just a warning but most of these cheap wheels have a far too low offset to fit on an SE :(
|
What is the offset on the 1st gen se?
|
38mm, iirc.
|
so too low offset, does that pull the wheels in too far, or push them out too far?
|
too low = 'pushed out too far' they would probaly fit if you had a wide body kit .... but to run a wide body kit and run wheel no wider than you can fit under standard arches with the correct offset is madness.
I have 7" wide wheels on the front of my FB with a 38mm offset and the clearance to the strut is a fraction of and inch ... not a lot of room on the arch side either ! I would suggest 40mm is safer for 7" wide wheels. earlier cars are going to need somthing closer to 20-25mm offset (i.e a little more of a lip on the outside depending on the design of the wheels) |

lol@konigs
i used to run with Konigs on my turbo S2000, had 2 fracture at a track meet and one began to fail on a dyno, now i stick with BBS or stock rims, KONIG's are garbage |
i've had no problems with the konigs on my civic. :shrug:

To settle this once and for all: Watanabe RS-8 MADE BY Speed Star Racing (SSR) Watanabe DOES NOT make a 3-piece rim. Got some on my Rx2 in 4x110 PCD.

I was going to get some rewinds but i got a great deal on Pansport Ultralights and tires.

|
