Looking for 18" 5-7 smooth spoke wheel.
What I mean is a wheel that has featureless spokes in which the face smoothly transitions from the center all the way to the face of the outer rim, just like Rota SDR's (pictured).
Unfortunately, SDRs do not come in 18". I have them in 17 now. The featureless (seemingly rectangular cross section) spokes and smooth transition make the wheel easy to clean and look bigger than wheels with spokes that cut in before the outer rim. Do you have any suggestions? I need them to be 5x100. That hard part is I want to ...if possible, stay under $250 per wheel.

well I was going to say Advans (they have a few nice styles like this)
but you said under 250 a wheels... I'd say search all the cheaper named Brand companies and see if you like anything. G-games, gramlights, enkei, a-tech, buddy club, 5zigen, etc. |

The P45f does not fit my description, but it is a wheel I find interesting. I was searching for pics before you mentioned it. I've seen every color exept the two that I am most insterested in Royal Steel Grey and Royal Gun Metal. New thread time.

MB 'Weapon' from Discount Tire... lots of folks have 'em... cheap, about 20lbs/wheel, -fairly- smooth spokes, though they don't transition to the lip.
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...8401&tc=MBMWEA Prodrive GC07 (which is what the Rota 'SDR' is a copy of), .. come in 18" sizes. http://www.prodrive.com/products_level2.html?id=30&p=12 Last edited by jamesohoh7; 03-04-2008 at 07:03 PM. |
