      Another Rim Opionion Discussion!

      Ok, as of current, and you saw from the last Post, Those are the wheels i have. Sportmax 002's 15X8 +0 offset


      Im Thinking, because i love the look of the wheels that are on it right now, about getting a 15X7 +38 offset of the same
      Silver
      or
      Gunmetal to try and complement the steel grey body color of the car.

      Im also looking at the Drag DR16 in a 15X7 +40 offset...eww


      Im torn, and either way, with the tires im getting, it will be about $750

      Input?

      I'm with AveoSam on that one, I think the gunmetal would look really good with the color of the car.

      how much do the 15x8s stick out? i would think you could do less extreme than a change from 15x8 et0 to 15x7 et38 because it is taking 2" off the lip of the wheel. Do your wheels stick out more than 2 inches?



      i think the gunmetal would look good too, with the polished lip.

      the 15X8's with a +0 stick out 2.2 in. in the rear and 2.5 in. in the front...

      I decided on Black Drag DR16's 15X7. Falken Azenis RT-615, and H&R springs.

      Purchased, and waiting on them to get here!!!

      They are +40 offset... if i dont like the stance... H&R Spacers!!!

      this car will be a track car yet!!! Just waiting on performance Shocks and sway bars!!!

      similar to my Rota Circuit 8's



      Check the resale value, I went with the Rotas since they don't really lose any value if you want to resell them. Also, by going with a 205/50/15 tire the car looks sic and you are less likely to curb your wheels since there's so much rubber sticking out... also the car has some kickass grip as well... so much that you will be getting a fair amount of body roll, even with lowering springs.

      Tires I have are Kumho Ecsta SPT's. I have two track days on them and 30,000 miles. That's VERY impressive especially considering how much more life they have left.
