16x10 steels

[leightaylor]

Just wondering if any one knows any places that sells 5x114.3 10j wheels? i recently saw this pic and want in!


I know they will weigh a ton and will probbably be a pain on the front but i'm hooked on gerthy steelies!

The wheels are diamond racing customs in the pic, i have emailed them but no reply i'm guessing the shipping is going to be stupid due to the weight and that there based in america

I have also contacted weller and they just came back with what sounded like an automated reply which was no help.

had a quick search on dw and some one mentioned these wheels:

Am i being stupid or are those pcd sizes weird, 5/4.5" = 5/114,3? some one on dw said one of those sizes would fit?

Also thought about banding some steels but there arn't any good looking 5x114.3 steels about



any help appreciated

Cragars look similar. And yes 4.5" is 114.3mm. Here you go:

spray painting/powder coating is a wonderful thing

you seen the epic offsets on the 10J's.... some -32 iirc! lol

cheers for the help guys, diamond have got back to me and they are just under £600 shipped with a powdercoat finish, its plus £50 a wheel for them to be chrome. the annoying bit is the wheels cost £321 and the shipping with ups is £260 so the shipping is almost as much as the ****ing wheels!

do i bite the bullet or try the cougar wheels, but they don't look as if they have the 10" in 5x114.3?

as a bit of input to having wheels like that, and seeing as that image is of whats now my car lol, having 10s on the front isnt really a big deal. it does tramline a little but its not too bad. I have 6" or 7" steels on the front for winter and the responsiveness difference isnt huge. But lets be honest, you dont get 10" wheels for performance, you get it to look like a boss lol.

Good luck with the sourcing.

Ah right! Did you put the wheels on the car? I was thinking of trying to contact you from the status error blog. What offsets are they as I know there staggered and what's the steering like on full lock? Yeah well my car is a skidder so im not that fussed on the weight. They do look good and your car is one of only 2 sbodies I have seen on the net with those wheels so it's something different from the norm.

Unforunately i cant take the credit for the wheels. They are 0 front and -12 rear on offset. Lock is fine, no rubbing. And yeah ive drifted on them with no problems at all.

The crags would look pretty good fitted to a 14. Price isnt bad also.

Ah right, thanks for the help! Love the s14 by the way.

To be honest they Arnt to far of the diamond racing wheels and I doesn't look like they have 10"

Hells yeah.

Could give these a call. They've got 16 x 10 in other PCDs so may just be out of stock at the moment.

I thought Raceways stopped doing the wheels a couple of years ago.

Personally I think Steels are great if they're cheap. £800 could get you some really nice second hand alloys though.
