Ok, The time has come to stop being cheap. After a few quick trips out to the more... russian parts of town I'm sick of looking at +42 offset curbed up integra hand-me-downs. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding some decent mid to low offset wheels that wont completely destroy my bank account? classifieds have been dry for months now and every new lead on craigslist leads me to a new vlad with some sweet sportmaxxxxxezz. any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I have nothing against russians, I only have beef with their acura's crappy rims.

What's your budget and what are you looking for (17's, 18's, 5 spoke, mesh, etc)?

16's or 17's 4 lug and anything that will give me a wider stance. Mesh is nice, 5, 7, 24 bajillion spokes work too (well, maybe not daytons). I'm just tired of the same sunk sportmaxs.

Don't forget to check out some VW websites. Those guys usually run aggressive offsets and have some used 16x8/9 or 17x8/9 in 4x114.3.

Be prepared to pay handsomely though.

There are tons of wheels to find on craigslist, ya just gotta know what ur doing. A few weeks back I got some staggered 16" SSR rims with 6 tires for $360, all real good condition. I don't know if Auburn is nor or so cal, but there are tons of listings in the LA and San Jose areas for 240 stuff. My first vite for cali rim selection is rbmotoring. Pandagarage has good stuff, but their prices are a bit higher than most.

BTW, IMO the absolute highest offset that works for a 240 would be 38, but a bit lower is better, also depends on width.
