Ok..i got these this month from Jhot...they are 2 piece and i already took them apart and did them in Gold / Flat Black / Silver (orig color - just repainted)...so anyway they are 17x8.5 in front 17x9 in rear.

Just wanna know what color you guys like the best and what is the best size tire to get a deep look - should i streach them or go for a full size?

lemme know...heres the pics

whatup man, havent seen you out in awhile, i have the grey sr hatch with the red advans, but personally i think gold would look good on your car, black on white is kinda played out, and the silver is ok too. but gold FTW!

id say gold or silver...spoke design doesnt look too bad, but too bad the offsets dont look too happy

Im loving the flat black...it looks 100percent better in person but i still think i want the gold cause no body around has it...

as far as the offset...I know its not the deepest but its probably about 2 inches (kinda hard to tell with the camera phone). I happy with it....guess i dont need to worry about any fender issues...would i have any problems with using spacers. would that help the look? And what about tire sizes...

i run a id say if your not looking for too much stretch do like 225-235 up front and 245-255 in the back, i got 16x7 and 16x8 +32 and run 225 and 245 and they fit fine and look great.

im leaning towards gold but silver looks nice as well. Flat black looks like shit. If you want a black that is not super shiny, go satin black. It looks really good.

well it looks like gold is the winner!...by the way the rim size is 17x8.5 in front and 17x9 rear and offset is +39...the wheels are by STERN...they do kinda favor the rota D2 they look more like r32 wheels with a nice lip...

well anyway thanks for all the help...someone let me know about spacer options and yes i do have acces to a fender roller if necessary

Get spacers.

The pics died like, RIGHT AFTER I saw them LOL.

That flat black is tight, if you have like. . . CCWs or something.

Since they're 2 piece rims, mount the face on the barrel backwards for like -100 offset!! :D

Oh and paint it gold. Silver will be a distant 2nd, and flat black = fail.

Anything smaller than a 235/40 will have a nice stretched look on the 9j wheel.

Will probably have to go 215 or less to get the same look with the 8.5j.

16x8-15 with a 205. My sig.

9" Go for 225/45, safe stretch, 215/45, medium stretch, or 215/40 or less EXTREME stretch.

8" 205/45/17 done.
