Need Opinions/Help with Wheels!!!

[CChris704]

Alright, so i think i found my wheels of choice for the summer and I wanted your guys opinions on whether they would fit and if you think they'd look good. They are for a sunlight silver msp that will soon have Ground control coilovers...
it's a 40 offset w/ a 5 x 114.3 bolt patter

also i was wondering if these would fit the stock tires since they still have plenty of tread or would i need new ones.

If i need new tires i'd probably go 18 inch if they'd fit.

+40mm is way too low for 18's and 17's. cool wheels though.

yups, they are gonna rub

 

[CChris704]

oh yeah, 45 offset for the 18's i believe, will that fit or am i still screwed?


dammit, i just want to have a nice looking car like you hawaii

if you are dropped at all I would reccommend a 5X114.3 +48mm on a 18 X 7.5 rim w/ 215/35/R18 tires.

The more offset the better. You could probably get away with +45, but I would go +48 just to be safe.

 

[CChris704]

what kind of offset would i need for a 17 inch rim? still 45 to 48 or is there more le-way on smaller wheels?

here are some enkei evo5's that i really like, would any of these sizes fit, 17 or 18. Sorry I really suck when it comes wheels (dunno). I would really like some dark bronze wheels if possible since it hasn't been done on a silver msp that i know of.

2 guys have/had bronze wheels on silver protegesin Houston, one MSP and one P5. It looks really good with the right wheel

 

[CChris704]

there any pictures of the bronze houstin msp? i'd love to see it. lol, i guess i'll be the first in illinois


i hope.

Search for pictures of Equinox's P5. There are a few floating around before and after he sprayed the front end gunmetal.

Perhaps I am old fashion but nohting looks as good as some bright ass silver wheels to me. I am not a fan of the grey, black and bronze wheels. It just dones't demand the same attention.

i'm with you on that!

 

[CChris704]

oddly i always think about silver on silver in the back of my mind but there has never been many rims that i think would go well with the car... there are some rev's on a group buy that i am interested in i'll be photoshopping those in a bit. I'm thinking eithe rthe evo5's above or possibly these revs...

That's the point. Sleek, low-key and fast takes flashy every time.
