I've got this set of Cheviot wheels (center) that I've had sitting around since about 2008. Now that I've got a car I can drive I'm toying with the idea of throwing some tires on them to see how they look.

do you remember where you bought these? I've looked all over and nobody has them and xxr is discontinuing them.
My car has XXR 502 wheels and BFGoodrich tires. 17" in the front, 18" in the rear. Original plastic DMC logo wheelcaps modified to fit the new wheels. Handles like a dream.

I bought the fronts and rears from different places and it took me a long while to find them. I know I bought 2 from:

Guys,
I have these same wheels and it was a nightmare finding them. NL didn't have any left when I built my Daughter's scooter a few months ago- I found 1 online after continually searching for them. I believe eBay is where I found the last one for her scooter. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it will be a headache for you.

Looks good!Interesting, yes looks similar! Hard to tell in your photo, but it looks like you machined the ends of your spokes. I kept those black - my aim being to give the outer end of the spokes a floating "pop" factor, and to give a very defined black ring edge before the centre section.
This fitted shot shows the effect working exactly as I had hoped
What size tire you have on the back ?

So bringing this thread back.
I was gonna go with XXR wheels, but can't really get the ones I like, mainly the 18's in 4 bolt.
I am looking for the concave look. I will be definitely putting the DeLorean ground effect kit. i even bought Toby's rear spacers.
I came across Ruff wheels R959 4x100. I really like them. Looks like I won't have to use Toby's spacers on these.
Rear wheels: 18x8.5" offset 17mm which will fit perfect.
Front wheels: 17x8" offset 35mm Not sure about the fit on these. Anyone have experience working with wheels on these cars?
