Where can you get deep dish wheels in Australia? Wheels like Sportmax, Borbet, Brock etc.
I've done a lot of searching and all the results come from German and US sites. Does anyone know any local sellers or distributors?

mmmmmmmmmm............nice bling wheels, good to see occasionally amongst the usual dank & boring black/blackish/black with a red circle that a lot of ppl favour these days
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

I like these Brock B1. They come in 4x100 PCD in sizes 17x8s or 16x8.5s. Or if your game 16x9 or 17x10.
Unfortunately, these TSW Cadwells do not
as well as these TSW Indy 500, which comes in sizes from 17x8s to 20x10s.
This is when I'm envious on Americans. They have sooo much access to different after market products.

Hammer, at the end of the day, the rule of thumb is ... the less offset, the more dish.
If you want deep dish, then you need to commit to getting a lower offset wheel and making them fit your car.
the cheapest dished wheels are without a doubt XXR/Sportmax, JDMyard stocks them, and now MX5 mania does too.
For concaved wheels, Superlites would be your best bet.
If your willing to fork out the dosh for Borbets, get a decent offset to get the maximum dish possible.

Thanks guys.
I'd be happy with a +25 offset on a 8" wide wheel (16" or 17" not fussed). My preference is not to lip the guard. I was told on an 8" wide/+25 offset you shouldn't have to (will most likely need wheel alignment with more camber).
What arey your experience?

Lip to the guard is roughly +15 on NA's and +10ish in NB's.
AB7 is running in the 20's mark, you should have a chat to him.
All you would need to really do is roll your guards, if your running a meaty tyre, and a little bit of camber (which is needed really anyway).

My bad, I meant roll the guards.
So it is roughly the same for not rolling the guard... "+15 on NA's and +10ish in NB's" on 8" width?
