Default New style compomotive question...

Been looking at them on different cars, just wondered why some look different to others, like this first picture of this escos -



the start of the spokes are set in abit on the rims, but on this saph the spokes start at the edge



is it something you ask for when buying them or is it cause it's a escos and the offset difference? Personally don't like the escos ones

offset as you said.

spokes to the edge looks much nicer than a dish on Mo's IMO

Negative gives the deep dished look whilst positive brings the rims closer to outer edge like the sapph above.

ex fucking lactly.

offset can affect dish, but only due to the fact that lower offset wheels CAN have a bigger dish if they made like that.

8in hasnt got a dish, its punishment for fitting such a pussy width rim to your car

9in has got a small dish, like on that escos.

10in has a fairly good dish for a 1piece wheel, over 2inches

Same difference (I knew what you meant) now you mention it, the EsCos does look like the wider wheel as I remember Martoon's looking quite rude like that, only more so (10" iirc).

Hope you and yours are well, long time no see.
