I just recieved my wheels in record *cough* wheel discount sucks *cough* time 10 weeks, and they were in stock! Anyhow here are some pics tell me what you think. They are the falken Hanbi 17x9 +20 with 235/40 all the way around. I had to flare the fender to fit them but they are very very flush.

You going to roll on some 13" steelies?

Based on your posts I'm surprised you like 18's.

Those rims look great. They appear to be on backwards though (I know they aren't). Are they four lug?

?

The rims on AP's S13 are 17" Falkens' not 18's. And no, i'm not going to run on 13" steelies, I run on my 15" OE alloys right now, and i'm set on ordering some TeamDynamics 16" rims.............18's are gay and useless on a street-driven car--but that's just my opinion.

were you referring to me? If so, I'm not getting the multi-spoke ProRace 1's as planned, i realized that sticking with 15's but going with a 50 sidewall would lower my car more, and i can't have that on a daily driver. They don't offer ProRace1's in 16" unfortunately, so I'm going with Pro Race 2's 16x7 +30 which are like a 5spoke rim. Well I hope so.. since the rep at TD hasn't contacted me yet about them.

The way I read the post, I was thinking you liked 18's. Your follow up is what I thought. 18's are definitely not useful on the street. I added 1 when I should have subtracted 1. Checked out the Pro Race 2's. Very nice.

I like that color. I saw them in alloy and I didnt like them at all. Nice wheels choice for the color of your car.

Your wheels do look as if they are on the wrong way. Try switching the left wheels to the right side and vice versa.

I'm running the same wheels on mine, same color and all. On my primer grey car the bronze looks awesome, and I'm going to be spraying the car Kandy Brandywine so they should look even hotter than they currently do.
