What are some good wheels that are 16"? I have a 5 lug S14 and I like the old school style. Im just having a hard time trying to find anything thats a 5 lug and is lightweight. The best thing I could find is rota grid 16x8. Oh yeah I want something with a decent offset. Thx for all your help!

The grid offroads are a decent option, though they are very hard to find in 5 lug.

You could always go the Sportmax route. They are knockoffs, but you can get 16x8s with decent offset.

In 16" there is not much for options as far as 5 lug is concerned. All the fanbois want 17 or bigger. And all the old schoolers have old cars with 4 lug.

Im wannabe old school.

Rota Grid offroads.



Dont set your mind on 16s either. If done right, 15s can look pretty good.

15x7 0 offset

Old school is a look, not a manufactured date. Expand your mind.

i get that, but seeing how there tends to be an updated look for vehicles with a more recent date of manufacture...its hard to pull off an "old school" look when youre in a very round/bulgy car.

s13's are more boxy, and in the time range of an old school beater/whatever.

Old school does not have to be boxy. Look at the S30, its got some soft lines and some sharp ones.
