i put this in teh s13 forum and got no love

this is a photochop of new wheels im thinking about... they look hot, staggered (17x8 17x9) and the guy says theyre light...

i would have to do the 5 lug deal.. which i almost have all the parts for

the ones i have on now are 16x7 and 16x8

i was going to go for a dull bronze color, or a dark grey/pewter, but these are hot, just ot sure if tehyre too hot for what ive got going on sofar

what do you think

edit> almost forgot, they have a polished lip... which is a little too bling for my taste, but the rims are *hot*

i think they would look hot, but thats a bad photoshop lol, the wheels are obviously at an angle

or do u just plan to have some rediculously negative camber lol

its a 5 minute photochop (from opening program to save for web)

and the fronts had about 2 deg neg camber and they were turned towards the camera in that pic

I like them. Can I have your 16's? They're exactly the sizes I'm looking for. Pics? Offset?

I don't like 17s or 5 spoke wheels (except for LM GT-2s, but that is because I am a Nismo whore) on S13s. But hey, it is your car.

offset will make or break those wheels... if they're super flush or even slightly past the fenders (with some stretched tires and negative camber) they'll be sweet. otherwise, they'll look like crap IMO...
