Was wondering if anyone had has pics of a S13 with these Volks on it. Preferably 17's. I'm looking at a set that are 17x7 with a +28 offset. Seems like they'd be e great fit. Just wanna see how they'd look.

Very bad width and not the best offset; Kind of ugly to as well.

yea they would look better if they were WAY wider like 17x9 with more of a lip

those are too skinny

to me, a 7 wide is unacceptable unless we're talkin about some 15's

unless he's planning an FWD conversion.

agreed.
Follow this general rule:
15x7
16x8
17x9
18x10.

Smaller wheels with larger widths are certainly acceptable, given the proper offset (unlike 15x8 -30).

Anyway, I could be mistaken, but iirc PSI240SX has had those wheels (CV-Pros?) on his S13s.

i think 15x7,16x8, 17x8, 18x9...17x9 is the best size though

I have 16x7.5s up front with a 22mm offset,and they fit nice. So those wouldnt look bad at all, in the back, itd leave a bit to be desired.

17x7 is a fast and furious size

My 17x7s aren't bad. For a mildly upgraded car 17x7 is fine. And for S13s we have limitations on our front fender wells. Now on a S14 yes, 17x7 is a little skinny.

dude 17x7..28 offset, Volk quality for 500 bucks? they appear to be 3 piece as well. after making SURE they are legit volks, i'd take that offer, maybe add a 20mm spacer. too bad they aren't an inch wider, but for 500 bucks, id sure as hell get them.

i always thought the stereotypical 2f2f sizes were like 17x7 +42 or something like that. running those wheels without a spacer wouldnt look too bad, and with a 20mm would be pretty damn flush

A friend of mine used to have those in 15x7 on his S13 hatch. Looked pretty bad IMHO.

:faint: Damn I usually don't let people pursuade me this much but you guys are really making me not want these things... :cool: Oh well...I have some time anyway before I actually buy wheels(maybe a month). So hopefully an even better deal on some nice 16" meshies will come along(hint hint)
