Ok so got rims, put them on. tires on them are about 1/4" too wide so they scrub against the fender.

soooooooooooo i'd like input :D

i know i culd prolly go with 205 or 215 and prolly roll out the fenders.


the main thing that's bugging me is something just looks off.

idk if there's too much tire(sidewall) or the well should cover the top of it. how it is now just looks like a porsche cayman or a hatchback tank. something mitilaristic about these wheels.

any thoughts are welcome and greatly appreciated.

It's the offset of the rims. They are too far out.

Personal opinion.
Pros:
The color is good.
The style is different in a good way for me. I kind of like it.

Cons:
They are way too big. That might be what looks off.

haha tires are too big or tires and rims?

craigslist. had the set for about 500 w/ new tires. plus a set of spare tires

i need to get smaller tires. just dont know exactly what will look right. or if the rims are just too big no matter what.

i just like they're unique. never seen some like em. lol apparently enkei discontinued those even though they came out in 08

Woah, I thought mine were big. Go for some 15s kiddo. It'll look a lot cleaner, that's what I'm trying to find :/

Yeah, and I totally quoted you in my sig(: that made my entire night.

woot. I'm up there with the boy wonder. Only I'm man mysterious. Lol,


yea I wanted to go for 15 or 16 but everything just looks the same. Rotas.

Hahahaha I like you. You make me giggle.

Yeah I agree with everyone getting the name brands. That's why I wanna go to stock. Blades, HXs, webs.. more original in my opinion.

I have some 17" Enkei RS6s, with 205/40ZR17/84 Toyo Proxes 4 tires.

ooh nice taste. Hows the 205s fit? Still makes the wheels too big? Cuz the ones in the pics are 225/45/ in the front and 235 in the back. Liiiiiiittle too wide I think.

A little? Haha. They fit fine on mine, I just don't like the way they look on mine. Although the back two tires rub on the fender if I have people sitting in the back.

good reason not to give any big people rides home. lol

see yours is nice. think it might look a little better if it was dropped like an inch, maybe not even that. only problem i'm worried about is if there's any room for aftermarket springs. 18 year old springs/struts suck in the city


and what do you do? bleach your car? o.O it's too white.. lol

I don't think you could lower your car anymore haha.

Yeah, I just think my car would look better with smaller rims. And the color of them doesn't work with my white very well to me.

And no, I do not bleach my car, I just wash it a lot haha. You make it sound like a bad thing it being so white.

it is. The brightness hurts mah eyes =( lol.

watcha mean lower my car anymore? I gots stock springs and struts to begin with lol.


but I'd say get a rim pattern you like then get em powdercoated something different. Maybe ur fav color. Since anything will look nice with white
