08 SE-V8 - The 20" Wheel Story <Saving U the Pain>

[nvrdun]

I kept the stock wheels and put them back on in the winter.

[Captain]

ok looking at maybe getting a set of 16" rims for my 08 SE

[Mister V]

I'm telling you, man, these Rota Grid Ofraoads are the sickest.



They come in hyperblack or sports bronze, and are quite affordable. I just can't decide whether I want 16s:




or 20s:

I was quoted 1100 shipped for 20 inch Grid Offroads in sports bronze by 18 Racing

Yup, same people I was dealing with about a month ago... hmmm... I'm like the 22s better anyway. But if they made the grid in a 22, then I might be selling the current wheels...

I've been reading these posts about the problems with wheel vibration when upgrading to aftermarked wheels. Now I think I have made a BIG mistake. Had a friend that sold his '05 Pathy and kept his set of 22" wheels and Toyo tires. The rims and tires are both like new so I purchased the set for $1000.

Here's where I may have goofed. After reading all the problems BirdBath08 went through I immediately start surfing the web for hub-centric rings. Bird did give the hub size for the Pathy but now I can't find any information on the centerbore of the wheel.

If anyone knows anything about the manufacturer of Alloy Tech model #AT950 22" wheels, I'd appreciate any info that you could provide. Preferably, contact information to the manufacturer but mostly the centerbore diameter of these wheels. I can have the hub rings custom made so that all I need for now

HELP!!!

Did the Pathfinder they were removed from have vibration issues? What makes you think you will have problems.

I have had 20"s on my 05 Path for 3 years without any vibration or hubcenteric rings.

Thanks for the info, I'm really doing my homework here. The guy I brought them from never mentioned any vibration problems so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

In any event, I won't gat a chance to try them out until spring. This set will be dedicated to spring and summer driving. I just want to have all the necessary info just in case. BTW: What type of 20's are you riding on?

Hopefully if the previous owner did not have any vibration you will be good to go. I also run my 20 during weather that does not include snow.

I have ASA wheels. They are made by BBS. Here is a pic.
