I've got a set of these in 14"x6" in unknown offset:



They came on my silver 84 GSL parts car. With the fenders rolled over, they just barely had enough clearance with 195/65R14 tires. I took the tires off and scrapped them cause they were crap, but the car was lowered too. Once I clean up the rims, then I'm going to put some 205/60R14's on them, hoping they won't rub. I might have to go 195/60 up front then 205/60 in the rear, but I'll get them on. The rims actually look real good on a black or silver car, and they have a different center cap then that. Its a much better looking one, not quite as prominent.

Ya, thats what most people would do with them, but I liked them a lot on my silver parts car. I put them on my 82 to see what they would look like, and I loved them even more. I may be in a small crowd here, but I think they fit the car nicely.

To say the least, they are a very hard find. Called Epsilons.

Think outside the box sir, check out Hellaflush.com and you'll know why people like the "Rims Sticking out"

It's not just the lowrider scene doin it...

You just bumped a 5-year old thread to tell them about a website that was only a few months old at the time like it's something they should have known about. C'mon.
