Help finding wheels!

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying some new wheels for my Wagon, and seeing as Ebay looks to be the cheapest place, I'm looking there. One problem though, there is about 15,000 wheel sets to look at and I'm having trouble deciding on what style and size I want. If you guys would post up some pics of your Wagons with aftermarket wheels it would be great!

I have looked through the Member's Rides forum, and alot of the pictures don't list rim size, and most the pics won't work anymore.

Also, if you would, list the wheel size and offset.

Does the Wagon have to have a +45 offset?

THANKS!!!!!!

    We need more information. Choosing new wheels isn't just about how it looks.

    1. Budget (Don't forget tires). I can show you a wagon with Volks on it but if you can't afford it...a waste of time/space.

    2. Needs/Expectations. Any special requirements e.g. long commutes, all weather ice/snow, poorly maintained/rough local roads, weekend autox/strip/track duty etc.

    3. Desires. Describe your motivation for new wheels. Are you into the bling or zing?

    And my advice to you is look for a reputable brand/quality. Cheap wheels from China are a baddd idea.

    Well it's really not about the the style and such, I just want to figure out what size I like. I can figure out what tires I need etc. I know I don't like the 5 spoke wheels, or anything over an 18, (it looks wierd with the tiny rotors and such). I think I found a set of 15" KMCs that I like, but then I look at other bigger ones, and I like those too.

    There wasn't enough of a selection on the member's rides section for you?? There should be enough for you to look at on the member's rides sections for you to get a feel for what size you will like. I think the 15's are a little small unless you get some thicker ones, the 6's are a little thin for my taste (I have on my car right now 15 x6 BBS), 17's for the little wagon I think are a little big but NJ's wagons look good with the 17's. Akiraboy just posted some new pics of his Blitz rims and they look just about right for our cars (I believe they are 16's). Personal preference is what it comes down to though. I have 15, 16, 17, and 18 for my Nissan S13 and they all look good with the right width rim and the right tire.

    try edgeracing.com. that's where i got mine from. you can buy bundles from them and the tires are great too. sizes range from 15 to 19, so you have a large selection to choose from.

    4x100 PCD, +45 offset.
    I'm going for a 16x7" rim fitted with 215/40/16's, this gives me roughly stock rotational diametre therefore torque wont suffer too much. The width is kept at 215 because much bigger would cause severe tramlining.

    Again it all depends on what you want, but the size mentioned above will be suitable for anything except mud/gravel/snow.
