Looking around for race looking wheels... Enkei PF01, Work emotion cr kai, 5zigen FN01R-C, ect
I'm looking for the lowest offset 1 peice wheel available. I can always get them powder coated bronze so it doesn't matter what the color is. I was pretty excited about work emo kai's, but I found that the 18x9.5 wheels I would get have the same concave on the +12 I wanted as the +20s...they just add a spacer essentially to the back of the hub to make the offset. Same with the PF01's, material added to the back of the hub for offset, but those are even worse, they are all flat face for PF01 no matter the offset. the emo's atleast get concave to a certain offset when they start just adding material for offset. The FN's are the best concave I've found so far, with a 17x10+12, with actual concave...but I'm not 100% sold on the looks of em, and I was wondering if anyone knew even lower offsets or more concave?
for reference, here is a pic of the 17x10+12 (ignore the park bench spoiler please. he eventually removed it, thank god)
and here is the concave of the emo's 18x9.5+12
I was also thinking work emo XD9, as those have lips instead of concave, but I'm not exactly sold, and I think a gnarly concave would look good.
I'd LOVE work emo cr kai in bronze, 18x10.5 -15 and 18x9.5 +0..... emagine the concave on those
only problem is, I doubt Work will even make custom sizes because those aren't forged or multi piece so custom specs would be really pricey for the mold or whatever that they'd have to make...
So yeah, the lowest offset, most concaved wheels with that race inspired look? I can go all the way to the specs stated up there: 18x10.5 -15 and 18x9.5 +0 those are actually the perfect specs for the biggest wheel that comfortably fits, with just a touch of camber to stay flush, virtually no poke. The joys of a wide body
I've been looking for a while now but I figured you guys would be good with suggesting some options
the work emo's are the best bet I've found so far, and at 400/wheel with red valve stem and decals, they are a good price too. I just wish the low +12 offset of the kai's where pure concave, and not just +38 with a bunch of material behind the hub. on their site they claim 9.5+38 is deep concave, and the 9.5+12 are also deep concave. I also read through on evolutionm.com that the 9.5 wide's are all the same "deep" concave, and the lower offsets just have material behind the hub, which is disappointing.
suggestions?
oh, and sorry, I write novels for posts. Always have, I just put too much thinking and explaining into everything
