Is anyone running a really wide 15" wheel?



I know these Work Equip 01s are 15x7.5 which seems a bit wide … I'd guess a 15x7 would look pretty good.

I'm really diggin' this look. Is anyone sporting this wheel size (or similar)?

 

Man, I so wouldve gotten those wheels if I hadnt already bought my 16x7s. That is so the look I wanted....but just didnt know it. Im lookin for some nice 5 spoke 15x6s for my wifes xA to use with the stock tires.

 

in my opinion that looks ghetto. but ironiclly cool at the same time.

 

hey sushiboy that look is killer i want to get some wheels like that eventually but i will stick with my 19 for know al least till i run out of tire.

 

I will be getting some 15x7's in from Japan! I think it will look smashing!

 

It is definately a different look than the big rim/little sidewall look (which looks good, too IMHO).

The "deep dish" look (or at least smaller-diameter-but-wider look) seems to be popular with some of the European tuners (e.g. VW), too. I think it looks a bit more "racy."

Kinda like this …

 

I ran 15x7 Axis mag lites for about 2 months and I even ran them when I went to Sema, I used the stock tires on them, they have a great ride and a real cool look. I recently sold them cuz I am adding a body kit and got recently sponsored by a rim company and am currently running 19's. I'll probably pick up a set maybe 16x8, if I can find the right offset.

 

hey NILO did you ever take pics of your car on the maglites? Ive often considered getting the 17's for my xb but ive been uncertain how theyd look. If they are somewhere on here could you post a link? thanks in advance

 

cool, I'll if Adrian has a pic of themshould bust the 17" Maglites, I wanted to do it but i'm already running 3 different sets. You should do it cuz I don't think anybody has done it yet and I think they'd look dope p;us the wheels are super light and very easy on the engine. The 15' I had were only about 7 lbs each.

 

Does anyone make any 15x7 or 16x8 wheels that aren't super expensive? I know the WORK wheels go for like $330 a pop!

 

Hey what offsets do you guys think those wheels are? Or would be a good offset?

+35 maybe.

 

Someone on the board is selling a set of Work Euroline DH's in 15x6.5 for a really good price. They'd be on my xB by now if my S.O. didn't hate them so much ... but that's another story.

I'm looking at the Helo Ax in 15x7 now:

 

Dang, i REALLY like the way those 15's look with those tires! DAMN!

 

the offset on those work equips is most likly 0.

oh yea i have some WORK Euroline DH for sale

AXIS offers their maglites
at 15x7 size(thats the only 15" size)
its a nice size for track! 205/50 sized
tires fit nice and perfect.
when u put a 15x6.5 tire on there.. it feels
sloppy..

hit up ADRIAN(SCIONINLA)
he has the direct hookup for all axis stuff

 

Can you elaborate a bit on this? Is it the handling that feels sloppy? Do you mean 15x6.5 wheel?

 

i didnt know 15x6.5 was a tire size...hmmm.. gotta read more i guess..

anyways i have 205/50 series tires on my 15x6.5 and i dont have any problems..

you can even fit 195/50 on 15x8s.. its called stretch and i'm sure that handles good too

doesnt exactly matter how wide the tires are.. its the tires that matter..

 

maybe some aftermarket rims from the ae86 corolla will work. they run the same bolt pattern and people will flare the fenders out really far. the ae86 never runs large rims.

 

It doesn't really matter what size wheel you get as long as the offset is correct. Plus it's a matter of personal preference. IMO you just don't want a sunken in wheel... flush with a lip is good... but even no lip at times is sexxxy. If you're going to get a 1Xx7 wheel I'd suggest a 0 offset up front and maybe a -20-24mm or so in the rear (if they even have those in a 15x7)

 

what i meant to say is:
if u get a 6.5" width rim
and u run 205 series tires.
it feels like ___ compared to a 7" width
rim with a 205 series tire.

i have tried 6.5 and by 7.. theres a BIGASS
difference when u turn harder or what not.

lots of people run 205 series on a 6.5 rim.
but im just trying to tell u. it feels sloppy
if u compare the two.
