Pick My Rims For ME!!!

Ive been saving for about 3 wks to get a nice set of rims and you guys have some sick wheels on your cars. So help me buy mine!

All i want is a HELLA FLUSH look with either a good size lip in the back or a concave face. IM NOT GOING WIDEBODY, I am willing to roll my fenders but nothing past that.
Ill post a pic of the shell and you guys tell me what you think would look good on my baby. PLEASE INCLUDE WHEEL SIZE AND OFFSET.. THANKS GUYS

My budget is $850

1. Hellagay.
2. Why do you need to be told what wheels to get? Get the ones you want.

What Nate said. Hella flush is cool, but a budget of 850? Good luck. And yes, I know there are wheels out there, but for that price, they ate going to be hella heavy. Double your budget, then try again
hell, my tires cost that....

I really wanted the help with the width and offsets, and i just wanted see some suggestions and ive seen some wheels on here for sell for little above that price.. So lets be honest im not buying a brand new pair of volks and i dont think spending 1500 on just wheels is not too smart for me right now especially the car being just as old as i am.

In the end whatever pair of rims i purchase is ultimately up to me isnt it.... I just wanted to know what may look good on the car... There are alot of cars on here with sick wheels that are very random, wheels ive never seen or heard of. I just wanted to know what RX7 club thinks because the best 7's are on this website. So can you blame me for asking?

^ lol at the volks are ugly comment "haters gonna hate." If your budget is 800 you need to take "nice" out of your expectations. I'd go with xxr's or rota's with your budget and if your wanting something with a little lip take a look at the mustang reps. They look like there made of plastic but a lot of people like them.

Volks are sick just not wanting to spend that much... And ive seen the mustang reps, they look good but not for me.. Im not into domestics at all... The only rotas i like are the P45F's and the P45R's. I like alot of the rims that 87gtr sells (i think thats his name)...

I figured id get help but all i get is people rubbing in my ******* face that i cant buy decent wheels for under $1k..... When ive seen alot of sick wheels on here for sale for alot less.. WTF.. If your not going to help me with suggestions why the **** are you posting bull ****... And this forum useto have alot of cool people on it that loved to help others... Obviously thats not the same anymore... And thanks to the guys who did have some kind of suggestions...

MODERATOR PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD....

Take a lot at the FC wheel sizing thread in the Wheels & Tires section of our forum. Then find some wheels on Zilvia that are much lower offset than what we can fit. Nissans typically have much lower offset wheels than our Mazdas. Next, put tires on that are way too small for the wheel, but fit under your fender.
