Need opinions for new rims (98 i30)

[reddy]

I was thinking of putting 18" Konig Freefalls (in graphite) on my stock 1998 i30 (silver). Any opinions?

[eye30forever]

I like em. rims are a matter of prefrence, i got a 96 i30 and i want to get some ADR M-sports in black. you gotta get what you like.

Those look good. I like 5-spokes. Not sure about the "dots" on the spoke ends; have to see them on the car...

I bet they'd look good.

A slab-sided car needs a deep dish. Excellent choice.

What offset? That is critical on a Maxi for the most part.

[elwesso]

maybe im wrong but im guessing the offset isnt gonna be high enough for the maxima body.....

theyd look great IF they fit right

[audtatious]

Yeah. IMO, 40mm offset rims with 10-15mm spacers in the back are perfect. At least for the 5th Gens.

[reddy]

A '98 is a 4th gen right? I believe the offset is +40.

I got hub rings, 73 od 66.1 id. They arrive Friday, I'll post a pic when they're on.

[reddy]

Here's the pic of the mounted rims, as promised.

bad quality pic, sorry

[maxhopper]

Man, those look good. How is the offset on them?

[elwesso]

yeah thoes do look good, just need a drop now

[reddy]

Gonna drop it next weekend. I'm pleased with the way they look on the car, and I didn't have any fitment issues. I used hub rings (diameters mentioned above).

Er.. forgot to mention I only got 17s, not 18s.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Looks good. I'd say the 17s look better than the 18s would, anyway.

[SilverI30]

they look nice..what size are the tires??

[reddy]

Kumho ECSTA 711 P225/45R17, 91H.

Dropping it Saturday, I can't wait! I'll post pics.

On another note, what should I do next, clear corners or tints?
