so i couldn't pass these up they were dirt cheap and the guy that owned them was getting his 240 repossesed so he needed to get rid of these before they picked up his car. I have been trying to save up for rims for awhile but that money ends up getting spent on other more important family stuff. it has been raining for a few days here so my car is dirty and i took the pics with my cell so sorry about the bad quality. i know some dont like the 2 tone scheme but would you have passed up on these if they were selling for under $225!!!

Sell the rear ones and get something like this from SPL. They carry 4-lug wide FNs.

Which sizes were those?

I'm still debating on the 17x9 FNs or 17x8.5 Rota D2s for my coupe.

The best ones for 4-lug are the 17x9 +20 they have (only in hyperblack now apparently). The ones you pictured are the 5-lug 17x10.

17x9 +15 for total flushness just need some fender rolling.

Not bad, kind of look like mine. Are the back wheels a different color than the front?

Looks good! Another suggestion if you don't want to get another set for the rears, you could run a set of spacers to push them out to the edge a bit more. Nice looking car tho!

You should put the black ones up front, say you brake so aggressively you coated em with dust

Although the 8" up front and 7" in rear would be a little weird.

Anything more than a 5mm spacer should either be bolt on or I would buy longer studs.

You should color the front ones black with some kind of paint. I think somewhere I read a write up on how to do that awhile back.
