Do ya'll think Gold rims would look good on a 10th aniv white FC? The rims are Konig Feather 17", 7 1/2" wide. A friend is selling them cheap and I cant pass up a good deal. Thanks

 

white and gold look real good

 

What's the offset on them?

 

I'm thinking that a 6 spoke would probably look the best.

Gold wheels would look sharp on black and white 7s

 

The offset is 45, the tires are 215 45 17.

 

My friend is coming by this weekend to test fit the rims. They are 10 spoke. I hope they look good. If I get them I will get my stock rims repainted and new skins for them. I will get a pic and post it so you all can help me decide.

 

I dont think you should buy them... What car were they on before? Was it by any chanceFWD like a Civic or a mini cooper? That offset sounds very "front wheel drive only" to me. But then didnt the MR2 have +42 offset?

 

stock offset is 40MM. 45MM offset for 7.5 wide rims will not fit without adapters. Unless you are running on coils then you might have a bit more inner clearance.

Here is mine w/ mostly gold rims.


And this pic shows them right after the car wash. They sparkle in the sun!

 

no. Black is better for a white car.

i take it your looking for something like this:




imo SEXY AS ****

 

The rims and tires are brand new, he is a rim ***** with a honda.I will test fit them and check the inner clearance, if it is too close, I will not buy them. I'm still not sure I will like the color. We'll see. Thanks all

 

You already got the pic?? Let me see..

 

We test fitted the rims today and the +40 offset is too close to the strut. I will not be buying them. Here is a pic to show how it looked.

 

good thing you didnt buy. i like the stock 10ae look. very classic

 

I think I will just get the stock rims repainted and get some nice tires for them.

 

here are my 16X8 bbs rims, it would look perfect if i slammed my car

 

yes.

 

Gold almost looks good on any color

 

Gold works really well on white, I'm planning on picking up a set of gold 17s for my white celica.

 

hey those look like my rims:

WOW, thank God you didn't buy those wheels. How ugly and the offset is for FWD cars. I agree with the guy who said keep the stock 10ae wheels. That is unless you actually spend some serious cash on nice wheels.
