Wheels

So seeing as how its impossible to find a manufacturer that makes 4x110 outside of the Konig rewinds and the one other that drills custom holes in powder coated steel wheels I've resorted to looking elsewhere. I found a company (ITP Tires) that makes alloy wheels for atvs in 14" size that fit 4x110. Question is will they hold up? I saw another thread that speculated quite a bit and even brought up atv rims but none that brought up these alloys in particular, also with no hard answer it just kept the questions going. People use our wheels for their atvs so why not the other way around? Discuss.

This has been discussed before and atvs dont go as fast as cars. Nor are there rims DOT approved. In a nut shell from reading the other post it will probably fit if you can order a offset one but if a atv weighs 500 lbs and ur car weighs 2300-2400 would u really want to risk ur life because you bought atv rims? I sure as hell wouldent even think about doing this. If you want a safer alternative get 4x108 rims (i think there focus bolt pattern) and get the wobble head bolts. Your running a risk there as well but they seem to have been proven to work.

There's a couple choices from Rota. Check out 18racing.com. the RB and Shakotan (or something) are available in 4X110. Just don't get the 8 inch wide for the front, they won't fit without a 15mm spacer. They look good once on though.

There is usually always some 4x110 wheels in the for sale section. You can always check out YJP, they have a lot to choose from.

That's where i got mine, right off the boat

Why is it that in the almost year that I've been here trying on and off to find a decent set of aftermarket wheels and only finding the rewinds, a few stock options, and some rare Enkeis I have never once seen rota, panasport, ssr, or volk on any of those lists... Do my search skills really suck that badly

Heard of many running them with no issues, do a search and you'll see.

The atv rims will fall apart, the bead area cannot handle the stress of a radial tire and the rim is not designed to support the weight of a car.
