WHEEL GUIDE

2015 WHEEL BUYERS GUIDE A wise man once said even a wheelbarrow will look cool on 17s, a statement that certainly rings true. But that was back when wheels only came in two offsets, and having 18s made you a dead-cert street king. These days the wheel market is absolutely teeming with options for your ride, but with so many wheels in so man variants to choose from, picking your perfect combo from the seemingly endless possibilities that it can make your head spin. Style, fitment and application all come into play when deciding on what wheels to purchase for your car, so choose wisely, as wheels are one of the biggest decisions you will face in the course of your build. To make it as easy as possible, we teamed up with New Zealand’s top wheel suppliers to showcase the best of the best offerings for 2015 to suit any budget or taste. The only question is, what set will you choose?

READING OFFSETS

There are two different methods for measuring wheel offset, the back-space method and the centre-line method, which is the most common. This takes a measurement from the wheel’s true centre line to the hub mounting face, giving you either a negative or positive measurement. If you’re lucky there will be a set of stampings on the inside of the wheels indicating the PCD (explained below) and the offset. The offset with be a number accompanied by either ET, P or just the measurement (as shown) to indicate a positive offset. Alternatively, a negative offset is shown by -ET, N or (-). These markings are common on one-piece wheels, but on two- or three-piece wheels you will likely have to measure it yourself.

WHAT IS PCD:

The PCD (pitch circle diameter) of a wheel refers to the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centre of the stud holes on the mounting face of the wheel. If the wheel has an even number of bolt holes, in other words it’s a four-, sixor eight-stud, you simply measure between two opposing holes. If the wheel is a five-stud there are two ways to calculate this. Either you simply draw an imaginary circle through the centres of the five bolt-holes, and measure the diameter, or you measure the distance between two neighbouring holes and multiply by 1.701. As an example, 5x114.3 would indicate the wheel is a five-stud with a PCD of 114.3m m.

The two- and three-piece wheels can be configured to suit any modified vehicles that require a fitment outside of the ordinary.

QUESTIONS DTM What has been your most popular wheel for 2015? Niche Verona, hands down! It’s a great-looking wheel, guys are running them on a range of vehicles and they take on a different look every time. We’re also expecting big things from the Fuel Beast for the second half of the year — more fitments will be available later in the year, it’ll go big!

What are three things a customer should consider when purchasing new wheels? Function — are you looking for a true performance wheel, an everyday wheel for the daily runabout car, or a wheel you want the ladies/lads to notice? Be honest. Money — you get what you pay for, right? If you’re investing in shoes for your car, research brands,

check the quality and know that the more you pay, the more likely you are to get a great-quality product that will perform and last. And if you’re spending all your hard-earned cash on tricking up your car, don’t kill it with cheap shoes.

DTM.CO.NZ What do you think sets your wheels apart from the competition? Definitely our full stable of brands — we’re lucky that we get to showcase some of the best brands from around the globe. At the moment, the American brands are really setting the pace in terms of design, production, and amazing paint finishes. They’re lifting the design and production of wheels to an art

form. True wheel ‘brands’ are really differentiating themselves with design, and that’s what attracts us as customers — we want to buy into that brand story. More and more customers tell us it’s the design that really sells wheels.

What are three things a customer should consider when purchasing new wheels? 1) Finding the balance that suits you: affordability, style, suitability (offset/width/finish) and performance (wheel weight and wheel balancing, etc.). 2) Look for a quality manufacturer, one that has stood the test of time. Rota has been producing wheels for over 30 years, and is an OEM

manufacturer as well, supplying factory wheels to Toyota, Mitsubishi, and many more. Both Kudos Wheels and Rotiform are produced by OEM– approved manufacturers, too. 3) Buy from a reputable retailer. Have peace of mind that when you spend your hard-earned money, the store is prepared to support you with both pre- and post-sale service.
