Help Me Choose Wheels For The Cube

[Iron Chef]

Ok, having been d1cked around by the importer of the wheels I'd originally picked, and having already bought a supercharger kit and factory optional overfenders for it, I've reached another roadblock with wheels. Let me start by saying wheels in the sizes I want are very very difficult to find, so options are fairly limited. Let me know what you think...

Choice one - Panasport F1

Pros: Panasport are extremely high quality wheels, and the Watanabe/Superlite style is always a winner on a Cube, 17x8s

Cons: Maybe a bit plain and safe choice for the car?

Choice two - Work Meister

Pros: They're Work Meisters, 'nuff said. White rims always look tough on a black car.

Cons: Only 17x7 but offset is still pretty good, maybe brakes will look too small with an open-spoke wheel

Choice three - SSR Mesh

Pros: Old school styles, but 17x7 makes them decent diameter too, if not width

Cons: Whether they'd suit the car hmmm, would need to be slammed to look good I reckon

Choice four - Work Euroline/VIP style

(Yes I know these aren't Euroline, but you get the idea)

Pros: Would look pretty gangster given that the car is black

Cons: Wouldn't work so well with the overfenders or the supercharger in my opinion...

If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

dont know what colour your car is but i could see these working on a white one

[Damo_R34]

CST Hyper Zero, or something with concave spokes in a low offset? The panasports would look classy tho...

or some deep dish watanabe ssr's?

[J - Rad]

CST!

These were my very first choice, but having seen a few Cubes with 15s on since then, smaller diameters get lost in the huge wheelarches, and you'd need it about 30mm off the ground to make it look decent...

CSTs don't float my boat sorry...

Regarding offset, factory rims are 15x5.5 +48 or thereabouts, so for obvious reasons going below about +20 is gonna be risky, even with the overfenders. Kinda limits the dish factor.

Imho the panasports would look the best on the cube... I like that style in general (really hate #4 lol)

i think the best way to answer this question is to fill this thread with modded cubes!!! (or similar)

Interesting Cronic.

My vote is the meisters, coz meisters make near on anything look f**king fabulous.

[writeoff]

If those 4 are the only wheels you are considering then I would rank them like this:

Panasport F1

Work Meisters

---------------------------

Work Euroline/VIP style

---------------------------

SSR Mesh

[alr33x]

the panasports look shit house, too race style which the car isnt.

out of the 4 it would be miesters or meshies but whats the overall style your going for?

[CRoNic...]

Lol Damo I was going to write something but then realized it had already been said.

P.S. nice Pube, Chef.

I agree.

The pics don't do them any favours but they're like a Watanabe-style rim - here's some 17s (but narrower than the ones I'm looking at) on a Jazz

If I hadn't already gone with [RUBIK] for a number plate, that nearly would've got a gong....

[Nightcrawler]

I really like the CE28N looking rims in the middle of the last set on Mukyboy's pics (the maroon car) .... or the Meisters - (possibly get them mirror polished all over) - would look tuff on a black Cube!

[CRoNic...]

Love the plates. Very creative, sir.

[Iron Chef]

lol cheers.

Looks like the Meisters are nudging ahead of Panasport...
