deep dish??? what do you mean??? Like low rider wheels???

ddub

I think he means ones with just a really deep lip

EDIT
Something like this possibly?




Where exactly have you been looking? Have you tried using google to search for rims/wheels? There are tons of sites out there.

I love deep dish rims, but I hate how people stretch their tires. I see nothing good in doing it, except for looks and people saying "that's crazy!!!"

it makes the tire respond better. and btw, it was the germans that started it and have been doing it for ages....just thought I'd throw that in before someone comes in with a "its JDM YO!" comment.

as for the wheels, if you really want a nice lip, you're probably going to have to get some wide and low offset wheels. if you do that, most wheels are going to have a decent lip on them.

correct. with stretched tires, you get less sidewall flex which allows more predictable steering.

Mura

Really? Well then, I learned something new. So it's not useless after all. I went in with the feeling that you could one day hit a pot hole and next thing you know, one side of the tire would come off from doing that. I thought by having it that way, it was just to get attention, and some what made your tire alot easier to come off. But if it makes your tire respond better, then I guess that's a good thing. So is it good to do it when daily driven, or would you only recommend this for Track use only?

Umm, I wouldn't run stretched tires on any track car. I don't know what having your tires "respond better" means, but its used a lot in drifting so that the tire loses traction smoother and more predictably. DTM people started it, but I believe it was more for looks than anything else (correct me if I'm wrong). You definitely still have more of a chance of ruining your tire (or your wheel), as the bead has a lot more stress on it, and parts of the sidewall can come in contact with the road (which it isn't meant to do).

people do it on daily driven cars

i wouldn't do it though

just get some normal sized wheels and mount normal sized tires

I Hate Ricers

Not to mention the fact that there's going to be more unsprung weight running wider wheels than necessary. Less sidewall flex? How about lower profile tires?

sudseh

That's exactly why you WOULD want them on a track car.

I have no say in this issue however, since I still run stock size tires at the track.

WOW, that's weird, I didn't noticed any stretch tires at the local SCCA events at VIR...

SideWindeRx7

Yeah, its amazing! I should tell all the guys at the next SCCA event! We will all shed 2 seconds off our times!

sudseh

To all you bullshitters who don't know what the **** you're talking about, PLEASE drop the crap about hipari.
It's getting really annoying.

by losing 10-20% of your contact patch? we don't need no stupid traction.
