Default Anybody know who makes wheels like the JADA model?

I first liked these wheels seeing them on an Eclipse model but then seen them on all of the GS ones too and I am really liking the look of them but can't seem to find a similar make.

It gets kinda tough when you go the imitation route because one of the main things you probably like about those wheels is the lip action!! Most knock offs dont come in staggered sizes so you lose that rear lip action that you want. I have not really seen a wheel that matches that look other than the 2 that I posted.

I kinda have a mental log of what looks like what, and those are the only 2 that popped up in my head!

Good luck man

Default Wheels

D, yeah you are right about the lip, that is alot of what I like about the wheel and it is different than the 5 star look I usually like. I want the staggered look but not sure what identifies that besides the offset, I will look into wheels at the end of spring....when I feel like spendin the loot.......

its the width and the offset that gives you the lip action you want. 8.5 or 9 in the front and 9.5 or 10 in the rear on average!!

if I were you, I'd go for the Symbolics, you can probably get them for a good price (maybe 800-900per wheel), a lot better than the Collectizone, they are overpriced, mostly because everyone has their other wheel in 22" on the 745!!

Good luck man

Yeah they do resemble the Dronells that James had, I didn't post those since they don't make em anymore. When I was searching for a spare CA-05 I found a set of those, the shop wanted 5k plus shipping with tires!!

Yeah I like Symbolics, maybe you could get a good deal, and get the wheels for 3600-3800 plus shipping, then 1200-1300 for tires!
