Anti-Venom Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Just wondering how many people have aftermarket wheels on their Starquest? I like the stock wheels but mine are pretty oxidized and I'm always looking to make my cars look original. I surprisingly have only seen a couple of starquests with aftermarket wheels. I would like to hear your guys opinion on the subject. Anybody have any pics of your or someone elses car with different wheels? Post em up. BTW here is a link to a Conquest with a Grand National motor swap and Racing Hart Wheels. http://www.ls1speed.com/mazda.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quest4Power Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 no pics, but a local guy just put 18x10 rear and 18x8.5 front BBS RK wheels on his quest. Â the offset is for a porsche and he runs a spacer in the rear to make them fit, but dayum they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FontanaTSI Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Randy, those are nice They're the Snyper's right? Did you by the tires with the wheels? How much? I was debating on getting those wheels and powdercoating them black or just staying with the stock whels. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I have AR 17x8 and 17x9. the fronts are a little wider than stock but they still fit inside the wheel well nicely. http://www.26liter.us/dugallery/pictures/questcwps2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquest_DJ Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Yeah mine are the ROH Snyper 17x8 in front and 17x9 in back. I had Sumitomo 215/45 zrs put on and 245/40/ zrs on back. Cost me $1400 total mounted and balanced shipped to my door. I wanted to make both my cars different, so I went aftermarket with this car. They are really nice, and well worth the 1400.

Anti-Venom Posted March 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I'm diggin the wheels on the yellow quest, I like the nice deep offset look. They all look nice. I hate choosing wheels there are just way to many different styles that would look good to pick just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquest_DJ Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 yeah I was digging the wheels on the yellow quest too, until I realized how much they must cost, and it certainly looks like it required some modding to get them to fit. I agree with you on the rim choosing. It took me hours just to figure out what shifter knob to get for my car. lol Of course we don't have nearly as many options on choosing rims that fit directly and perfectly, so I didn't have a super hard time choosing.

MainstreaM Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hey starquestDJ did you have to use any spacers for the rear on your car? I've been lookin at some roh wheels and just wonder if they fit no prob or will they need spacers for the rear? I've been to the website and it makes no mention of backspacing. Just wondering if 18x9 and 18x10 will fit in a ford mustang offset? thanks Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquest_DJ Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 My wheels went right on and fit perfectly both front and rear, with no specers needed. I basically bought them made to fit my car perfectly from that website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raving_Sterno Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 what about this car. Â these rims are bad. http://www.26liter.us/dugallery/pictures/1starionyellow.jpg here is the link in case the pic doesn't show http://www.26liter.us/dugallery/pictures/1starionyellow.jpg they look like BBS's correct? but i can't seem to locate which model they are.. i'v been looking at HRE's 540's http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-540r.jpg 540R's http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-540.jpg ~J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarBoy Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 The rims on the yellow quest are made by Simmons. Its a completely custom wheel, I know the fronts are 17's, don't know the width on it, but the rears are 18x10's. I think the set costs arround $3000 for that specific model in the conquest fitment. If you want something like that I would recommend CCW's, they look almost exactly like that, but are used a lot by road race guys. I called them not too long ago and they quoted me $360 per rim, not too bad, much cheaper than the Simmons. www.ccwheel.com for more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_V Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I mocked these wheels up last night- I'd need spacers and regular street tires. These are 295/40 hoosier slicks  I don't really like the way the front wheel has no deep dish as well- oh yeah if you had spacers these 295 wide slicks would fit fine- Might have to roll the lip slightly but maybe not- They barely hit the strut as it sits All it would take are some spacers front and rear and skinnier tires up front maybe some 235/40 or 225/35/17s I'll post a better pic later on http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/202062/ROH-wheels013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Here's a better shot of the rear tire width. note how it is fully inside the wheelwell. This slick is the equivelant of a 295 series tire! I found another guy selling a set of these wheels but not exactly the same backspacing as these. His were on a Chrsyler 300m- http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/202062/ROH-wheels007.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
