Opinions on appearance.

Painted with duplicolor wheel paint.

Painted black. Not spraypaint. Stocker FTW.

jomo, are those the stock tires?

 

[Kansei]

stockers look gewd in silver. with some 5mm spacers they would look perfect.

When I ran my stockers (basically the first year of ownership) I ran with a 25mm front and 15mm rear spacer. It looks nice and mean like that.

No, not the stock tires. Some all season tires 205/50/16

How do spacers that large effect attaching the wheels to the bolts in the hub? Did you install new, longer ones to compensate?

 

[aMaff]

yeah, he'd definately need longer studs. Also, running spacers that wide put a lot of stress on the wheel bearing

Well the spacers were of the type that included supplementary studs. They were kinda $$, and one of the very first mods I did to the car.

toucci I'll see what I can do about pics. I'm at work right now so I'll see when I get back to my apartment around 6-ish.

I don't like the stock P5 wheels, but I am not big on the ones on your 5 either. I think the cleaner the better for our cars (i.e. simple design).

16 or 17 inch Rota attacks (and a few other models), 5 Zigens, Volk rays (on certain colors), and a few others look really good.

Those chrome wheels would look better with a little more rubber on them.

As for painting the stock wheels. I'm kind of partial to black wheels on a laser blue Protege5.
