need opinions on vip style wheels

As the title says, I wanna know what you guys think about two sets of wheels for my ssm fit.

First set: SSR Vienna Kreis 15x7 +32
Name:  takako1002-img300x400-1214285534bd6.jpg
Views: 2730
Size:  34.6 KB

Second set: Work Euroline 15x6 +30 and 15x6.5 +32 Staggered
(The strange thing about these is, why would the fatter wheel have a higher offset? Normally with staggered wheels, the fatter wheel has the lower offset because it is going in the rear of the car, correct?)

The wider wheel has a higher offset because the wheel is .5" wider generally the wider wheel will have lower offset but in this case I'm not sure. The wider wheel will go in the rear regardless.

i think the two should sit about the same and be flush with each other.

As for choosing both are good choices for VIP styled wheels a little small for my VIP liking/styling but they should do the job fine. personally i would look for something a little wider with those offsets or lower.

IF you dont mind me asking where did you find these at?

yeah, I guess I shouldn't worry too much about the difference in offset. I know they might be a bit small but its hard to find 16 inch versions of each for some reason, and 15 inch tires are so much cheaper. What do you think of the chrome finish though? And I found them on yahoo auction japan, through a site called japanbid2u

Not a fan of chrome unless you have the chrome accents to go along with it.

I really like full polish though!!

yeah, I could always get them refinished. Supposedly the chrome on the work wheels is shit anyway. I was actually gonna get chrome accents possibly tho. It seems really hard to find a used set of non chrome eurolines

I have 18's for sale....lol

anyways with those auctions...they don't deal with non Japanese bidders. So you will need an agent to buy them for you. Than you have to pay for that fee, and than pay for shipping so all in all...I don't know if it'll be worth it to you.

the chrome look depends on your color but it should look good. I have a few jdm chrome parts coming so, i'm blinging...hehe

Ok guys, I finally came to a decision. After over a year with the fit and no wheels, switching between "track" style and "vip" influenced, I have finally decided the route for my car. Wait, did you actually think I was gonna tell you which ones I ordered? Pshht. Wait and see.
