Just wondering if anyone could post or direct me to some pics of an S13 with a size and offset close to 17x7.5 +32. I have been looking around and no luck. Thanks, Jason.:)

You've got a pic of such a sick wheel in your sig and you ask for pics of that size and offset?

I'm confused.

it will look sunken.

i figure it is the near the same as a 17x7 wheel with like a ~28 offset?

Go to Speed Monkey (http://www.speedmonkeyinc.com) and navigate to the S14 page. My wheels are 17x7.5 +33.

The wheels that are pictured in my sig are dream wheels for most of us. I dont think I will ever be able to afford them. The reason I ask for pics of this particular "weak" size and offset is because I need a set of daily driving wheels that attract ZERO attetnion. My "hardcore" wheels will be for the track. I don't really need to run a 17x11 -4 for the street. Just something that can handle pot holes and clears my new brakes. Thanks speedmonkey!!

I was partially referring to the lmgt-4's (which are SICKKKK!!) but mostly offset....... you could go much lower (and wider) without having to roll fenders or use gnarly camber. It would look way better! How would a lower offset and possibly wider wheel attract more attention? from the cops i'm assuming.......

and remember......... brake clearance is based solely on spoke design.

As well as thieves.

Are 17s the smallest you can go to fit the brakes? If not, why not go down to 16s? I see you're point, in wanting to have something that fits, without the price of a low offset/wide rim. I don't blame him. Why spend a gripload on daily wheels if they're just going to be beaten as dailys?

Why spend a grip on track wheels when you are inevitably at some point go off track and possibly scratch/bend?

does that make any more sense?

unless you are dodging cones....... that's a different story.

Yea, 17's are the smallest I can go for my brake upgrade. I already have a set of wide and low offset 17s for the track which I paid a good amount for and I just don't see the need besides looks to have a wide and low offset wheel for the street. I just have a chance to help a friend out with money and to get some decent wheels for daily abuse for very cheap which I need anyway. My main concern is not so much cops, but like Bliss said theives as well. Call me paranoid but whatever. If anyone has any pics for S13 that would be great too.

KA Drifter: the lugs are Koyugen ( spelling? ) The studs are Nismo, so I made sure I ordered the correct thread pitch on the lugs. Mostly you find Honda thread pitch, but Nissan are readily available.
