I currently have these DTM Team Dynamic rims, but have always had a soft spot for the 13 x 7 superlites. Just wanna know whst you guy think I should do. Stick to what I've got or change them to a deepdish superlite?


THESE DTM 13X5.5


OR

THESE SUPERLITES 13X7


TO GO ON

THIS



I can't seem to find these DTM's here in Aus. Are they rare or hard to find?

go for 13x6 superlights then you dont have to cut as much out, imo i would ditch thoes team dynamics dtm's they dont suit the car. but its all down to you mate

What would you do with the bodykit if you put on the wider 13x7's? You don't get a lot of the DTMs around these day but I quite like them.

i like the DTMs they are different.

supalites are nice but everyone has them (including myself at one point) and i think the DTMs look nice on yours.

but at the end of the day it comes down to one thing:
Your car, Your choice!

Won't the 13x7's fit straight on without mod's. I wan't to steer away from doing any mod's at the moment. Track wont be a problem. the DTM's fit close to 1" in the flare. I just don't wan't the superlite's to foul up anywhere.

sooperHeavys ,,, er ,,, ar ,,, i mean superlites are hot looking, hard to be for the looks, but yeah every man & his dog has them now, (inc me *frown*)

& they are heavy as lead

But they do look tough hey? *smiley*

the DTM syou have just don`t do the car justice tho,,, ok, they are different to most mini mags, but they certainly don`t suit (in my books anyways) each to their own tho, some will like em & others won`t, i`m not a big fan of them tho, they just don`t sit right with me, probly suit a jap car better.

No the guards have not been cut in any way, so does this mean that the 13x7's will be ok?
Yeah matt, The DTM's do look a bit asian and i am gettin tired of the way they look. Want some deepdish mags with a bit of bling!

I'm a 10" retro man myself so I'm not up to speed with 13"s but, I just assumed your going from 5.5" wide to 7" deep dish that they will stick out further hence needing wider arches. May be wrong, it all depends on the offsets of the wheels.
