So I got a set of 14" 1994 oem alloys for 75 dollars with good tires.
 
So today, thanks to craigslist, I got a set of 14 inch oem hollow spoke rims with goodyear tires with plenty of tread left. 75 dollars picked up, fantastic deal!

There is a similar deal here for $100, but are 14's any good for track tires? Doubtful...?

No, let alone they won't fit over the brakes. Unless you have girly brakes.

Umm they are good deal for me considering my 97' is just a stock car and i'm going to be selling the DR-16's that are on it.

Funny, the '90 I picked up a few months ago had the semi-hollow wheels on it too. Slap a set of Star Specs on 'em, and those will make decent DD wheels.

a friend of mine is running Avon Tech RA 205 55 14s on his NA miata and loves the setup FWIW

I wouldnt mind a set of hollow spokes with some 225 a6s or v710s so I can play in e-stock :).

Dont the hollow spokes weigh like 8-9lbs? Thats only 2 or so lbs heavier than the lightest 14x6s you can get!

Dumb newb question...How do i tell if the wheels on my car are the hollow ones or not? Can you see or touch a difference? Or do they have to be weighed?

chris101 07-12-2010 10:09 AM

the 'hollow' ones are smooth all around where-as the 'solid-spoked' version is creased in (reach around to the back and feel the spokes to tell)

Thanks.
