7" Wide Rims ?

[Teighto]

Does anybody run 7" wide rims

Just curious !!  as i having trouble finding wheels in a 17 that are 8" wide

[AtomicRex]

I have 8.5J rims  close to 8" and 17" too

Why do you want to know about 7" rims??

[Teighto]

Im just looking for Wheels and Most 17\'s come in a 7 !! so was gunna get a set of these but unsure what the handling is like !

i must bee looking on the wrong sites !!

what im actually  after is a 17x8 front and back

[probedb]

I think you should really be sticking with 8s, the stock wheels are 16x8.

But yep, UK wheels tend to be crap for widths etc.

Do a good selection of \'cheap\' wheels in proper widths and offsets. you can specifiy split widths (8 front 9 rear etc) too. Well respected company too

What sort of money are you looking to spend?  I can get you any new wheels for either £130 per wheel, or £300 per wheel depending on spec

Both 17" x 8.5J  Use for front and rear, if you go for anything less than an 8J you stand the chance of the tyre not beading correctly

Speak to my friends at Compomotive, they will do you a wheel in the size you want. Very good quality as well. Ran them on the old race car for years.  Not a good selection if you are after asthetics, but they are light and strong.

Do Compomotive still do split rims? they used to do some gorgeous phat wheels.
