i know this has probably been covered before but i searched and couldn't find a very good thread for it so........
i'm thinking about getting some aftermarket wheels for my se probably some 15's.
if you have any suggestions or even better pics of what you're running that would be much appreciated. thank you.

p.s.
i don't really want any flashy bling rims but post yours up if you'd like.
thanks.

 

I Know we always say this but do a search. There is a lot of threads here with regards to rims and pictures.

Oh, and imo, go for at least 16".

 

Good size to replace stock SE 14's = 15" rim diameter, 7" width, and 38-40mm offset. This will keep clearance between the rubber and the spring and perch, but also give you a slight increase in wheel width and diameter without sacrificing performance through a huge weight increase which negatively impacts acceleration, braking, turning force, and unsprung weight during cornering.

A good tire size to go with this wheel is 205/50/15 in an aggressive tread pattern. You could probably go as wide as 215/50, but you're getting very close to interference between the tire and the springs in the front. HTH,

Edit: oh, yeah - you need 4x114.3mm or 4x4.5" - this is a very common 'import' bolt diameter and spacing.

 

ok thanks,
i did search but couldn't find a very good thread... maybe i just didn't look hard enough.

thank you

 

This is what I'm looking at:

 

old school centerlines





just recently reconditioned them. and yes, they are for sale! i'm currently getting the other pair done as well.

 

hah those are rad

 

Hey I am converting to SE suspension and looking for a set of SE rims, or decent aftermarkets..
I was looking at Konig Rewind, but they're too expensive for me right now.

 

I plan to go to 15" on my SE.... for some reason, the 16" wheels just don't look all in sync with the car to my humble eyes....

 

i'd like to get a set of these if they come in the offset for the SE http://www.konigwheels.com/images/430_b.jpg

or something similar. i think panas are too rich for my blood right now.

i also dig the basket weave bbs style. i saw some hot enkeis on a 12a fb before. i think they were 14". that would look rad on my car i think.

 

Those Koenigs are sweet! I haven't seen those before....

 

You can't go wrong with mesh

 

Just rub it in carl. . . I will be in the mesh club soon.

 

i know i just found out about them. i'm totally gonna get a set of the 15". just found some with a +40 offset.

 

That looks damn good!! You have good taste.

 

Most of the time my taste is too expensive!!! lol Thank you though!

 

those mesh ones and the koenigs are awesome
how much were either of them?

 

those konigs (in the 15x7 40mm offset) go for $480, new, on ebay.

 

whoa i'll have to chgeck it out.

 

is there a differant bolt pattern or anything between gsl-se and gsl?

 

GSL: 4x110
SE: 4x114.3

fake. american racing wannabeee centerlines look-a-like. the real ones will have a centerline tags near the lugs

 

even bettter! american racing!

btw. it doesn't say american racing on it either. maybe it's a combination of both... they merged in 1!

 

Get The Konig Rewinds...! Or if you have the money Panasports...They go very well with the car...I have an SE with Bronze Rewinds w/ polished lip...and another set of black with polished lip...and for $525 from T3 off of Club4ag.com
