If you get the 15x6.5" wheel you need a 40-42mm offset 4x100 bolt pattern. Make sure you get conical lugs instead of spherical type.

thanx...i'll probably more or less get the lugs that Spoon is offering on their site to be safe

It's approximately 100 yen per dollar. You're looking at about $390 per wheel. For that price, you could get a set of Rota Slipstreams which look just like them.

I'm actually looking at buying those very wheels for my Del Sol. My OEM wheel size is 195/60-14. I'm looking at either the Slipstreams in 15x6.5 or 15x7, but not sure which one I should go for. I want to make sure the wheels aren't too wide under the wheel wells that they rub. I'm sticking with a 40mm offset, but not sure which tire size I should get beyond that.

If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. :biggrin:

Those are really purdy, nice choice!:bigthumb:

Don't waste your money on spoons. Go buy some slips instead. That way you can actually afford to replace a rim if you bend one. I'd run 205/55/15, a 205/50/16, or even a 215/45/16. I'm running 205/45/16 parada spec 2's on my rotas right now and I find they don't quite have enough sidewall, even though they do grip very nicely. As soon as these are done i'm moving to some 215/45 Falken Azenis.

39,000 yen is like $8
:biggrin:

i didn't know they were that much:eek: i thought that price was for the set:dupe: :banghead: :rofl: but i guess the slips are second best...do they come in black??

Yeah, for the comparison in looks I'd also go for the slips.

See where it says unit 1 pieces? Yeah, that means it's per wheel :wink:

Slipstreams come in black, gunmetal, gray, gunmetal with polished lip, bronze, white, silver, and I think a few others.

Here 'ya go -- Rota Slipstreams in different available colors:
