Wheels look great, same goes for the car. How much they cost you?

[NiteKids]

I think someone is selling some spacers in 4 lug in the for sale section.

With the tires (look brand new!!!) 1450$ shipped. Really awesome, seriously! I am shock on how well they fit.

Yeah, I am selling spacers. I don't need them anymore. Wheels are almost flush with fenders (something like a 5mm difference because of camber)

[NiteKids]

If I were you I'd keep your spacers and put them on these wheels. :D

Nice wheels nonetheless but I honestly think you need a bit lower offset. That is far from flush. But I'm sure it is more then your old setup though.

Yeah... maybe a little lower (such as 5mm) but my spacers are too much (8mm). And trust me, they look pretty flush compared to my old 16x7.5 +40 wheels!!! ;)

[NiteKids]

You know what if you have time. Try out your 8mm and take pics.

[HaLo]

If I put the spacers on, I need to change the studs. I also have the studs, but I don't have the time to put them on.

why are they so dirty, they don't really look as good as those 5spokes you had before..i would sell them and get something else...maybe some gram lites in bronze cheeper and lighter!

That's because I have had the chance to clean them. I can't afford new wheels. Way to expensive.

[AKADriver]

Not everyone needs a stupidly large scrub radius.

If it clears everything, then it's perfect.

[mrmephistopheles]

looks bitchin', dude!

[Jeff240sx]

You bastid!
You stole my GT-Cs!!
They look good though.

[boro240]

how come you didnt clean them BEFORE putting them on? its a **** load easyer and you can do a better job when theyre not on the car.

Enjoy the wheels mang, Volk make some supa high quality stuff!

[240Stilo]

Hey my new wheels are all 17x8 +35 welcome to my club I made you a member whether you like it or not.:D By the way, are you happy with the tire sizes?

[ca18guy]

The car and wheels look nice, if I had a S13 hatchback I would want it to look like yours :p :D

It would look better with out the black stripe

[HaLo]

240stilo:

You have the same size wheels? That's great. Much better than my old ones. ;) I love the wheel size. And the staggered setup looks great. :)

Jeff240sx:

Were you interested in these wheels too? :)

[Steeles]

[nrcooled]

I absolutely love them. Also my only gripe about your car is gone. I really didn't like your old wheels now the car is beautiful. Good work meng!

BTW Congrats on getting those bugs worked out...I know what it's like to have a SR that doesn't want to run properly:( ;)

[KiDyNomiTe]

Looks a ton better int he day pics. Don't listen to these flush whores :p , 5mm will be good enough.
I kinda like the black stripe, but thats cuz I have one :D

"Montreal, Quebec"

[HaLo]

Yup, in Canada. :)

Thanks for the comments guys! I also really love them! One of my greatest purchases yet!

[s13guy]

glad you like them man... I didnt really want to let them go, but with the shipment coming next month I had no room and our roads are way too bad right now to drive on anything like those.

Very nice car... super clean, keep up the good work
