    something chrome, around 16 x 6 pos 44 offset, if the chrome is flaking off you get way more street cred.

    Give the guy a break, he asked a simple question and doesnt need guys like you ripping the shit out of him. Answer his question(s) seriously or DONT POST AT ALL!! Getting sick of the fuckwits like you.

    Depends On how much cash you have,

    Check out they sell Konig Rewinds for a little under $1000 for a set of 14x7 -9 offset, that will give you a little bit of dish and they should sit nicely in your guards.

    Kyouteki also does Work Equips brand new but they are alot more expensive, check them out

    There are also alot of popular JDM wheels around like:

    Meshies:
    Longchamp XR4's :
    Wantanabes: (Banzai Parts Garage Has A Nice set forsale)
    Starsharks:
    Impul Hoshino Racing:
    Brake Boilers:
    SSR Mk-2's:
    SSR Mk -3's:


    There are heaps more wheels around but these are some of my favourites, check out the site sponsors and they might be able to hook you up with what you want.

    find some SSR longchamps, around the size of `14x7 with as close to a "0" offset as you can

    ^^^^^wow chill i think he was only jokin lol^^^^^

    anyway if u want nice rims get ones with negative offset. A nice set of longchamps, centerlines or meshies reversed look nice.

    depends where it's scraping. mine was scraping on the seam on the firewall even after i removed the plastic bits. i adjusted my castor forward and belted the seam down with a hammer. you may still have to flare your guards a bit though. just fold the sharp lip back under then bend the edge outward.
