^^ thats why we're (mainly in the lounge tho) known as the "evil Forum"

And on retrospect, we're not that bad. Some forums eat their own young out of the womb. . . . .

It's not THAT bad man I think they look okay, just lower it and you're good to go. I'm sure they look good while rolling.

aznraver,

The important thing is "do you like the wheels?". Don't mod your car to impress people, mod your car for your own enjoyment. People will have opinions good and bad. Just be careful as when "showing" your ride, you are bound to have one or more negative comments no matter what your car looks like.

This is nothing. If you had posted in the Wheels/Suspension forum then you would have really seen the **** flying.

aznraver,

If you aren't set on keeping those rims, call Rishie at AutoRND: www.autornd.com/

He will work with you on finding the best rims to suit your needs and your wallet (as well as getting A+ fitment for the FD).

I think the fact that you said the word "fake", started all the responses. Lesson: Don't tell the forum they're fake!

Based on looks, I think they look okay. I wouldn't put 'em on my 7, but hey if you like it, that's what matters to you.

The Eclipse comment was actually referring to the (apparently) 7" width and P215 "meats". They looked a little narrow.

EDIT: They look pretty good on the car, though.

Maybe we should consider that...

And the rims are 18 x 8.5 all around with 225s...

Anzraver,

1. Expect the worst when asking others opinions.

2. Dont ask for others opinions.

The rims look way better than stock and if a better looking rim is what your were going for then you succeeded.

If you were trying to enter your car in the 24 hours of Leman's it may not be the best choice..but I imagine that wasnt your goal.

To the rest of you nay sayers..

Do you stop parents with ugly children on the street and let them know how ugly thier kids are?

Shawn

Manarays are fairly popular with BMW's, Acura's and Lexus. You have to remember that most of the FD crowd won't give your rims a second look unless they are Volks, Work, BBS or some of the others in the "approved" list regardless of how much you paid for them.

If you like them, enjoy them.

This is just my personal taste (im partial to them bc their lightweight, and look like sex). Me owning them as well doesnt hurt anything
