This weekend I Bought a Thing, but it needs new wheels. I’ve decided on 15"x8", and the bolt pattern has to be 5x114.3mm. I’ve got no idea where to start looking for good ones, please post your favorite wheels! I’ll post the Thing a little later this week once I have good pictures...

Volk TE37s, but it seems like that particular combo has been discontinued.

What sizes are available? I could maybe go 16x8, 17x8 might be a bit much for the Thing I bought though.

Centerlines are the only way to go for a Thing.

I know they’re a little juvenile, and a lot of people won’t “get” it, but I really want to put a set of Turbomacs on my Focus ST.

I really want a set of Sparco Assetto Garas for my car.

I think the biggest 15" is 15x7. They do 16x8 though

Looks like most of the combos that would fit have been discontinued, I do like the style though.

I wish the “Thing” I bought was that stylish, but alas, it’s a whole different kind of vehicle. I’ll post the details to Oppo soon.

I want TE37s. And they come in the 4Runner bolt pattern.

The wheels are from a W220 S65. They’re impossible to find used and exorbitantly expensive new. I need them in my life.

I’ll make a big post about it soon, still sorting out a few issues though. The wheel size and bolt pattern is a hint... :P

I sorely wish I could put AMG wheels on the Thing I Bought, but the bolt pattern doesn’t match up. I’d literally take the 18s off my C-Class and put them on the Thing, but they’d definitely be too big.

Well then it’s just a thing, not a Thing.
Still whatever thing is it, it needs centerlines.

Good call. I capitalized it as if it were a post title, but I forgot that the Thing was a thing and thus called my thing a Thing.

plain steel wheels, white preferably, in about a 10 or 12 wide for the rear. poverty spec, no rings or caps. white letter tires. also like to run narrow shiny centerlines or weld drag lites up front( only on the front)
will settle for rallye wheels when i cant find anything else.
draglites for fronts........or centerlines.........

I recognize those from cars I’ve seen, definitely like the clean style. Also seems like a reasonable price too.

Schmidt TH-line is my favorite wheel model. They look good under various things. If I could afford all of my cars would only have these. Currently none of them has.
This Golf is actually wearing them in 15x8" size.

The Monoblocks on my S600 are the same bolt pattern as the S65 wheels, but I just can’t justify spending $8000 on a new set of wheels when I could put a pretty mean tune on it for the same price.

Probably 3 years ago and well before I even considered buying my Mini there was a Chili Red R53 with white roof and stripes on a set of white Assetto Garas for sale near my house. It looked perfect and I would love to get a set of black Garas for mine.
