Subjective opinion of fellow fitfreaks for rims on my car please



using tirerack's view on my vehicle i copied and pasted them on to my car...

enkei edr9 performance series 16x7 +45 or +38 offset

the springs are on their way. T1R V2 S-Coils.

ooh, those would look nice. The + 45 offset would work, but you might rub with the + 38. If you get the tires in the same order they usually mount and balance them on the rims free too.

yeah i would probably have to go with the +45 offset because i would most likely end up going with 205/45 tires... i really have a feeling i would rub with +38 with a car lowered 1.6" front and 1.4" rear

only like $130 a wheel... i feel like getting out the credit card right now

it would be nice to put a set of snow tires on my stock rims too

Get the +45 offset version for zero fitment problems. They look good

Looks pretty good, but you should add some colored lugs to make them stand out!

I like the looks. Do you know how much these weigh?

Definitely get colored lugs.

Agreed! Anodized red lugnuts would be good, to match the color of your GD's body. Not sure if there are any orange lugnuts around, but red would be a good alternative

hey just tuck the fender lining into the fender and call it a day with the 38mm offset. It will rub but very little.

haha you had one too, ironic... i never thought i was much into black rims either but this car is turning into a black and orange theme and it seems to work. headlights and foglight housings are black, and i will probably tint the rear signals darker. thanks for the feedback!

haha and it turns out they do make orange lug nuts

Great news! I like how bright the orange is on these lugnuts. They'll suit your ride just fine!
