18" Lorenzo wl21 rims....need help/advice
What do you guys think of these rims? I found someone with a set brand new selling them for a good price and was thinking of maybe buying them for my FD.
Rims are:
Front: 18"x8.5" offset 32mm
Rear: 18"x9.5" offset 35mm
Bolt patern" 114.3mm
Quick question, would this offset require the rear lip to be rolled?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Don't listen to wannabe FD drivers.^^^^
Get someone to photoshop them on a red FD for you. You should also look into exactly what size the lip would be on the offsets you are looking at. Often the website pics are of the rim with the largest lip but not reflective of what they look like in other sizes.
But if I had a red FD I would be looking for a set of Gram Light 57pros in gold. I'll see if I can find you a pic.

The Enkei RPF1 group buy is another option, here is the link to the group buy:

think i might just steal them off IAN's 2nd gen one day
other than that, ECMoney those lorenzo's look pretty good, but i just can't imagine them on a stock looking red 3rd gen
oh actually, i could attempt to photoshop the lorenzos on your 7 for you if you want, pm me pictures of your car at different angle and i'll see what i can do

took about 10 mins to do this to my car, just let me know if you want me to try it on yours,
my car sits extremely high on the front end, (silly me mixed up the profile size numbers with front and rear when i ordered the tires through email),
it will look very different and probably better on your car with a lower front stance, i could also edit the lighting and contrast of the rim to make it
match your photo depending on how lazy i feel when im doing it.
oh and don't mind the extra set of bolts on the rim edges, thats just reflection of the original set
lol i got no brakes, bahhh who needs brakes, full speed ahead!!

I have a buddy who works with photo shop every damn day of his life. I asked him months ago if he could change this to a black fd so I could get an idea what it might look like. Do you think you can do it??

Nice photoshoping!! haha
Can you also photoshop the Enkei RPF1's from the group buy link (gun-metal colour) and the Gram Light 57pros in gold and silver. Sorry to be a pain, looks like you can do it quickly and it would really help in my decision.

Attached is a pic of my car before I bought it, only exterior addition I did was add the front lip. Obviously I would buy lowering springs when I buy the tires/rims.

Here are those ssr professors I linked above on a red fd.
Below are 5 zigen FN01RC in 17 x 10 +35 offset. Look more like 18s to me. The fender lips were rolled but not pulled. Over 9.5 inches have a great concave look.
