is 800 a good price on them?
how much would you pay?
would u get them
would 17X7.5 +48 look gay on my FD? because i know stocks are 16x8 +50, so that's RETRACT by 4mm!!!
does anyone have a picture of their FD with 17x7.5

thx in advance!!!

 

Why would you get smaller rims (width) than stock? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting wheels?

 

Hell yeah they will look gay, that' a downgrade. If you can't afford to play don't play at all. Do it once and do it right.

 

No, because it looks like poo and performs like poo. Just say NO

 

Say no to pizza cutters.

 

"would 17x7.5 +48 look gay on my FD?"

Yes.

However, having said that you could make them work "somewhat". If you used 10mm spacers with them, they would look decent from the side. From the rear, it won't look all that great as you'll see how skinny the wheels really are... I bring this up as there was an older FD owner local to me. He's never been on this forum, and I don't think is a huge car enthusiast. However, he does have an FD. Anyway, I saw his car out on the street and it had some very nice polished wheels. But when I got behind his car, I could see they were extremely skinny.

Most people won't notice or care, but the typical "sports car guy" looks for big fat tires on sports cars.

 

The fact that they have 215 width tires mounted on them should tip you off..... besides that (and I know wheel choice is a personal thing) they look damn ugly to me.

 

Wow so much hatred for wheel that's only .5" narrower than stock. I'm so sure everyone will notice that on the street. Anyways, 225-45-17 will still fit that wheel just fine. Hell even the stockers are tucked in a lot.

 

You can get much better wheels for the same price, there is no reason to rush into it. Just take a little more time and find something you will be much happier with.

 

wow those are overpriced...
if you're gonna buy garbage wheels for a car, theres plenty under 400 with tires.

 

yes

 

yes, it would look hella sunk and hella rainbow

 

thanks guys! im not getting them

 

I couldn't help noticing your location...

 

lol thank you!
maybe i should just paint my car rainbow color instead of my current CYM LOL!!!
