well, for a street car they'll look ok, but everyone will say that they're too small and not low enough offset. wat's are nice.

meh, offset isnt THAT bad, a good "starter" offset

but yeah could be more flush but seeing as how youre on shock / spring combo then it should look ok

a lot of guys on here do the red wheels thing, its really up to you

if u like how it looks cool then do it, you have to wake up every morning and see it :)

will look good. I like the look of 16's on our cars.

if your car is a FB, then offset for flushness (imho) should look like this:
16X7 0-5 offset in front (zero being more uber flush, just need camber and a roll)

16X8 10-15 offset in the rear (10 needing only a roll and some camber)

just my opinion based on seeing lots of different offsets on lots of different fastbacks. not sure if this holds true for coupes, but it will be close.

i say go for it, you just might want consider some better offsets.

Yea, you could find some better sized Wats, and just have them powdercoated red, if they're not red already.

since your not on coilovers those offsets aren't bad at all. I was actually thinking about getting those wheels as they have had them for sale forever! You should run a 10mm spacer up front and they will be pretty flush (until you get coilovers) which will also make them a little more even compared to the rear which will extend outwards another 2mm than a 7" +15 would.

Here's a pic of my car with 15x7 +17 205/55/15's on sportlines:

16" is fine on an S13. Hell, 15" looks pretty solid, IMO, like some Rewinds or something, you just need meaty rubber.

I don't like it too much, since both are shades of red.
