???? Color me dense but I don't understand that.

 

 

^perfect.

So the wheel on the left has a + offset because the face of the wheel is towards the outside of the wheel.

The wheel on the right has a - offset because the face of the wheel is towards the inside of the wheel.

The center wheel has a 0 offset because the face is centered directly in the middle.

Now a wheel who face is close to the outside can still have a low offset because it is measured where the face bolts to the hub. So it could be thicker similar to how Damd Lover Souls are. A flat faced wheel that can have a low offset (i think the lowest I've seen was a +25 but the wheel is basically flat.

 

OK I am truly stupid here. What am I looking at when I am looking at those diagrams? Are those a map view of a wheel? So a low offset would mean the wheel face is very flat? Not like the ones where the middle of the wheel is WAY into the wheel? Am I at least close??? This is complicated if you aren't familiar with it.

 

those are cross sections of a wheel. The design of the face doesn't really determine the offset. The offset is just telling you where in the barrel the mounting surface of the wheel will sit. zero means its centered, plus is closer to the outside edge and negative is closer to the inside edge.

 

 

^ clean! im a big fan of those wheels trav

 

My DD/city warrior civic got stolen recently so I upgraded to the Fit. Now I've got two NHBP cars.

 

^YES! I love your s13 ( i think thats the right chassis)

 

It sure is, thanks

 

sorry to hear about the Civic, the Fit you wont have to worry about being stolen. I love your s13

 

 

my goodness what did you wax that with??? It looks like clear-coat's just been put on.

 

really? thanks. the car actually has not been waxed for a year or more. As much as I love the car the paint looks like shit, its swirled to hell and the front end is all rock chipped. I do still try to wash it every week

 

Yours too

 

I know, right? The damn paint is so cheap!!! You'd think something so minor in cost as a couple coats of paint would be easy for Honda and would leave buyers with a better feeling...never had a car that chips so easily.

 

like the orange bbs. would love to have a nhbp, but after seeing what happens to black cars like my girlfriends, i could never get one. you see every defect.

 

Thanks, yea black cars are a PITA to keep clean and looking good. When there all cleaned up and shiny though, the look amazing.

 

 

the cars looke so sexy together I had to take a pic
