Default Cheap Wheels

I'd like to pick up a set of cheap (but not cast) wheels for the s2k for rain tires. I was thinking of doing the 4 ap1 rears but I think I'd like them to be a little bigger.

Definitely not looking to spend a whole lot on them.

Any suggestions?

I'm certain AP1 wheels will be much cheaper than any alternative. What rain tire will you be running (RA1?). Ideally what size tire/wheel would you like? How much do you want to spend?

From what I see, nothing close to stock S2k offsets....

Specify what you want.

They call it "backspace". It is measured fron the mounting face of the wheel to the edge of the rim.

Note that other some companies measure from the mounting face to the inside face of the rim. Always check the ordering instructions and terminolgy for the company that you are ordering from.

I know how backspacing works. but on an 8" wheel they only say 1-5" back. and 5 inch isn't likely enuf. (too lazy to calculate it right now)

Since on a 9" CCW wheel we have about 7" of backspacing.
