Not sure how the mismatched centercap rings will look. Also not sure how much gold + your SSM Fit will clash, but overall clean throwback style rims nonetheless. Put them on already!

Also tires sizes play a big role, 14's and 13's SUCK when it comes to tire sizes. Theres only one or 2 companies that make decent sizes.

I wouldnt put them on until you got the coils.

I love the wheels. They dont like JDM to me, more Euro than anything as its a common style in Borbet wheels.

Whats the full size and offset on the wheels?
If its decent Id buy them off you. I know I could pull them off.

What I love about them is the thick 5 spoke and full face. They wont look like 14's with a nice tire size.
yea my car isnt slammed but my front wheels are tucking a lil. i will hopefully be getting coilover end of january.

the wheels are jdm im sure of it they have the stamp on them im not sure what the offset is cause the guy did even know but the wheels are 14x6. what tires would you suggest?

Theyre tucking because you have 16's.

The offset should be on the back of the wheel. Check in the center and on the back of the spokes.
My tires are 195/55/15's, Toyo T1R's. Be prepared as theyre hard to find in stock and arent cheap.

They do look similar to many 80's aftermarket wheels. They still look crazy euro to me.

Brad, 60's are too big. Im on 55's and I think thats big.
For 14's, its not too bad. I was going to get 195/45's but thats tiny. I couldnt drive my car.

wait4thefit, have you done a test fit? I never noticed but a few days ago while my wheel was turned I was checking my subframe. I noticed that my 14's are REALLY close to the control arms.

Good find there Nick. Yeah def like Ray said. Do a test fit before purchasing (assuming you didnt buy it yet) For color clashing of ssm/black/gold eh...... who cares lmao these days if your trying to make your car different then color clashing IS the new thing!

Toyo T1R's. Be ready for almost $400 in 14in tires.
Theyre the smallest overall diameter in 14in tires. Theres one other brand that has 195/55's but theyre HUGE.

Im still interested in the offset.

As for test fitment, you dont need tires to make sure theyll clear the brakes and control arms.
