DA9 rims

[wkdteg]

so on my quest to find the perfect rim for my beloved da9, ive come across many many different designs that interest me.
just a couple of quick qs...
i know its a 4stud patter... but is it 4x100 or 4x114?
also... wat ofset should i b lookin at? i was told +42 is perfect?
cheers

i got 17/40/205's, hard tyre to find/buy apparently :\

4x100 +42 is fine. :)

so i shouldnt have any dramas puttin them on when i get em in the mail right?

[TRU32U]

yup 4x100 pcd
17 40's are easy to get... heaps my friends got em and no dramas finding them here in syd...
i got 205/55/16s for mine and dammn its more expensive then 17s!

LoL yeah im finding it a bit of a strugle 2 find a design that i like, thats in 4stud...
ahh well... no rush

To be honest I wouldn't even consider 17s on a da9. Get the lightest wheels that look half decent. I have 15s on mine and they look plenty big enough and they're a shit load lighter than 17s so I didn't have to make any sacrifices in perfromance.

True i have 16'' on mine looks pretty sweet. i was told by the insurane company as well that i can only go 2'' bigger than stock.

gumbs... i honestly get wat ya mean... but ive got 15s on mine atm... wayy too small... i considered 16s for a long time... but after the lip work that im gettin done... ill still have some space. light weight 17s seem like the perfect option for me.
izy-10.. yeah my car is way beyond insurance companies insuring me... 17s wont make any diff now.

i agree, 15's or 16s or max. i feel that with this type of car a larger wheel with lowered suspension is a way to hard ride. Unless your car does mainly freeway driving and shows, i wouldnt exceed those sizes.

i say lightweight 17s.. would be max size
but i definately feel the difference in steering and handling in heavy weight 17s.. sux !

Each to his own. Light weight 17s don't come cheap though, but admittedly they do look good, I hate the way my car goes down low enough without adding extra weight to the rolling stock.

yep light weight 17's ftw nothing else on da9's i just think anything smaller on the car looks funny

[SKREMN]

i had 17's then went to 16's what i currently got petter handeling also coz you got thicker tyres
but i'm thinking about going 18's if i ever change
i got 16's and its dumped they dont look too bad
