheels I bought them through another tyre mob @ baulkam hills

they were cheaper than ozzy tyres!
Don't understand how but I wasn't questioning it!

lowmiata,

Loving the G-Games dude, they look HOT!

I've read from another thread a few weeks back that the Payless Tyres in Chatswood has done a 17\" set of G-Games with Yokohama rubber for about $1500 which is dirt cheap.

If Ive got the spare dosh Id be upgrading my TE37 replicas to the REAL Rays rims
