Rims!! need Advice!!

[dice03.5]

i got a 03.5 MSP blazing yellow. the RH's are dinged up, and i was running a WRX behind a shoppin center. never been there before... 2 lanes turned into 1, i hit a curb dead on at about 90. needless to say, i am looking for new rims... keep it under $600 for a set. 17's...

Show me the pics!! i browsed all day looking for yellow MSP's with rims OTHER than the RH's. obviously, they are rare, and gorgeous, so i didnt come up with s***. Help me?

p.s. i painted my calipers Yellow also...

I'm not a big time rim person

but I'm sure a black rim of some sort would look really good on the yellow

and do you have pics of what's left of your rims?

You were doing 90 behind a shopping center? Against a WRX? So you got your ass beat AND totaled your wheels. LOL, not too smart. Sorry, but the combination is just too funny.

you could at least make an offer.

Or my FAVORITE WHEELS that are in your price range (im gettnig 18's but the 17's fit in your price range..)

Look like volk te-37's... right offset and everything... 540.00 for a set. Your choice of color, I think the bronze, and gunmetal would look badass with the polished lip... But i'm a man of simplicity and I say that the hypersilver would just look fuggin hott. And thats whats gonna go on my yellow msp. (rockon)

Get them and tons of other raze wheels in your price range here:

well a little searching couldn't hurt, but i'm a nice guy so here ya go...

Stock MSP size is 17 X 7.0 + 55mm offset at 5 X 114.3 bolt pattern. 5 X 114.3 and 5 X 110 are the basically the same. so rims with either bolt patern will work. On those raze wheels, you would need the 10 X 114.3 (its a universal application wheel basically, 10 is the same as a 5, just more bolt holes)

For 18's you need at least a 48mm offset to be safe with 7.5 in wheels. On 17's... ummm i have no clue. *edit* i did the searching fo ryou... On 17 X 7.0's you need at LEAST +42mm but +45mm and above is perferred to prevent rubbing. Most wheel shops can shave rims to the appropriate offset, so i would call around and see what they can do for you in case you find rims you love and can afford, but are the wrong offset. (MSP's are terrible to find rims for, no one really makes +48mm wheels that much)
Hope this helps a little. (rei)
