i need some suggestions on what rims would look good on my 88 vert. maybe some pics from you guys and your cars would help out.

The 15" BBS RS Type "Basketweave" wheel that came standard on the convertibles.

hehe, just messing with you, although I do think stock vert wheels are very nice.

Suprisingly, I have seen people use other FC wheels, like S4 and S5 TII wheels, which are a 16" and look quite good.

yeah, stock style wheels usually look pretty good.

I liked the look of the T2 wheel on the vert, but they are so damm heavy:

"Vert" wheels are the ****.

Sorry to hijack but : Icemark i know you've done this... would you recommend a 225-50-15 tire on a "vert" rim? Would it be -better- than a 205-60-15 (factory size) tire?

I remember having problems with tire roll-over in hard corners with 225-50-15's on my GXL wheels (6" wide compared to 6.5" wide(vert)

Thanks

When I had 225/50/15s on my GXL rims, there wasn't any noticable rollover in hard cornering, but I never chalked the tires either. I'm pretty sure with that extra half inch that there will be little to no rollover.

I was researching rims for my 88 vert but decided to go with stock BBS rims for a while for some reason. Anyway, I think BBS-ish mesh rims look good on vert.

Yeah, the BBS rims are attractive and are super light. I want to get a set for my car too for autocrossing.

Icemark

The 6.5" width of the vert wheel should stop that. That extra 1/2 icnh does make a difference.

A 225/50 on a 6" is a little big of a tire for a wheel width that small.
