    What Wheels are these?

    Anyone know what wheels these are, its tough to tell becuase its so dark. At first I thought they were just sportmaxx 002s but those have 8 spokes and these appear to only have 6.

    Then I thought maybe it was the Konig B.Bombs but those are only available in 15" and these look bigger than that.






    Thanks.

    You were close. Sportmaxx (XXR) 501's.

        Oh, for a second I liked them. They look good on that car, thought they may be a decent wheel. Damn multi-lug too.

        thanks

          www.eurostopusa.com has very similar wheels, but they are not multi-lug and only slightly more expensive.

            I actually like them, multilug or not. They're inexpensive, wide, have the correct offset and look fairly period correct, especially in silver. R3V haters be damned, the odds of you seeing another set anywhere on the street is almost nil. Run whatcha like, not what an internet forum says you should.

              I don't see this same wheel on Eurostop, have a link to it directly.

              May be looking into this.

                No, sorry they don't have the 501's on their site. Just lots of similar "SportMax" styles and BBS reps and such. Though it might be worth asking them about. They seem to make a handful of popular wheels for cheap, and that aren't multi-lug.

                  Yup. 501s are cheap, easy, and readily available which makes them perfect daily's.

                      Yeah, they look great. Just wondering what would work on diamond schwarz.
