well obviously you dont visit US sites enough.

why buy the same rims like everyone else out there ?I visit them enough for my own needs. I don't feel that there's a certain quota I need to meet.

Steelies are the ugly wheels you get on budget rides, to be replaced by aftermarket wheels as soon as possible. That's how I've always viewed steelies, so in a way I see this as a counter-culture against that established tradition, a sort of punk statement. Sprayed black, they actually look alright, so it'll be good to see what they look like on your car.

Steelies aren't really a performance oriented wheel. More a show thing lol.

A guy on secret drift is doing steelies and I think a 16x10 steelie weighs like 10-12kg I think without a tyre lol

15-10-2011, 04:05 PM
195 would get much stretch, im currently running 195 45 on my sport max. not much stretch. as lukey said. try 185 if u can find it

Indie
15-10-2011, 05:09 PM
Honestly, I wish my car had come with the stock steelies instead of what the previous owner put on them.

Picture the cheapest looking racing-style wheel you can imagine, grey, 14", gutter rash everywhere, no centre caps, and worst of all, yellow stickers which say "F-1 Rally Wheel" twice on every wheel.

I'd take black steelies any day...

NightKids

Hmm... that doesn't look as good as it does on say a S13 or NA MX5.

It'll be cool because it's different... but I dunno... Honda's just aren't... ghetto?

Maybe if that Civic was a bit more rough around the edges (Read: Drift pig) it would look better.

soo the problems never end... dropped off the wheels at Mr powdercoat in williamstown thursday just before they shut, saying would be ready in 5 days due to having to send them away to get sand blastered.. receieve a phone call at 2 today saying there ready :S not sure how thats 5 days , so went down there and had a look.
well they brang them out,, had a look at them everything was fine untill i turned them around and had noticed black dot on each one size of a 50 cent coin, asked the guy "whats this" his like ohhh mateee there held from there, although they were held from one stud hole on each wheel (you can notice just abit of paint missing) :S. he started speaking all this crap, so he ended up "touching them up" still wasnt happy at all to give him $75 a wheel.
looks like he used normal paint to paint them and just used undercoat,, thats why it probably took him not even a day to finish them,, getting the feeling they didnt even get sand blastered...

well theres a photo of the final outcome

still pretty decent after all that

Just found this thread and been having a read through. That stinks what is happening to you. Unfortunately this sort of thing is as old as the motor industry itself(and one of the reasons I became a DIY'er 50+ years ago). Hope you get a satisfactory outcome. If not, threaten to make a complaint with fair trading, and do so if they stuff you about. And yes, I wouldn't trust them to put it right.

What I originally was going to say when while I was reading through is it's funny how old things become new. What you are doing is an old trick first invented in the U.S. by the early hotrodders, way,way before wide rims and tyres were even heard of (maybe dreamed of) to give their cars (usually the fat fendered late 1930's-40's models) a wider stance. The method used was to remove the centre and reverse it in the rim (because on all +0 offset steel rims the well in the rim where the centre attaches to is offcentre, biased toward the outside edge). Widening of the rim itself didn't really happen until Radial or wide oval crossply tyres became available.

I used to make my own back in the 70's (mags were way to expensive) by getting them cut on a lathe and welding in a strip. I tried painting the first ones I made, black, and quickly repainted them white 'cause they didn't even look any different to stock steelies, and my view on wide rims (steel or alloy) is, if you're gonna have fancy wheels, why in god's name would you want to hide them!

Here is an example of this reversed (and widened) rim method used on a Honda

tyre choice, going a 195/50 and most likely go for re002 tyres
got quoted 140 each tyre fitted and balanced :)

02-11-2011, 08:22 PM
What was their price delivered? Personally I prefer 205/50's on that width rim, not quite so stretched.

Lukey
02-11-2011, 08:32 PM
195/50 is barely a stretch lol

195 is all the stretch i need :)

hondapop
03-11-2011, 08:54 AM
One of the guys on one of my other forums' got the 195's on his 8" rims so he can get them under the guards on his Gen2 CRX but I just like the bit of extra rim protection with the wider tyre. But then that can vary quite a bit depending on the tyre manufacturer. I've seen some quite large differences in actual tread/casing width between makes in the same size/profile.

It's no good criticizing croanth for not pursuing the matter, because unless there was a written quote and a written acceptance, legally it's your word against their's (and that's how they conduct business and laugh all the way to the bank) and all you're gonna do is throw more money at it lawyerwise, then HE'LL laugh all the way to the bank too.

The only thing you can do OP is tell us their name, (just their name in a post, no other comment) and we'll know to avoid them.

apparently he did get them sand blastered and powder coated in less then a day, meanwhile he said it would take couple days..
soo apparently the black underneath the wheels was the undercoat, although i still see my runs, which he claims that the powder coat made the runs :S soo hmmm
its my words against his ! although he was full of S#it, i honestly have no time for his B#lls#it ! i work 6 days a week and barely have time for my own self, so guys see where im coming from.

no point in taking it to court or anything like that, i learnt the hard way.
i could of done many things while i was at his shop, but why honestly :S

I used to polish bullbars for a living about 2 yrs ago ,i worked there for just over 6 yrs.When we got the sheel bullbars powdercoated if the finished product was not up to standard like runs,spots etc we would not take it and they would have to redo it.Your paying them for a job,if its shit dont pay for.If you had a mechanic they did a shit job on your car and wouldn't take it back.I feel for you as it would be wasting my time & money.

You can get excessive powder yes, but it won't make lines such as runs like painting with liquid.

I was sceptical beforehand but I must say, now that I've actually seen them on the car, I know for certain that I don't like them.

Something different though, I guess. Enjoy!

I like'em, but then I'm a steelie fan. Paint'em black and you won't even know you've got wides on there, trust me I know. Old fashioned as well but a nice set of chrome trim rings would set them off.

And if you do paint yours black, it will be hard to tell that they're any different to those.

Hang on a sec, maybe they are wide steelies as well.

What is it with this trend to make your car look as plain and boring a possible.

Like most trends they seem to start in the US. (not surprising really). I was actually supporting your choice. The strange thing is the white car actually looks worse than the black one. Maybe it would look better if it had red or blue or pink, purple spotted tyres. But black tyres and black wheels, why bother, but then is that the purpose, to make it look like it's floating in the air.

For me, when someone asks "what wheels do you drive ?", I like to think that the actual wheels are included. Black on black,,,,,,Yuck.

hondapop
19-12-2011, 08:00 PM
Oh Gord !, I just had a horrible thought. Maybe the next trend in the US will be to bring back wheel "spats" (covers that almost totally obliterate the wheels). One now defunct manufacturer went as far as to cover the front wheels as well. Meant that the body overhung them so much to allow some steering movement (there wasn't much)that they were the most bloated bodies ever built.
