Buying a set of wheels for your project can be the biggest decision you’ll ever make because nothing impacts your ride like a good set of rims. But rims come in all shapes and sizes. How do you figure out what will look right — and not rub? We recently found a pair of websites […]

These wheels are the Japanese equivalent of the Torq-Thrust D wheel. But they’re not all about style. Spoon’s offerings are about performance. Here’s why: First, they’re one-piece forged from aluminum and weigh in at just under 8-1/2 pounds (for the 15”) – and just under 12 pounds for the 16”. Lighter wheels = less unsprung weight = faster acceleration […]

If you’re too lazy to break out your welder and build one yourself, Tire Rack now sells a rack perfect for storing your off-season or track wheels and tires when you’re not using ‘em. It features of a backing plate that attaches to your wall studs at whatever height works for you, then the rack […]

Cragar SS wheels are the latest thing or cutting edge technology. But they are full of raw cool factor. We’ve seen these wheels bolted up to everything from ‘32 Fords to ‘82 Vettes — and in each case the ride looks better for it.

As if you didn’t already have enough rim options, Konig’s Hot Swaps open a whole new level of choices. They’re five-spoke wheeks with inserts bolted onto each spoke via a socket-head cap screw located near the hub. You can change your ride’s appearance in ten minutes — without spending cash — by swapping in any of […]

Comparing MB Motoring wheels to Giovanni is like comparing the Sears fall collection to Gucci. But try getting Discount Tire to throw a pair of those uber-buck specials on your ride without a waiting list or a small personal loan. Unh uh. Not gonna happen.
Add to that the fact that MB’s rims look good — […]

If you’re doing serious rock crawling or other off-roading, you’ll eventually end up lowering the air pressure in your tires to get better traction on the rocks – since airing ‘em down also increases the tire’s contact patch. Beadlocks help make sure that your tire stays securely mounted on your rim with the lower air pressure […]

Slapping new shoes on the Z06 is a great way to give it a look more fitting its supercar performance, but not many rims match the uber-Vette’s insane stagger. My current fave: O-Z’s Boticelli IIIs. They feature real Italian-made three-piece forged centers bolted to spun rims, and their techno-sport look fits right in with Chevy’s […]

These new-for-’07 Enkei WDM wheels show off what Enkei does best: looking good while going fast. They’re some of the latest wheels from Enkei’s performance line, and from what we can see from their gunmetal hotness they make the rest of the family proud.

Wheel fitment is one of those aspects of car customization that can be as much art as science. If you’re sticking with OEM wheels, chances are good that you can find something that fits. But what if you want to get something different? That’s when the pros call H&R. If you need to get that […]
