What's wrong with being a stancetard?

Didn't mean to insinuate that it was bad, just that it's advantageous to OP in this case.

Fair enough. I'm actually not what I would consider a stancetard. My car is very much still drivable/trackable... just so happens that the wheels I'm running are a bit aggressive. Definitely not 0 offset aggressive but I'd say semi-flush aggressive lol. And I'll just leave this here

In reply to e46potenza:

I'm just looking for wheels I haven't seen on a LM Corvair before. I've seen just about every GM wheel that will fit along with the typical aftermarket BS. Since my Monza is pretty custom, I really want something that is just as unique.

However, somewhere in my mind I didn't think wheels were as expensive as I thought, so wheels are a long way out yet, so maybe I'll find something in a couple years. I just think I'm going to stick to something simple and cheap for now.

If you haven't seen my Corvair, here it is:

Definitely an awesome project & it's not every day you see one with such a kick ass back story. Wheels are definitely an expensive upgrade... I need to get mine refinished and one of them needs to be uh... we'll just say "un-bent" lol. Not looking forward to that expense but at least I already have the wheels. The picture I posted was of my dad racing one of his at a track day. It has transam/firebird mesh wheels on it custom painted to match the color of the car (which I believe is a green VW used in the mid-90's). The car itself is a '65 convertible 110 with a 4 on the floor. They also have a '68 hard top with the 110 & an automatic. Corvairs = awesome lol

Side note- I always thought a late model corvair would look sick on a set of staggered BBS LM rep's. Just saying

In reply to e46potenza:

There are actually some guys running BBS wheels from BMWs.

In reply to e46potenza:

I was just going to suggest BBSs. I think that BMWs share a bolt pattern if that helps the search.

Pretty hard to beat the look of anything made by BBS. If I hadn't gotten such an amazing deal on my Breyton's I'd have picked up a set of LM reps in a heartbeat. I completely understand not wanting to do what everyone else does though; as much as I love the way CSL wheels look, they're pretty much a dime a dozen on e46's.

Wow love the bmw bbs wheels on the corvair

OH MY GOD YES

I vote no on the meshies- only because they're super played.

Yea definitely not a good idea without spacers. Played on some cars, still different on others. Corvair = different. Now when I started seeing staggered LM reps on FWD cobalts... yea... made me glad I found my Breytons

Maybe we should just rename this thread the Wheel Dump.

My nethers are tingling.

Gottis are like that.

Got that not-so-fresh feeling? Try some Gottis!

the bassett hound looks like he's hawking them for milkbones.

Oh...

Oh my.....

I got your rare wheels right here.

Toda Grand Mechanics. (Not available in 17s though, sorry.)

Wait wait wait. I figured it out. Lover souls. Orrrrrrr...... Carvingheads. Carving head 40s would be gangster and fuxk on a corvair.

I think i'm feeling the Lover Souls.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr SSR Auswuchs.

Volk Monsters?

Work Leadsleds?

Auswuchs. Do it.

I can agree with this

Ok, so this kind of diverts away from the stancetard wheels we've been looking at, but these look very reminiscent of the factory Corvair wheel covers. Holy hell I like these.

EDIT: I just looked at the website and found out these are made for Hot Rods, they either come in 16x5 or 18x6. Good god.
