Perfect VX wheels

[RabidPony]

Just saw these linked on another forum. Wish I'd seen them before I got the ones I have now. All three models on the site are awesome.

Hmmm; I can't say they make the perfect VX wheels, but they look well made. The style of the spokes with their outward bending curvatures remind me more of TRD (Toyota Racing Development) or Nissan OEM wheels and nothing like those that are found on Isuzu's. Personally, I think those wheels would look more at home and compliment a Toyota or Nissan and not an Isuzu. Just my 2-cents.

Do you see a price(s)?

Do you see a price(s)?

Nope...

However, I do see something that makes me go...

Diameter: 16"
Width: 8"
Bolt pattern (PCD): 6x139.7mm
Offset: 0mm
Backspacing: 4.5"

Their measurements don't add up.
In my world, an 8" rim width, with 4" backspacing = 0 offset...

Matte Black PRICE $700 Picked up (Riverside CA) / $775 Shipped FOR EACH SET
Anodized Bronze PRICE $700 Picked up (Riverside CA)/ $775 Shipped FOR EACH SET


I was planning on ordering these for my vx in bronze but the wait time was about 2-3 month with a small deposit and he needed about 5 people in the group buy before the process started moving. I decided on buying another set of wheels in the long run. I love these wheels though remind me of the volk te37

Sorry Dubster, but check the polarity of your batteries in your calculator. An 8" rim width, with 4.0" backspacing = Negative Twelve (-12) Offset. The posted measurements of the wheels are correct as stated; an 8" rim width, with 4.5" backspacing = Zero (0) Offset.

See "Offset Chart" in the link below:

Well...if you say so, but take this from the link that you posted

"Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel."

Then YOU crunch the numbers.

Last I checked, 1/2 of 8 = 4.

Should not an 8" rim with zero offset have 4" backspacing...

Then go back & give that chart another look...

No offense to anyone with a 99', but the best wheel for a VX is the stock 18's on the 00-01's.

the BS is measured to the outside of the rim, not the lip from what I can tell from the sites I have been looking at, not that I am saying that I understand it.

That would explain the discrepancy...

[Mile High VX]

That would explain the discrepancy...

And the BS...hahahahahahaha

[Ldub]

And the BS...hahahahahahaha

Yep-yep...my mistake.

Backspacing IS measured all the way to the inner edge, I whiffed that one...

Sorry Riff, you were right.

No harm; no foal, Dubster. I'm glad you are part of our VX family, and your many "links" you provide to others has always been a time-saving asset to our VX community in search of answers. Thanx for your continued hard work and devotion. Cheers!!!
