d!ck Cepek rims

[03Chillinkoot]

Im thinking of getting a set of d!ck Cepek rims for my R50. 16x8. Anyone have these rims or heard of them? Feedback would be appreciated

Thanks

I've never heard of them. Judging from the picture though, I like them. They are one of the better looking rims I've seen.Choosing rims is so hard too. There are so many out there.If you don't mind me asking, where did you see them, and how much are they (CDN)?Thanks.

I actually really like those -- I'd just have to get over having "d!ck" written real big on my vehicle, four times over.

My brother actually found the rims, I don't know where he found them,but they have a site d!ck.com where i found out more about them. I got quoted $200 CDN per wheel at a 4x4 store near my house. but Im actually lookin at getting the black ones now.

koukiS14- I see where your coming from, I think I'll get over having d!ck embedded on the rims

Whoa I like the black d!ck

Does anyone think these rims will make the tires hit the strut mount? It's already very close as you can see in the pic. New rims are 16x8,4.03" backspacing, -12 offset.

Sweet rims dude, looks good! Good choice on the backspacing too!

thanks man, hey fueler, just wondering if your wheels rub with the wheel cranked.

thanks man, hey fueler, just wondering if your wheels rub with the wheel cranked.

245/70/16 used to only rub in reverse, with the steering wheel at full lock then i got 265/75/16 and they were so damn big that they would rub just driving straight down the street. I did a ****load of trimming, lost the front mudflaps, and they still rubbed when i hit dips hard. went back to 245-70-16 and no more rub, since i cut out a lot of the plastic. I mean they NEVER rub anymore.

But i have 4.5" backspacing and you only have 4" so the geometry is slightly different.

[fueler]

and as far as the tire / strut clearance - that never changes during driving so i'd give it at least a quarter inch clearance and you'll be fine. The only chance you have of rubbing it is if your tire flexes (if youve seen major flex, you will see that the tire flexes too) but with tires that small, you dont stand a chance of rubbing it. My 265/75/16 were about 2 millimeters away from the strut and they never rubbed.

[fueler]

and if it rubs, its rubbing on the front of the wheel well, towards the headlight of the car.

You can even take a heatgun and just modify the plastic to accommodate the tire.

[03Chillinkoot]

cool, ya i was just curious, cause mine where rubbing when the wheel was turned 360 degrees. So I had to trim the fascia back, only had to take off an inch. But they still hit the plastic in the wells. Ill give that heat gun a try in the wells. thanks man

no joke, good choice. that black/silver on black paint looks wicked good. my new excuse to kill downtime at work is logging on and seeing fuelers avatar :P

[KoukiS14]

done some thinking... the black / silver is great. Do that.
