Hey everyone. I wanted to share some wheels I helped my sister find for her 2023 Taos. She needed winter tires and rims, didn't want the standard ugly black hubs, and had a hard time finding pictures of aftermarket wheels on the Taos online. I'm a mechanic (aircraft, not cars) and have owned a dozen cars, new and old, with many custom parts, so she came to me for help and this is what we found. I figured I'd come here to make a post to help others after our success, as I lean on forum communities like this for advice all the time and I want to give back.
Art Replica 75 in Dark Gunmetal. Also seem to be branded online as Replika R195 in Gunmetal.
Size: 18" x 8"
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 112
Offset: 45mm
CB: 57.1
We went with 215/55R18 Tires (Blizzak WS90 - My Favorite Winter Tire) to match the stock size the car came with, but I think if I were to order again I'd go one tire size up with 225/55R18 just to get a tiny bit more beef in there, but you really don't have to. Otherwise these things look and feel great. The quality of the wheel is pretty decent for a cheap aftermarket, and it was fairly well balanced. Didn't need a ton of weights in it after mounting the tires, worst wheel had 7.
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation as my sister. Sorry the wheels are a little dirty in the pics, took them a few days after I installed the wheels. They look great when clean. If anyone else also has aftermarket wheels installed feel free to share your pics and specs here to help out others too.
