Help me choose new wheels!

Suppose I'll bump this one last time if anyone had subscriptions.

Continued the wheel/tire development in the build thread:

Deezler -

Thanks for reminding me. I just ordered the Kleen Wheels dust shield (1 pair). My Hawk HPS brake pads generate a lot of dust (but no squeek), so it will (hopefully) be a two-for-one benefit. I will get them installed on my next oil change.

Here they are :



They don't have that "crisp seal" that we want, so I don't think they will help very much for my wheels. However, for your "thin spoked" wheels, they might be more efficient.

I have a lot of dust with my Hawk HPS pads anyway, so they can still do what they were intended to.

Just throwing it out there.

Beautiful. Looks "big truck size" with those 6 lugs. What's the brand/make?

Centerline smoothies. Milled to order, so it comes in any lug size and offset. On any kind of car you'd probably have little to no lip on them.

Edit: centerline doesn't have custom cut wheels. Intro wheels have a smoothy wheel that's custom order and even has a hub cap to cover the lugs for ultra smoothness.

Dang. Those would look awesome. Couple guesses: 1) Not cheap, and 2) Not light.

Thanks for posting your dust shields cfg.

Deezler -

I just found these :

Wheel Accents - Polished Wheel Accents

Polished Wheel Accents are Laser-cut 20 gauge Stainless wheel discs that will hide those ugly brakes or simply accent your wheel windows with a mirror-like finish. No more Brake Dust! Fits 5 Lug Applications only.

It wouldn't work for my 4-lug wheel, but maybe there's a possibility for you, in addition to the bling factor.
