I'm thinking of going with wide fenders to make my car look a little more aggressive. I know I will not have the sleek clean look with rivets around the back fenders but at least it will look very nice.

I have several options that I'm considering....

Option 1: Change out my front face to S14 zenki to make my car look like thishttp://www.tra-kyoto.com/6666/s14/s14.htm Unfortunately, 6666customs have no plans of making a Kouki version....... the fenders are 30mm both front and rear.

Option 2: Keep my Vertex kit and just buy the Vertex Ridge wide fenders. I think it is 35mm and 35mm on both fenders. and make it look like thishttp://www.t-and-e.co.jp/img/d....html

Option 3: Take my vertex kit out and make it OEM JDM style with all JDM Kouki bumper parts.

both option 1 and 2 will need a new set of wheels.....so I will buy a new set and go back to 18" instead of 19"........ and go really WIDE!!! I need some size/offset help.

So, what you all think?

Damn Taka, I already love the way your car looks right now, why change it?

I love the OEM style personally, kinda gives it that sleeper look. But out of the kits, I'd prefer option two. I like s14 zenkis over koukis but I really like how that wide kit looks on that kouki.

I use to have a site that you could enter in a wheel size for your car can see if it fits but I've lost the link. I would try browsing around wheel sites under the model and see how wide you can go with them. I there's a zilvia thread that goes into this, Edgar should know which thread it is.

thanks for the info. I really like the vertex too. The good thing about this vertex is that there are authorized dealer in US. for the 6666 customs kit, there is none......except for Memory fab.

I checked out the zilvia site..... i think it is the wheel thread that is about 70 pages long....... I'll check on it.

thanks man.
