    Default Need Opinons on new wheels

    I just got these wheels. I thought I was really gonna like them but not 100% sure.

    Is it the color? Or is it that I'm used to polished wheels? It prob doesnt help its a crappy cell phone pic too...

    imo i think them polished slips looked really good on it . everyone always tries to murder out a black car or dark wheels but them polished slips set it off just right, anyways these look good too

    I kinda like the polished slips better, but if you're gonna rock these i think you'll need spacers

    multi spoke wheels never look good to me in smaller diameters with high offsets. That same wheel in 18-19 with a 15 offset would probably look good(the wheel itself, not on your car). Slips looked much better.

    They look too small. I think sinfix is on to something.

    The car looks good to me, but I would prefer a lower offset style of the wheel. What size are they?

    15x7 with 44 offset (i believe)

    I put 1/4 inch spacers on the rear today and looks little better but if i have to do that.....its just not worth it.

    Ill prob sell just the rims for around $400 if i decide to do so.

    They look great. Assuming they're Works, you can't go wrong with a OG Jap wheel on a Jap car. Add some rear spacers and raise the rear end level or slightly higher than the front for a complete look.

    I wish I could still pull off 15's, so much better choices. Go with the 949's.

    Wheels are too small IMO. Color isn't a problem. I would almost go 17" on this body style.

    Offsets are all pretty high, more for S2K fitment.
