16" rims suggestions?

[fatti03msp]

This thought was always in the back of my head, but after seeing justinlansdale car and me finally getting coilovers im going to drop to 16" rims. So i was wondering if you guys could throw out some suggestions. I dont want to spend a ton of money on them cause im trying to save up money to pick up a set of FD wheels for track.

Thanks in advance, im partial to 5 and 6 spoke. I have been looking at rota's slipstreams (i think thats what they are called)

just get the FD rims and paint then black, haha.

I want to get 16" x 8" but non FD rims but no luck on finding good looking ones

why do you want to go to 16's??????

 

[justinlansdale]

16"s are the way to go, check my siggy (i'm running 5Zigen FN01R-C's in 16x7" +42) and they look so much better than the bad offset 17" racing harts that came with the car, IMO! car looks much more aggressive with the smaller wheels with the better offset and you can run a lower stance!

go with a set of kosei K1's in 16x7 +42! thats my next wheel setup

I've always been a huge fan of RPf1s, especially 16". Rota slipstreams are a good choice to, avarela86 has them on his car in 17"s.

i dont know s*** about rims lol, ill have to start reading up them haha, hence y i was asking for some suggestions, anytime you look for rims online you always get the sites that sell nothing but off brands and they tell you no info at all about the rim like the weight and offset.

We've got a set of Slipstreams for the Miata and they are great wheels. I've also got a set of 15"x7" Enkei RF-1 wheels for the P5 and Spicy and they look really good, but they are 10 spoke.

not bad looking, just not my style thats all. i like to have a lil lip on my rims.

I'm running Enki OS52's 16x7 +42 offset on My ES with a 215/40/16 I do want some track wheel but those will be a 15x7 with a 225/50/15. Nice and light weight and it Handels awsome. I hate 17's and I realy wish that I got the 15's insted of the 16's. But damn those Enki's look sick

 

[protegebro]

What are these?

 

[zoompastu]

I think those are cheap wheels not try to be a jerk just mean that they'er a budget aluminum wheel. they look good though. bet they're kinda heavy too

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

Justin what size are your tires......they look tiny

 

[Outlawstar98]

I think I would go with 16" rims if i had coilovers....

 

[fatti03msp]

that was my plan, but if i pick up a set of MSP wheels before i get 16's then im going that route. All depends on what happens first.

 

[BadBandar]

enkei rpf1 would be my first choice. Yea if u got coilovers 16" would look great. Ive been looking at some Rota SVn to replace the stock msp wheels.
