Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Most liked posts in thread: Couldn't believe that my wife said "You need wheels"..

I vote #1 based on looks and weight, and #2 based on fitment

the 7.5 et40 is nearly perfect. the other one is in a little further

 

Nice....

Hard enough to pick a new wheel among the 1000's of choices between what you like and what will fit and you bring this up!
:devil::cornut:

 

wow those black ones are sweet!

the lower offset and wider rim will stick out maybe an extra half an inch or so (compared to stock), and it definately seems to help in the looks dept.

 

seeing as how I bought those wheels in '05 for my wife's cabrio, they ended up on my coupe and were maybe set #2 out of 15+ I owned on that car....don't think there's an issue there. I don't even remember who I sold them to....its been perhaps four years now.

 

I know I'm a little late and I didn't read all the posts but I have a question for you.


Does she have a sister? :lol:


If you like that style, you may want to check out OZ Ultralaggera wheels. They are pretty close style wise but they only weigh 14.x lbs in 17's.

Just a suggestion.

We bought our fridge last night at Sears too.......who in their right mind would believe that refridgerators could cost $2000?

No, we didn't buy one that expensive, ours was "only" $1400!

No car parts for now for me either.

OTOH, that new intercooler from DoS is $1600, for what amounts to a small radiator.......

 

theyll look fine im sure. you could always grab some 5mm spacers or something if they dont sit out enough for your tastes

 

Interesting......we bought a Samsung too!

Sears had them on sale for 30% off, which was about $50 lower than their regular low, low price!

So, no wheels (or anything else) for me either!

 

i dunno, i think H&R makes them. I think Outmotoring has some IIRC

 

17x7.5 et32 is about "as flush as possible" as you say. 205/40/17's

Mine were originally 17x7.5 et40, but they have 8mm spacers up front. It's about as flush as you can get without poking.

For the most part, spacers are spacers as long as you don't get the super ghetto $5 universal types. Those are the one exception. They are a pain to install and they generally aren't straight. Other than that, any 4x100 spacer that looks quality is just as good as the expensive H&R's or whatever.

 

No, I was just sharing the specs of what was pictured so you knew what you were looking at.

You'd be fine with 215/45's...I would stick to 5mm spacers if that's what you end up running.

I like the tenzo's the best from the ones you posted.

 

Machined gets my vote. I hate 99.9% of black wheels with a passion.
