I just cant stand people with poor opinions lol. Yeah you could of set you dont like them but thats alot different then saying they are crappy like MR7s.

Those wheels are garbage, only come in 17x7 +45 or something gay like that, they are a flat face and about 1/3 of north american rice rockets have um. Luckly I just seen on a link that they are discontinued.... bout god damn time.

As for the Battles on that 14..... mmmmmmmm When I go into work again today im gonna see about additional sizes liek 18x9.5 +15s

Well as long as hes right then his opinion matters. And in this case hes right so.... let him speak lol.

If you get sportmaxs get some 501s, some 002s, or some 513s. All in 15x8s. Dont waste your time with the poor offset 17" wheels they sell.

yeah... and?

If you get a 15x6.5 +45 then yes it will look like an MR7 but if you get a 17or 18x9.5 +15 it will look dead sexy. Its ok though, u can hate.

Actually i hope more people hate cause then no one will buy them and it will leave them all for me!

I love how everyone on NICO, says 17x9.5 +15 are bad sized wheels. I swear the average s chassis needs datons to keep up with all the ricers that feel the need the pull their fenders untill it rips, and dents, while stretching 215`s on a 17x10.

Back to the topic, I think the wheels would look great on an s14, and the 15 offset might be a little to much for a s13.

I tried purchasing the MB Battles last week in size 17x9.5 +15 offset with 5x114.3 lug pattern and they told me they don't carry it anymore. Are they out of stock already? Do I have to special order these bad boys? Need some info about them wheels white90esex. Thanks.

Why have I always had a state of mind that FWD cars are the one's that are supposed to ride on the wheels with no lip?

I don't know why. . .It seems like I've thought that sense early highschool years. . .
