Well guys, I was curious if anyone has had experience with an all purpose 15"x10" wheel. I've got, available to me, some 15x10" 4x100 aluminum wheels that are supposedly "all-purpose" wheels, as opposed to only drag. The thing i'm wondering is how such a wheel could be durable enough to actually drive with. They're 190 a piece, so I thought that this could be a decent thing to have if they'll work for what i need them to.

Mind you that I am NOT putting this wheel on any FWD Honda, and I dont have to worry about wheel clearance at all due to certain clearances i've made.

Then why are you asking on a forum for cars that could never use such a wheel?

 

Don't answer questions with questions. Its for a project I have, and it is...to an extent...a Honda. Now, if someone could give some valuable input, i'd be appreciative.

 

lol, now don't go making jason mad now.

Now, in response to your question I wouldl ike to kno-----just kidding. Hope you have luck in the next few responses. Bump for a cool guy and a cool project.

 

since we don't know the application, or the brand of wheel, it is hard for us to guess. I would be less worried about the wheel and more worried about the stress on the wheel bearings, especially if it is 0 or neg offset wheel

 

is this an on or off road application? sorry to answer your question with another question but to me it seems like your building a custom off road buggy or something. Also what stresses will the wheel be put under? autocross, offroad, just driving down the street? more info would help a lot.

You're dangerously good. It is a dual sport rail buggy, which will be predominately on-road, but very capable of mild offroad use. The nameless maker of these wheels typically makes them for VW buggies (4x130) in the 40-65 hp range, but he said he could drill a set for 4x100, and they are aluminum wheels made w/ .19 steel, so they're not meant to be light really.
