What rims? I think you're limited to the kind that your wheels come with...

BTW, both of those cars look retarded. I don't know why people jump the gun and post pics before they finish the body work.

The first pic looks like AME Circulars[sp?].
It's hard to say cause the pic looks photochopped, and the shadows and reflections in the wheel make it hard.

The second pic look like Blitz 02's.

SSR also made a similar design called Sovereign.

The later two are discontinued.
I dunno if AME still makes that particular design.

Now, are you made of money?
If you want offsets and widths to get that kinda look, it's going to cost you US$1,000 equivalent to get it landed in Norway!

Can you afford this???

Thanks for the info... any idea of the specs on these rims with, heigth and offset? Car parts are expencive in Norway and US$1,000 is not that bad for a set of rims.

Find the wheels first, and we can tell you if it fits or not.

Oh, sorry about the confusion on pricing...that should be US$1,000 PER wheel.

Just by looking at the pics, we're talking about 10" or wider with wicked offsets.

Just to give you an idea of what can fit...
10.0", +0 for fronts
12.0", +0 for rears

That car in the 2nd pic...
I've seen it somewhere in here...maybe in the Suspension section?
They offered the specs on those wheel.
Looks like negative offsets.
These kinds of wheel would require overfenders...
They will not fit under stock fenders.

Actually, it is helpful. Reason being that if you start saying "wheel" instead of "rim" it will help you sound less like a ricer.

Found the thread on that 2nd pic...

17x9.5 -7
18x10.5 -11

So the owner is running negative offsets...
