Ok, well i have come to the fact that i need new wheels.
i know what im looking for but everytime i see wheels online, they dont look right.

im looking for wheels for my 240 of course, but im looking for that deep dish look. a +38 offset for a 17x9. i want them flush and want them to be white.
i am having trouble finding some so i thought you could help me out some.

price is some what of a factor, i dont want to spend a butt load of $ on wheels.

if you can help me find some that would be cool

Thanks

Jay

 

I thought this wasn't an offset question. LOL! A 17 x 9 +38 will not have a deep dish. I would run something like 17 x 9 +5 in the rear and 17 x 9 +15 in the front. Should fit good with a fender roll. As for white wheels, they are not very common. Consider a different colour or buy the wheels you like and get them powder coated.

Yeah +38 is FAR from deep dish...I always start my search here or here *Shrug* You can always find some nice used ones and powder coat them like JVD said or get some rattle can. As long as you prep them and primer them correctly some rattle can paint should suffice...

 

ahh i see.. i thought that the +38 offset would just make them flush, i didnt know that was what determined the lip.
Thanks for the help woo hoo im going wheel shopping

 

+38 would just have them far out enough not to rub shocks, you would have some room between the fender most def. i would go ***** out and get 17x9 +10 to negative 10 or so and pull and roll all fenders, but thats just me. why not just go wider ie 10" front and rear pulled and rolled

 

well. i have just been shopping around and i cant find anything that looks right. they always look good on other peoples cars but when i see them online they just dont look right at all...

17x9 with +5 isnt a common size

 

these are my fav. white rims...

kinda pricey though...

oh and deep dish + white... good luck man, I don't remember seeing anything like that...

 

If you'll consider a nice 18" wheel check out rota journeys. They come in 18" x 9" and 0/5/15 offsets. If you don't like the colour get them powdercoated. I am not sure if they can do any sort of masking when powder coating(I'm thinking not) so you could get them in polished and then prep/prime/paint the spokes white yourself.

Good luck!

i couldn't seem to find them.. 4 lug? got a link?

 

i would say the best deal you can prolly get is the 5zigen typhoons 17 x 9 , 5 x 114.3 +15 offset for about 750$ comes in white with a machined deep dish lip

picture of a local car with those rims



im personally thinking about them...5 zigen has a good reputation too...
