whats your opinion guys, would they look good? You can't get a perfect flush fitment without spacers but it'd be close. Anybody seen this before? I'd like to do work euroline FS but I can't have my car looking exactly like faulk's. lol

Most people will need to see pics of those wheels? (looks like a BBS-style wheel)

What offsets are you finding? What size are you looking at for fitment?

Lost of questions, but in short that style of wheel should look real nice on any Q

Don't forget about Volk Racing Evo 3's or even actual BBS RGR or RS-GT's.

I'd like Volks or BBS but their 700 per wheel or more. the 5zigens are less than 400/wheel.... maybe I should just save up for a lil while longer.

size would be F- 19x8.5+25 R- 19x9.5+25 ... or maybe the 9.5's all around,?I don't know. 9.5+25 is the lowest offset available though. sux.heres a pics of the 5zigen sports engines...

Until last week, the 2 piece BBS RS-GT's in 19x8.5 +35's were on "clearance" on Tire Rack for $399. You'd have to run some spacers to get the "flush" as you're looking for, but you can't beat that wheel for that price (new).

Might be worrth calling them to see if they still have them, even though they're not listed on the site anymore as "clearance priced".

Good choice ... I like the look.

If you'd consider other "styles/sizes" ...

The SSR GT 3 - 19x8.5 +30 $479 (Closeout)

The SSR GT10 - 19x8.5 +35 $559 (Closeout)

The SSR GT2-H - 19x9 +31 $249 (Closeout)

The OZ Superleggera III - 19x9 +27 $729 (Closeout)

The Speed Star Wheel D5R - 19x9 +24 $179 (Closeout)

The BBS RGR 18x9.5 +25 $449 (Closeout)

Just a few ideas

The Sports Engine wheels look very nice for the price, but the offsets will need spacers on Y33's, and at least on the Lexus LS I saw them on, they didn't look nearly as good in person as in pictures.

That price on the BBS is incredible, for that price I'd be tempted to get the BBS and run spacers (probably 1" needed), but I really prefer the staggered setup.

Have you checked out Memoryfab.com to see if there are some used wheels you can get?
