TSW Freze 13"
ZEN - 12/11/08 at 04:23 PM

Found some nice wheels on discont (about 50GBP/piece) for my build.



They are 13", 5.5J, ET35. My BEC LOCO is going to run with sierra gear front and rear DeDion setup. Been reading the posts about offsets for locost wheels. As I undrestend the wheels in question would be apropriate for my build?

Asking for a second opinion

ET looks ok but width is bit narrow imo.

Forgot to mention I'm going for 185 tyres. Wich is right for 5.5J acording to Toyo's rim/tyre combination.

Tin hat please

Make sure you get pics of the 13"s before buying, they often dont look as good as the 15" or 17" versions they use to take photos of.

I was wondering that too.

Got 13" TSW's on mine, I think they look good. Have noticed though that the spokes stick out and will touch the kerb before the tyres do, so kerbing could cause some unsightly damage.

@LBMEFM

Got any pics? I wonder how they look on a 7.
