so i got my s14 a month ago it runs great starting to fix it little by little as i got a part time job and school. everythings good, but what i cant stand is every time i walk towards my car u can see the rim tucked inside the fender. you can tell those wheels where 4 lug for maybe a honda or some crap and made it 5lug or this s14. that's just how i got the car and ive been saving my $$$ to buy me some new pair of rims. ive looked online but ive seen alot of s14 with like 18x8.5 15+ offset and 18x9.5 10+offset, but what im looking for is a deep dish look, or a wide lip look...? what offset is that or the specs? ive seen few with the look i want. i really dont knw much on wheels, since it is my first time with a car

oh! and another thing is that it came with TEIN coilovers when i got the car...

this is my car as how it looks from the front

and this is how it looks from the side

find pictures of s14's see which one you like the look of best, buy wheels with the same size and offset.

Get MB's they are cheap and sexy.

I will tell you what size wheels you are getting.

You are going to get 18x9.5 +15 or +12 offset.

OR you can get 17x9.5 +15 or +12 offset

Some wheels you should get are the MB Battles they are cheap and awesome.



Some other wheels you should get are the Rota P45R's



Another decent looking wheel is the MB Weapon.



So you decide
