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?

I like these Brock B1. They come in 4x100 PCD in sizes 17x8s or 16x8.5s. Or if your game 16x9 or 17x10. :shock:

Image


Unfortunately, these TSW Cadwells do not :(
Image


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. :frown:

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?
