I'd like to find some wheels like these but i guess you can only get them over seas... this brand at least.
These are revolution rally wheels. I wonder if a rally themed Aveo would look cool? definately be different and thats what i want! :lol:
I definately don't want to go any bigger than 15", 14" is my preference, and 13"... well, them rims better be badass, then i'll consider it. haha
Anyone know of another company that makes rims like these? I really like the 4spoke look.
I also really like the look of these 2 Rota wheels. Auto-X and Speed 5.
how do you feel about used?

those aren't bad but he's wanting pickup only and he's in new york... i'm in arkansas. bummer
Those all definently look like some dubber-style wheels. For a while I had some chrome 13x10" spoked wheels on my jetta with stretched tires. :lol: It looked mean. They had the little wings on the center caps and everything. They are now retired to my shed where they sit.
those are OEM 4 spokes..
also try rota racer X, but i think they are too big for you. Although i would run them 5" lip is available....
axis.. i mean sorry.
I might be interested in those rim's PR...where you located again?
those rims above weren't mine. sorry.
i am selling my 16's though.
Ok NP.
I was thinking of some 14" alloy's for a set of mint tires I just scored.
I wanted to put them on some alloy rims and just run them in the summer time.

don't most VW wheels have lower offsets? I've always been scared of running wheels with offsets that are too low because of possible damage to the wheel bearings... at least thats the trouble I ran into with my Subaru.Quote:

offset is also relative to width. keep that in mind, i dont have exact specs on our stock wheels but the are like guessing here a 5.5? and 40mm offset? that means there is 109.85mm or @ 4 1/3" of backspacing, so a 7inch wide wheel can have as low as a +20mm offset and still have the same backspacing, meaning there is as much tire where OEM specified as the original wheel had.. It is when then wheels leave the area from under the wheels bearings, that cause them to fail. Like if you still had a 5.5 inch rim but went to a 0 offset, you would only have 2.75" under the bearing.
a vw has about a 35mm average offset. with a 6-7 inch rim. so the offset for the wheels size is correct and will not hurt your bearings.
I am running a 30mm offset 7.5 in wide wheel.
95% of the time that people think the offset of a wheel directly caused the failure, it is misinformation.
