    Default PPA wheel owners - are you satisfied with them? Their finish and quality?

    OK .. I pretty much decided I'm going to get a set of wheels sooner than later. I was on the fence between 15" and 16", but am opting for 15"s. That said, for those who own PPA wheels, are you satisfied with them? How would you rate the finish and quality? They sure do look good Thanks for experienced input.

    Thanks for the link. Any newer updates? Black/Machined Widows are looking really good

    I purchased mine in 2017, soon as Sean released the black version for my RT and moved them to the F3. I think it compliments the Spyder very well.

    Just got my 15 inch Orbs last week and couldn't be happier. I think the black and machined finish reall adds a more aggresive look.

    Replaced the 15 inch black wheels on my 2015 RT-S with PPA 15 inch chrome wheels and am very pleased with the quality. I'm not a stealth fan and a black machine with black wheels and black saddle was just too much. It now sports some Wrap My Spyder red and silver accents and spectacular (my opinion of course) chrome front wheels.

    I have these a well, very happy with them for both quality & looks!
    The 1 thing to be aware is that the hub hole is to small to hook up the laser equipment if you were thinking of getting an alignment down the road.
    I just borrowed and oem set from a buddy when I had my alignment done...

    Yeah make sure you get laser aligned before you put these on if you cant borrow any. I saw on another post that Squared Away has an extra set of wheels to swap out for this reason.

    Dang you !! Now I'm back on the fence with the 16" phantom black Recluse's. If I go that route, I need to wait a bit longer to accumulate more toy funds. Tough choice between 15" black/machined Widows and the 16" phantom black Recluse's. I really dig the center hole look of the Widow. AAARRGGGHHH

    Something to consider is that the tires are part of the suspension. Larger wheels means lower profile tires. Lower profile means less flexibility to absorb bumps and potholes.

    Yup ... Been considering all of that. Plus, the 15" wheel is 5.5" wide versus OEM/PPA 16" wheels 5" width. This will also help reduce sidewall flex a bit, yet retain some height between tire/wheel. As of now, I'm 90% on the Widow

    I like the one on the left. Widow seems to just stand out more.

    I went with the 15’s. I kind of wish I went with the 16’s, but tires were hard to find. Here is the difference between 5 and 5 1/2 inch width.

    The discount code didn't work for me on a trial run. I'll be ordering tomorrow afternoon and will give a call to Sean at PPA. From my initial studying, this is what I've observed:

    1.) Slingmods
    -------------------------
    15" widows $399.00
    Free shipping
    10% Slingmods points ($39) toward a future purchase within (1) year
    = $399. + $39 off a future purchase within (1) year.

    2.) PPA
    --------------------
    15" Widow wheels $399.
    SquaredAway code - $ 40.
    Shipping cost + 44.
    = $443 cost

    Should have said NO space between Squared and Away. SquaredAway is the 10% code.

    Thanks

    Sean

    you know that I usually have a video done for pretty many things, when somebody seeks for review
    maybe it will help
