How deep is your dish?
I saw these amazing 14 inch 12J steel rims on Auctions Yahoo:
Deep dish 14 inch 12J steel rims
Just look at how deep that is! What would the offset of these rims? ET 100?

As you can see they used something like 5J wide steelies as a basis and widened it by adding another steel band in between.

Even if it looks wicked it is not exactly the safest way to have wide steel rims: the center of the original wheel may not be strong enough to carry the load of the extreme wide lip. Making the lip wider makes it a big lever of 7 or 8 inch. Imagine the stress this will create on your wheelnuts! 😀

Remember the deep dish steelies I posted some time ago? Well, they are deep compared to these 15 inch 14J ET -74 steel rims I found on Auctions Yahoo!

These rims don’t look that deep, eventhough they are more than double in width than the average rim on any car!

Only 500 dollars and they are yours! Offset is 114.3×4, so they should fit on most older Japanese cars. They would even fit easily on my Toyota Carina or on any hachiroku! 😛
BTW: Nice car collection on the background! I see three 240K Skylines on the foreground and a Gloria (or Laurel) in the background.

Tires are supposed to be 285/40 and look quite stretched. Amazing how round these tires become when stretched this much!
And who cares if stretched tires have less grip: 285 width stretched tires should give me more grip than my 185 unstretched tires! 😉

After last weeks amazing Hayashi Streets I have to disappoint you: this week some unknown steelies:
Extreme wide unknown steel rims
I have absolutely no clue how wide these rims are, but I can only guess about that. I know one thing for sure: they are wider than their diameter!!
