    Which wheels?

    Please help me pick wheels? Debating whether keeping my Hartge type A wheels (16x7.5) or getting xxr wheels 527 or 530 (16x8.25).
    1. Hartge A



    2. XXR 527




    3. XXR 530

    The Hartge's look better than both of those XXR models. So does the XXR 521. But I'd still keep the Hartge stuff.

      The only way I'd run the XXRs is to fill in the multi lug holes.

        7.5" isn't too bad, maybe just space the Hartge's out a bit?

          Has anyone done this successfully? I've been curious about filling multi-lug holes.... I do like the 521.

            I am considering the 530's. My wheels are pretty bent up and will not clear my UUC kit. So it's time to get something bigger.

                      Did not want to make another tire thread so bumping this one. Planning on getting new tires on 16x7.5 Hartge Type A's.

                      What tire size you guys recommend? 205/50/16, 195/50/16, or 205/45/16?
                      As you can see, she's a little low.
                      Thanks!

                        Here are some sizes that Hartge recommended in their Hartge catalog.
