So I was looking around the good ole web and ran across these Azul Speedmeshs, what do you guys think of em as far as sizing goes 18x8 +35.

I don't know much about offsets but +35 seems a little to high. Opinions?And not sure on color either.... gloss Black or Hyper black

Gloss black

Hyper black

The look is ''correct''. It's the +35 that sucks.

A higher offset means sunken correct?

Yup. Maybe if they came in +25 or +15 it would have been less sunken. You get get them these with the +35 offset, but maybe you'll want to buy some spacers of 10mm to make them less sunken.

Front and rear? I know the rear will need it.

They look good, I would go with the hyper black. Don't get the cheapest tires they have.

Yeah I figured that much on the tires.

I just need a good reference on the wheel color.

Stock offset is +40. Stock wheels are 15x6.5 (s13). Now , even though those wheels you posted are +35 , they are 18x8 , so that will help with the offset.

I was told by Kornaz to get 25mm spacers for the rear and 20 for the front.

Those wheels would look nice on your S14, since black and green look nice together. However, you should look for a lower offset or get some spacers.
