    Alloys or Steelies

    Need a bit of advice. Has anyone managed to fit 14"x6" with an offset of 33mm to a Beat? I've seen some nice alloys on the web this size. The other option is to get my steels powder coated black chrome. Any ideas welcome.

    hallo!
    used to have +25 14x6" all round on ours without any problems before the arches were cut/rolled.only time it rubbed was very slightly on the back arches with 185/60 a048's on which had a very square profile. 165/60r14 on the back and 165/55r14 on the front - reckon you should be fine!

    I bought spacers for the front that extend the offset to 48mm instead. Makes it easier to fit more wheels.

    Thanks Maiku. Seems that most nice wheels are 16" or 17" these days. Think I'll keep looking.

    Won these on ebay today. Team Dynamics 6x14 100mm pcd 35mm approx offset. Two of the center caps need painting but may use them without. Wheels seem straight with no dinks. Includes good tyres. Not bad for £50!

    Quick update. Got rid of the dynamics alloys for Sparco Crimsons. Had them powder coated Smoke silver.Center caps from Portuguese Flee Pay.
