Normally, I would post a set of boobs to look at, but really I'd like your opinions on the Mille Miglia wheels from Tire Rack. They're $109 apiece, sized 17x7.

Well sometime between last night and today they removed that particular wheel from the available list. Suck.

Well the original link works now and I was right, I don't like them.I might be biased though for I have seen them in size 15 on a slammed ricer around town.

I still can't see the @#$% picture. :)

Are Mille Miglia wheels well made? I don't really know very much about them. Are they heavy?

I forget exactly. They took them off the damned website between last night and today. They're a clean, five spoke design with no extra fake rivets or anything.

I'm picking up my new 240 on Saturday. What other wheels would you guys recommend on a red s13 hatch?

Sounds like you're off to a good start. From what I see in the tirerack wholesale magazine, Mille Miglia, Sport Edition, and SSR all make some clean looking 5 and 6 spoke units.

There's always O.Z. "Crono Evolution" 17x7 wholesale price is...

YIKES! a secret.

5 lug swap first....then Mustang Cobra rims....of course. :D j/k

I would do the 5 lug swap before buying rims unless you're totally against it. If you can see the lugnuts on the wheel, 4 lugs just don't look right in my opinion.

As far as style on an S13, I really couldn't say, but always been partial to C2 style rims.

And....IMEO, you can't beat the look of a deep dish rim...forget about little 7" rims. They look too weak.

I like the Miglias, they kind of have a european (porsche, bmw) design to them... Looks pretty good on s13 fastbacks. For some reason, I think the S13 looks great with euro styling cues...Borbet (german) also make awesome wheels...

Sweet! I'll have to come up for that sometime. Do they run in the rain?

Wong, I agree totally. The Borbets are very nice, as are the BBS. I wish I could buy BBS forged. That would be killer. ;)

I don't know if they run in the rain, but alot of the tire rack test cars come out to play. Nick
