What do you think of these wheels?
I'm thinking of buying 16" for my '95 SE.

What color is your car? I'm liking these in hyperblack, but the color of your car may make the other two styles look better.

Do you think that a +48 offset is too much?

I personally don't like any rims with more holes and required. For an SE, I'd buy rims with 5 holes for the 5 lugs and nothing else.

But of the 3 you posted, the last type look the best.
bronze with silver lip would look great on a black car IMO.

The first one you posted is a rip off of the Volk GT-N, the next is a rip off of the SSR Integrale GT-1 3-piece, and the third one is a rip off of the Volk CE-28N. =) I can recommend any of the Volk or SSRs, but can't say much for the ones you posted.
You probably need a lower offset than any of those wheels are even offered in.

I wouldn't get anyless (more) than a +40mm offset and even then I'm sure you'll be dissapointed quickly like I was. It still just doesn't fill out the wheel wells. +35mm is my new minimum.

I also have to question ADR quality and weight. While they might be good looking wheels, for a cheap price, they may actually make your car slower. I have no clue as to what they might weigh, but I'm guessing they're not light.

i say, save your money and buy quality rims, rather than cheap konig, ADRs, etc.

quality might suck, they might be heavy as hell etc. as for the one you posted, the SSR knock offs or the Volk knockoff is kool wiht me

hahahhahaha, I did not like any of them. I know people are knocking Konig and Rota knockoffs ( Same company) but those companies are building some great light weight wheels . In a IS09002 factory . Of course its in the philipinnes but what the hey . for $500 you can get a set of Rota's that are knock offs of the Racing Hart CPO35 and they weigh in at a ultra light weight .
If your gonna trash your wheels i.e. drift then this is not a bad way to go.
Oh ya the Miata club drivers are all over Rota's and love them.

team-integra drivers are also all over Rotas. mainly slipstreams, circuit 8s etc..mainly mugen knock offs.

some wheels may be light weight, but dont forget about how its made. Fordge or Cast. matters a lot. u dont wanna hit a pothole and **** up your wheel

they may be light, but they are cheaply constructed. My friend knew someone who had rotas on his wrx, and the wheel cracked badly while he was driving with them on the track. The whole wheel was shaking badly and almost lost control of the car. Cheap wheels can be unsafe.
