Cool thanks, now my problem is getting this duche to answer his phone! I called .left a vm. And 7 hours later I left a txt. A buddy of myne called also..no luck either.

But yeah the center caps isn't a biggie..I mean I. Might be able to find em online w some luck.

SO i finally got a hold of the seller of

And he said he doesn't know the bolt pattern! sweet!
BUT, he said they do fit a 97 cavalier: which i found is 5x100.
Chances are it wont fit (obviously). But im trying not to believe the reality of it because it would have been a good deal.
Can anyone please say im wrong, and they will fit?! haha

Although, more interested in these: just dont know how bad they are.

5x114 - ASA R1's - gold with silver lip

ASA R1's - 17x7
Offset: +52mm
Backspacing: 5.95"
Weight: 20.3lbs

"i got them custom painted - gold with silver lip.
pics are how they looked on my mazda 6.
one of the rim has a 1inch crack/bend on the lip - is fixable - talked to detroit wheel and tire
$200 for the set with the rubbers - nearly bald "

SO i know these will fit perfectly, But, i emailed him to see how bad the damage is..
and told to include pics.. il post them when/if i get them.

Edit: i wonder if he's on here? any one know a zcherian?

Are the rims on the white eclipse the actual rims? If so, STM is a local shop here in Rochester. They are pretty well respected and do some pretty darn amazing work with evo's. They even bought a Mazdaspeed protege as a winter beater/new project. I would trust that whatever description they give of them would be pretty acurate. My .02.

yes the rims are the actual ones posted. I got the pic from the link posted above description.

As for rochester, I think you may have mistaken me for living in NY, im in Rochester Hills Michigan. lol

And i doubt the guy w the eclipse went alll the way to NY for a tune lol. Maybe, but idk.

 

[Balls]

No, I know you are in michigan lol. I was kinda surprised to see a STM picture here, and seeing as how they are a local shop that I have dealt with I thought I would give my .02 to try to help you with your decision. That is all.

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Taus, you have terrible taste in rims other than the ones on that 6...lol...just my opinion...

[Taus-MP5]

I knoww I know, its not that its bad taste, its just limited. Haha I'm worlin w what I got..

 

[Taus-MP5]

And I've seen those wheels also, but the color makes me want to puke, and they don't even look all that great. Kind of repulsive to me idk...

 

[ScratchNSniff]

He said they are much darker than in the pics...

 

[Taus-MP5]

guy still has them, but flat on one tire...so id have to buy a 215/35/18..hmm

wow that protege looks like a monster truck with those wheels on. with those wheels (or any aftermarket ones for that matter) on a p5 you need a drop to make it look good. i hope the offset isn't that low because with 18s it'll be really really close. the tires are the correct size but it looks like you are going to need to get new ones any ways.

my piece of advice is to make sure these are the ones you want because if you get them you are basically stuck with them. when I got my wheels i searched for 6 months before I decided upon mine. patience is huge when it comes to a big investment like this. just saying!

 

[Taus-MP5]

^ I understand... (and i have the WORST patience..) WEll since i got ahold of the seller, he said that he would be near my next weekend (he lives 4 hrs away from me, in same state!) So i might go check out the Gold ones off the M6 tomorrow, after i get it lifted to check some stuff, and maybe replace my pads.

Thanks again for the tips! Appreciated.
