[JDMJNKY]

What do you guys think???? New wheels!!! both are +/- 0>@

Hey guys wanted to get some opinions on a possible new setup. LMK what you think. I've never, ever been torn between two wheels before in my life. So I need some help on this one.

My plans are also to lower the car more and flare the fenders 5mm/at least an inch.

the sportmax look alright with the matt

[Golberg]

I prefer the 15 x 7's.... but they're just Watanabe copies aren't they?

What you really need is bumpers from any other country than the US

[PHA786]

They are nice. Me likeee very much. I've asked santa for some like that but i don't think he will produce the goods. :(

15x8s on the rear

:thumbup: thats what I was thinking. just a fresh coat of Matte black, and stretch some 195 50 or 55's on them ???

yeah just watt copies.....I have other cars to play with so I'm not really worried about the name brands for this ride, at least not yet. Just want a good looking daily.

...also already have the jdm zenki bumpers front & rear, if you've never crossed my car's journal, they are posted there. I just have chosen not to install them yet. I don't have the brackets or signal lights.

haha which set of wheels? watt rep's or the maxx's?


15x8s on the rear

LOL they are two diff. styles thats to hardcore dorifto for me. I think I'm diggin the 15x8's though. I can picture how nice they'll look once the bumpers on an dthe fenders have been flared.:cool:

[johl]

they both look so similar just go for whatever fills the guards better

[Intense]

I'd go the 7's for practicality. I've got 8's on mine and it scrubs even with the guards lipped. Putting camber tops in to eliminate the problem. But realistically you'll only run 195's on either set so just grab the 7's

[Konakid]

195/50's on 15x8 0's will only need rolled guards to sit flush with some camber dialed in at the front.

[awang]

if it's me

15x7 front
15x8 rear

[Juturna]

14's FTW

[JDMJNKY]

ok guys well I sold the 15x7's & now I plan on keeping the 8's w/ 195/50/15's. Then flaring the fenders.

[Frying Dragon]

I think you should just do what you want... but. here's my setup.

16 x 8 002.

225/45R16 rear,
215/30R16 Front.

you have to do a little fender pulling and rolling to get it to fit, but with the proper suspension you should have no issues rubbing. Then agian, i'm running 500lbs spring front and 325 rear.

[marvis]

15x8 for sure.

Do you already have them? Maybe 14 x 9's?

^.^

[ae86]

i got 15x7.5 all around which isnt overboard but can looks okay if done well i suppose
