I see many members on here running TL wheels. I applaud you for that as well. However I never see many other various OEM wheels from other cars. I know Adrian did Corvette Sawblades and maybe others did but why not branch out more?

I got the idea from browsing on VWVortex and those guys get pretty ballsy with wheel ideas. I see everything from Mercedes wheels to re-barreling a set of steelies. Yeah adapters may not be the most ideal thing but that shit can really add that extra flare to cars.

Here are a few things I have seen thus far. Feel free to give your opinion on OEM+ looks and maybe other wheel options.

I love to see a nice euro car sporting some 80's/90's Ferrari wheels and crazy things like that. Thing is it really depends on the car, it has to be able to pull it off. Like as sweet as the Merc 'turbine' wheels on that Jetta are...I personally don't think it pulls them off too well.

Reg has some Genesis wheels on his G37, looks awesome. I'd love to see a set of Infiniti M45 sport wheels on a 6GA sedan, TL, or similar.

Very true. Depending on what car it is depends on what type of wheels will "suit" it.

Maybe it's just me, but I think the wheels in the first picture would look amazing on a 6thgen sedan. They are Land/Range Rover wheels. I don't know the bolt pattern but I do know some Rovers came 5x114.3. . . . something to think about :ioc:

Euro guys run all types of wheels with adapters and all that good stuff. Id personally like to see more creative wheel options on an accord. Any wheel is an adapter or redrill away

i've thought about rebarrelling a set of steelies, and changing the colors whenever i get bored.


anyone know how much something like that would be??

Trust what I say. Buy some diamond racing steelies. Rebarrelled OEM steelies are very expensive to make. Diamond racing steelies are under 300 bucks for 4. No one really has Rebarrelled OEM Honda steelies like vws have availavle

Derek those wheels are schmidt wheels
