They look big in person. the pictures dont do them justice. i would upload the high quality ones but there way to big. there 17x8s with a 35mm offset

+35? what is stock offset on the s14? to be honest they look quite a bit more flush then my stock wheels, esp on the rear view. i think it would look better if you got a cleaner picture. try taking a lower resolution picture so u dont have to reduce it and have it get all pixellated (or use a better program to reduce it).

hmm maybe if u reduce the fender gap they'd look better too. stock suspension? my car is lowered but still on stock wheels and it somehow makes the wheels look huge. 215/55 tires i think... can't remember now.

Dude, Thats Harsh... Those Are Really 17x8's ?

Damn, Looking @ That Would Make Be Def Want To Put 18x9.5's On.

Luckily They Prolly Wont Look Nearly As Bad When You Get Some Suspension

iirc stock offsets 42mm so the 35 not that big of a change with only an 8 inch wide wheel. inch up and out not that drastic of a change... will definately look better without the fender gap. cant go wrong with a classic 5 spoke wheel. heck Im looking at a set now on auction.yahoo.jp 17x9 with a +19 that I'll stick a 5mm spacer up front and 10mm in the rear :) if they go cheap enough

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiits....SPACER TIME :D

they won't fit as good as you think they do now when you get negative camber.

They look fine to me, but better w/ 8-10mm spacer.

Btw, where in AL are you? I'm in Mobile.

Peace,

8-10mm? ha go 15 - 20mm

Bryant - We DO LIKE the rims! we are just fans of lower offsets. :) something to get then really flush. My pie cutter 17x7s with a +42mm offset have a 25mm spacer behind them and its not flush enough for me they are my old weaksauce rims. soon to be upgraded. the 5zigens are on my list of potential wheels due to price and the 17x9 with a +15mm offset option. throw a 15 mm spacer on it and get the wheels to sit more like this

the wheels themselves look nice. however i think they could be a bit more flush with the frame. go by the top of the wheel, not the bottom. even my stock wheels stick out on the bottom. like someone said before, when you lower the car the tops are going to sink into the frame even more... :X

those wheels looks good on your car man.. nice color too...
not that flush but thats alright man.. +35 offset is still a better pick than +40 or +45 :)
