What kind of wheels?

[kaball]

Hey guys I am a tad bit new here and would like your opinion on a new set of wheels. I have a set of 16" American Racing and would like to upgrade to either 17's or 18's. I have seen the calculations and the difference in speeds. I was debating at the moment between the new Enkei Ammodo's (they make one in 5x108) or the Enkei PF01's.

On another note if I did go with the PF01's are wobble bolts a good idea or should I stick with 5x108s?

I don't know what a wobble bolt is but just from the sound of it I wouldn't use it.

Wobble and wheel don't go together.

lol I know how you feel. I tried posting a link to it but it was waiting to get approved. It is basically a bolt that allows you to go one size bigger on bolt patterns. So for us it would allow us to go from 5x108 to 5x110. Its kind of like a washer on a longer bolt. My friend told me about them...then again he is a VW owner.

Wobble bolts are sketchy. If you want a different bolt pattern at a minimum get properly made adapters

ok so nix the wobble bolt idea and possibly the spacer/adapter. Any ideas on a nice set of wheels?

I saw your wheels in person on a rover and damn theyre hot.

Thanks Black

Kaball it all depends on what size/style you want. There are many options....Anything you want in particular

I would like something lighter. I have a midnight blue 02 V8, so no chrome or colors, Silver looks best but I am open for suggestions. Like I said before I have 16s on there now with a LOT of sidewall lol.

Jaguar has some nice OEM silver finish 18 and 19" options which are popular with members on here. I'd start there and see if you like any of those.
