Default Rant about wheels!

Does anyone else have this issue at all!

I've been searching lots of vendors for new wheels and it seems to me there arent many options for 5x108! It's doing my head in! I know If you look through Ebay you'll find something, however the majority of them look utter poo.

At the rate I'm thinking of doing a hub conversion to 5x114.3 or 5x120.

Driftworks has 2300+ options in 5*108. Its an incredibly common PCD and there are absolutely no issues in finding options for it.

The brands covering it include heavyweights like BBS, 3SDM, Work, and Rota.

Try harder

https://sizemywheels.com/lz-pcd/5-108 (for other cars that use the same size)


https://www.bbwheelsonline.com/5x108...eels-rims-car/


And that's just for starters!

Don't forget to check that the offset is correct.

I’d been looking at Bola B12s potentially. They do the right pod, but not sure my current tyres would fit. May just end up getting my Thor’s refurbished.

I'm not a fan of bola at all.

The wheels I want are the rota gtrs. But I've decided to swap my hubs over to 5x114

As then I can get my desired size and fitment. 17x9 et25

That’s plenty of rubber. What wheels are on your car currently? Comets?
