Why my car will never have a set of Niche Venice Black on it

[Redfox0099]

....Cause they won't clear my Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake kit on the front....



Damm, these look SO FREAKIN HOT....life is not fair sometimes


10.5" Rear, 8.5" Front 20" Rim

Just like most Men I could use another inch.....:doh:....these are not made in 22", I already asked

[MagnumRT05]

If you like the style, check out the Dropstars DS02. Same EXACT wheel.

[dumpster]

i feel for you.... sort of

[MagnumRT05]

See :)

But they arent black...hmm

[Redfox0099]

i feel for you.... sort of

sort of.....gee thanks, let me go put my head in the oven

[MagnumRT05]

Oven is not meant for your head yo. Its for headlights and goodies!

[TehKing]

Are they real multi-piece wheels?

Even if they are, those exposed rivets kill it for me.

Speak for yourself, Nathan... :mrgreen:

[36 chambers]

MAN THAT SUCKS!!!

Speak for yourself, Nathan... :mrgreen:

OK HORSE`MAN!!!!!!

[BobF's 6POINT1]

I can see the ad now "New wheels, Never mounted - CHEAP!"

[lowriderman3]

Wow! That has to be a sinking feeling! This is one of the downs of modding, BUT you have to love modding to understand. You take it on the chin(and wallet) and move on.

You can get your money back right? Since you never mounted a tire to them?

[Redfox0099]

I can see the ad now "New wheels, Never mounted - CHEAP!"



Oh I AM going to return them for the full money back....espically cause I was told by the company I bought them from they would fit.

[TWIST3D BLACK MAG]

So Sorry , Grasshoppa !

They do look great though <Rubbing a little salt into the Wound> !!!

[lowriderman3]

That is good to hear!

[Redfox0099]

...Yeah they look freakin hot....I forget how big my front calipers/rotors are cause the wheels cover them up so much.

[BigHemi06]

That sucks but atleast you are able to get your money back!

[MattRobertson]

Well at least you are getting your money back.

Check out this thread over at 3CF Nathan. Look at the R5's. A few pics down they have a black-painted version. You can order custom wheel widths. I asked for wheel weights, and the forged R5 in 22" weighs 24 lbs (!) and the 20" is about 21 lbs. Makes them the lightest wheels I know of.

Also their R55 is pretty close to what you had above once they coat it black.

[Trojan]

Nathan, That bites, I got the same BBK you do, Have you found any 17" that will fit the fronts? I just got my custom 17" rears with MT 315's DR's and now I need front 17" so I can get a full set of 17" road racing tires. This way Im set up for drag/road race on 17".

[Redfox0099]

Maybe these...the Sevas S-55:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/redfox0099/18.jpg

They do look like the ones I have:

[Trojan]

Id like to get the specs off one and have custom one made to match my new rears. Who's car is that?

[Redfox0099]

http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/sevas/s55.htm

[Trojan]

That wheel only comes in a 20" I need 17" that'll fit.

[TxSwimDad]

These looked even better in person. We tried to see what it would take to get them on over those calipers, but nothing short of surgery was going to work.

[Redfox0099]

yeah Skunk boy is right, just wouldn't fit

[dr damon]

i asked bones about those and he told me 20x10s on all 4 corners would fit. another site www.performanceplustire.com (http://www.performanceplustire.com) says the same thing.

[Redfox0099]

They will fit a STANDARD brake setup, I have the Brembo Big Brake kit on my front....I did not try the 20 x 10 rim but I dont see how it would fit on my car any better.

[Redfox0099]

Looking at this pic does anyone think the 20 X 10 would have a better chance of fitting???

[Redfox0099]

bump, any ideas

[300CSRT8]

Spacers is the only thing that comes to mind Nathan....I saw your car in the paint booth yesterday...But for some reason I did not see you - LOL

Are you going to make the ALL TEXAS M&G II ??

[Redfox0099]

I would need a one inch spacer....not gonna happen....I will be there if my car is ready.

[Super T]

What's the diameter on your rotors?? Stock Brembos are right around 14", right?

[Redfox0099]

15.5" rotors, 8 Piston Calipers


These wheels WILL and do fit a stock SRT-8...just not the Brembo Big Brake kit.

[dumpster]

I would need a one inch spacer....not gonna happen...

is that what the place that sold them to you said. i just cant see giving up all that $$ then its oh yeah you need to put spacers also.

i have got to say that those are some huge brakes :banana::pepper: and man do they look good

[FactoryD]

Just grind down your calipers Nathan! ;)

[Redfox0099]

NO I measured..

The place that sold them to me supposedly looked at my car since I pointed out the fact I had bigger brakes... apparently they didn't look hard enough.

[Redfox0099]

Just grind down your calipers Nathan! ;)


um, I know you are joking but I am not going to grind a 1/4" off a $7000 set of brakes...

I don't like these wheels THAT much.

[SHAGNWGN]

at 1" it would be an adapter..my srt8 is at the body shop...i didnt want my 22's on it while getting painted and such..it blew my mind i boguth some cheap 100 sxt wheels/tires...factory brembos fit fine in rear and the front i had to have a 1.200" adapter made to put these stocks on at the body shop..in socal theres quite a few rim repair places one down the street has a full machine shop been doing business for years whipped me out a set of alluminum adapters for the front of my car...its just a thought

[markus]

that looks SIIIIIICK! dub also has a wheel that looks pretty much identical to that

[dudeiwin86]

Hey Redfox. Look up the Dub Dirty Dog 5's im almost positive they come in 22's as well. as opposed to what most mentioned. these truly are almost identical wheels

http://adaptivestrategies.com/DUB-DirtyDog5.jpg


i like how the lugs on these are almsot part of the spokes rather than outside of them like the ones you showed. Ive been eyebaling these for a while ande just wish i could afford em ;(
