post a pic up of the rims youre thinking about buying?

i got some multi spoke rims on my r33, no pics tho... just put em on last week. ill try get some for you tomorrow if i got time during the day :blink:

i think the speedy cheetahs i were gonna get were 18x8 on the front n 18x9 on the back i cant remember the offset but i think it was in the 30s i dont know much about offset so what woul be the best offset for me without rolling guards

ok ive seen these rims i like i was thinking off getting them in 18x8.5 on the fronts n 18x9.5 on the back now they come in a lot off differant offsets they are +15 +27 +30 +40 +42 what would be the best offset to go with without having to get my guards rolled or

heres the pic i promised hehe, and also you wont believe your luck!! my mate just got those for his s14. pic included, same sizes front/rear and all, apparently first in Aus to have them fitted.

mine are 18x9 +35 all round, 225/40 tyre front 245/45 rear... i would recommend around +25 front +18 rear for flush tough fitment or around there.

well what would i have to do to get them to fit the factory guards like do i get a smaller width do i get less offset?

i will be running stretched tyres so yer biggest wheel in all areas(size 18s, width?, offset?) that will fit factory guards using stretched tyres

cheers

Dude dont bother with china wheels, your wheels will set your cars look off imo :P I have r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9 +30 offset, and they dont have good enough fitment for me... something with like 17 or 18 X 9 with about a +20 offset will fit nicely under your guards(you will have to roll them) whats your budget for wheels? there are stacks of 2nd hand japanese wheels floating around that wuld look tough for under $1500!!! Good luck :(

Edit:- The 2nd set you posted up that the dude with s14 has look good for cheaper wheels!! so long as you get them in good offset like 18x9.5 +20 or there abouts. Also dont be scared to get your guards rolled or flared a bit :) will make the car look far more aggressive!

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
