Re: quick wheel question

If your car is not lowered then you should have no problems what so ever, i ran 17x7.5 rims on stock suspension with no rubbing for a while.  if you go 16, what width are the wheels?  even at 7.5, you may get just a little rubbing that a little trimming, or removing the splash shields will cure. 

  Beyond that, the choice is one only of personal preferance.  I think momo and borbet both make quality rims, that i've never heard anything bad about..... so i guess its whatever wheel creates a bigger puddle of drool when you look at them :)

Subject: quick wheel question

I've decided to get some new wheels but can't decide which.

I've narrowed it down to Momo Arrows or Borbet C.

Any experiences with these? or any recommendations?

 

Also what size wheel/tyre combination should I be looking for?

I was thinking 15s or 16s. No larger.

Also my car is not lowered yet but I hope to do this before the year is out.

Any info greatly appreciated
