Where to buy wheels?

[Sid_RallyX_82]

Anyone know where I can buy some cheap steelies I can use for rally? Looking for 14x7 4x4.5, not sure about offset or center bore?

Diamond racing sells custom rolled steelies, any size any bolt pattern, keep in mind they are mild steel and are heavy

I would not buy from Diamond. Unless the guy who runs it got way more customer friendly.

He's kinda anal about the wheels being race only and not for the street. Says they are built like paper cups. lol Yeah, he literally said that to me.

He also responds when he feels like it, and then of course vice versa.

Summit has a brand of dirt track steelies that are nice and cheap, and they actually do customer service.

Bassett makes good wheels. 4x144.3 is the easiest bolt pattern to find the 14x7 bassetts in. Hop on the mod light forums, as those guys run that wheel size sometimes.

4 x 114.3 me thinks.

Haha, yeah. 114.3mm (4.5 inches)

60 degree is stock. A lot of dirt track steelies will be 45.

You gotta pay attention to that.

The circle racing brand from Summit are 60 and I think Bassett is too, but I'm not sure.

I bought 2 summit wheels and the offset was wrong. I will check the offset I think it was 0 but it didn't work with car.

If the Back spacing is 4"...

And the offset is 0"...

Where are each of these measurements taken?

[shorestiva]

Offset is mm from center line of wheel. Positive offset is toward outside of the wheel negative is toward the inside. Backspace is distance from inside edge of wheel to mounting surface.

Does anyone know the offset of the Bassett 14x7 D-Hole? http://www.bassettwheel.com/14x7_14x8_dhole.html
Also, any thoughts on whether I should run 6 or 7" off-road?

I'm looking for the site here for a while, can someone tell me the factory 12x4.5 offset?
I have steelies and saw a Vdub at junkyard with polished smoke gunmetal grey steels that I thought were tight.
Place locally to dip and paint my rims wants $70 each and I am wondering if I can just find some good lookin aluminum rims or something for the same$$$.
I just bought new tires a few months ago and I like the 12". wanna keep it stock looking.
THANKS!
