Elbrus Wheels & sizes
Ok this is the wheel I wanted. It's Elbrus copy of the Wald carried Mahora. The Walds were pricey. Tire rack carries these but only in a 42 offset non staggered width of 8" wide. Also they are very inexspensive. Is quality an issue ? I really like them but will the car look funny with a 42 offset and 8" all the way around ?

Reps are cheaper cause they don't need to recover R&D investments and typically use inferior materials which can cause bending, warping, cracking of your wheels. If you're in a region with good maintained roads, not really an issue, but if you regularly commute through areas filled with potholes and uneven roads, could be hazardous.

i will also have a 42 offset all around.. hope it will come out how i will like it... my setup is not to go aggressive so i guess i might be ok..... i think those rims might look better if the offset are little more aggressive... just my 2 cent
