here they are. im not thrilled with them, but they'll do until i can find something that i like better. at least they all match. obviously made the switch to 5lug to make this all happen. 18x8, 25offset, gonna toss on some 5mm spacers. what do you think?

I was wondering where the hell you went!

I dig em! Obviously since they're flat you'll hear a lot of remarks, but I think it pulls it well! What are they?

I'm glad someone had the balls to do something other than concave or fat-lip.

Also, I love how ppl keep saying you need like +15 offset of be flush. +25 is looking ok.

yeah, its a new look, but i thought i would try something different. they are tenzo's, i know, i know, but all i could afford with a decent offset for now.

yeah, wanted something different, maybe theyll grow on me, but for now, they are just something that matches at all corners and clears big z brakes.

It depends on camber setting, and width.

exactly, a lot of measuring goes into getting the right sized wheel. it took me a long time to find something in a 8-9" wide with a 20-30 offset respectively.

Why are you such a hater dude?

Just because they don't "tuck" like you like doesn't mean they don't look nice.

I'd definitely take those over a set of played out MB Battles.

Nice wheels, they look great on your car!
And now you're 5 lug so when you do decide to get something different, you have a world of opportunity.
+1 for hatch being clean as hell, only thing that would make it even cooler would be a sharknose. :couch

Y0 Jon! long time no see brotha

I'm gonna be honest, I hate 18's on stock bodied s13's. They look too big in my opinion.

Did you get a new paint job btw? I thought your car was purple or something
