what do you guys think? would these look decent on my 85 gsl? car is yellow with an air dam, skirts, and whale tail. i'll use 205/40/16 tires on em.

and yeah i know i'll need to get wheel adaptors, or swap my suspension to -se

I would be worried about the curb rash on that one wheel. It may be more than a little scraped. Other than that, not my style.

 

Is it worth all that effort, time, and money to adapt for those wheels? 16" is the largest I would go with wheels for a FB. Anything bigger looks...out of place.

 

yeah they look good

 

Possibly. I dont know about on a yellow car, but Ive seen a similar design on a dark colord car and liked it.

17's and lowered. 205/40/17 on 17x7 F 215/40/17 on 17x7.5 R Well thats what I have sofar.... Not on car yet... = )

I like your wheels man. Now Freeze the bids... I would like to see them on your car!!!

 

i know they would look cool on my -se tho, thanks for the tip lol



just kidding im not going to bid on them. i think 16's is about as big as i would go on a 1st gen, i had thought about 17's untill i saw some pics and decided its just not for me.

if you do get those and decide to change over to the -se suspension let me know cause i might be parting one of mine out.

 

as far as adapting to these wheels...i would rather spend $200 for a set of adaptors that open up a huge selection of wheels for sale, which i will probably save, rather than paying top dollar for 4x110 wheels that hardly ever come along.

of course, swapping to gsl-se suspension is another option.

as far as my choice for 16" wheels...since with the proper tire sizing, using 205/40/16 tires would leave the overall diameter the same as a 13, 14, or even a 15. i know that i definately want 40 series tires, so if i were to go any smaller than 16, it would ride way to low to the ground when you factor in lowering springs.

if you go 17, now the overall diameter is bigger than stock, and you start to raise the entire vehicle higher than it should be. unless you can get a smaller than 40 series tire, but you don't usually see 35 series till you hit 18" tires.

 

interested...let me know if you do in the near future....and how much

 

They'd look good if they were 16's

 

too modern for your old school car. Don't know what size they are, but 15's fill up the front and 16's fill up the rear.

 

I like 'em. Simple and clean.

FWIW I ran Enkeis on Pamela (and plan the same for Carmen) and suddenly people thought I was driving a new car. It's all about finding rims that flatter, rather than contrast with, the FB body style.

Shiny new Savannah badges on the flank help too, but unfortunately my supplier has vanished on me

 

Eh, No lip on them whatsoever..

FWD Rims on RWD Car = Looks like Crap.

 

Depends on the design, DF. My Enkeis were meant for Hondas, and stock SE rims have very little lip...

 

True..

BTW, Are you planning something evil that you haven't shared with the rest of us? (Something with boost maybe?)

 

Carmen is an evil little ****, isn't she

 

they are 16
