Wheels.....help
I fancy putting some new wheels on my blobeye.I am trying to find some wheels with the spokes set back in the wheel,if that makes sense.
A similar look to wide wheels on classic minis.If any photoshop gurus read this any chance of putting any suggestions on a blobeye?

you usually only get dish with width.
So the same wheel can look vastly different/concaved being a few inches wider. But this can lead to clearence issues, depending on how low you go, offset and if your willing to do any arch work.
