ESM Wheels

[Justin123560]

Has anyone have any experience with ESM wheels? I'm looking for that mesh wheel look so I found these http://esmwheels.com/access/wheels-0...cPath=21_34_62. Also 16x7.5 with a +20 offset requires fender rolling and camber also right? If you have pics with wheels with the same specs post a pic please. Thanks

I never heard of them before, but I read their "About Us" bit on the site, and they don't seem like a company that's pretending to be more than they really are. I would do some research on the quality of the wheels, what standards they meet, and where they are manufactured... but they look decent to me.

And yes, a wheel with that low of an offset is going to have clearance issues unless you roll the fenders and run negative camber. Remember that low offset also puts a good amount of strain on your wheel bearings, so you might want to replace those before running low-offset wheels... just to be safe.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. maybe these aren't worth it.

& what offset range should I stay in to avoid fender rolling and cambering ?

[i-07]

30 is a good offset to run so you would not have to roll them and wit those it run a 205/45r16 or 205/50r16

I called them and they said they had a couple of 4x114.3 in stock. I decided that for the price I don't think these wheels are for me
