    Ultra Wheels model 50, they look cool and they're $94 each instead of $140 for Ansen Sprints. They look a little more "modern" and I like that. Now the question is...

    Will they fit? I've narrowed it down to the 050-5765K, the 050-5865K, and the 051-6865K.

    I'm unsure if the bore will be big enough for my Mav disc brakes.

    Also, regarding width:
    The first is 15x7, then 15x8, then 16x8. How wide could I get the tires on the x7's, and would the backspacing on both x8's work?

    Looks like a pickup truck wheel.

    I've determined that the bore is indeed large enough! Now which wheel size do I want is the question now...

    Check out the review on Tirerack.com. Stated that the wheels were a very soft material and easily damaged.

    Nice looking though.
