4s winter rims

Post by Optionman1 » Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:37 am

Bit the bullet and bought hard to find 10x18 47et winter rims for my 03 4s. Found one used OEM, paid to have it refurbished and bought a new after market “made in italy” as shown below:

That looks pretty good. What tires are you going with?

One more question where did you find the aftermarket made in Italy wheel? Both of my rears have been previously repaired plus a ton of inside flange scrapping because the idiot previous owner ran it through the pull through type car washes! A person would think that common knowledge would be don't do that with 11" wide wheels, but I guess not.

Yeah, 265s on 11s would be a little sketchy. I’ve got 275s on 10s, and they look good and perform well.

I found the website. It is mrfiat.com. Unfortunately he does not list 11x18 Tubro Twist replicas. :(
