Does anybody have a picture of an S13 hatch with a set of Enkei Imola's on them? I'm having such a hard time trying to find a picture. I've seen them on STi's and other random Honda's but I can't seem to find them on any S13's. I'm contemplating on if I should buy these and I don't want to waste my money on something that doesn't look good on the long run.

Thanks in advance!

There's a reason you don't see them on 240's. At 17x7.5, they're too narrow and the offsets are way too high.

I guarantee these will look horrible on a 240sx.

You need to be looking for wheels no smaller than 17x9, IMO. See sig for suggestions.

Kosei K1's are nice but I like a little modern look, I was also looking at Varrs Toen 2.2.0. I would LOVE the get a pair of TE-37's. I like spokes over mesh and currently I'm running 15x8 Enkei 92's (Came with the car when I bought it).

I have Kosei K1's. They're not great if you're worried about looks. Tire selection is annoying because the best 4x114.3 size is 16x8.5+27. You either end up with a tire thats really beefy or too small to be considered a significant upgrade.

OP, I do believe Varrstoen DID start offering their TE reps for us 4 lug guys in 17x9 and 17x9.5. But if they're a little pricier than you want to pay, Rota Grids/P45R's are similar and a little cheaper, I think.

Because I live about 30 minutes from the Varrstoen warehouse so would it be cheaper if I just go pick them up in person? I remember that they start around $700 for a set of 4 and about $100-200 extra for powdercoat and such.

My friend says Varrstoen's are like the top of the line, one of the best of the best reps you can get. I don't know if thats true but they sure do look freaking amazing.

verrs are nice, i have a set just laying around that i was going to put on my Z but never got around to it...

I really dont think they would look good on a s13 though. I know it dosent help much but get on forza 3 or 4 and just start looking at rims on s13s thats what i do somtimes.

Never realized you could do that on Forza... When I play my xbox I'm usually playing Call of Duty or Battlefield...

I've seen TE-37's on S13's and they look pretty good, and seeing as how Varrstoen's are TE reps I'm fairly certain it'll go well.
