Wheel choice

[KylaRayKBFiST]

Hey guys! Been looking for a while, even before picking up my car at what wheels to pick up. Love Sparco Terra's, but impossible to find, the OZ 45th Anniversary wheels are pretty neat too. I also was looking at some Braid wheels last night, anyone running those on here?

Looking for a rally inspired wheel - any suggestions?

Braid makes good wheels, but wheels are a very subjective choice, stylistically. I didn't see a wheel or tire size preference or if you're solely going for the rally look or actually going rally racing. Application is important. I had a set of Sparco Terra's on my Abarth 500 as winter wheels and they were solid as a tank. Tire Rack has them in-stock for the FiST in 4x108 16x7, so I wouldn't say they're impossible to find.


IMO it's also important to choose a wheel that has JWL, VIA, and/or TUV certification. That means the wheel has undergone some sort of engineering check with its design and manufacturing.
