Just playin man, I'm not a fan of those rims but if you are thats all that matters. I'm a 5/split 5 kinda guy so thats why. That 8" rim should help your silly FWD stuff too, I know that I used to be able to leave black marks at all four wheels with my blizzaks and stock rims, but when I got the 300zx rims with yokos she doesnt do much but go .

Re: NEW wheels!

Those seats are a pain in the ass to adjust when it comes to the angle. I hate the stupid knobs.

Re: NEW wheels!

Good thing you went with 5 lug rims or else I might have to say bad bad things about universal lug rims :P I love the OZ rims but the gunmetal gray look won't flow so well with my red/black mix.

No no..you know those honda rims with like 12 stud holes for a universal bolt pattern fit ? Well i've seen a few , little in number but a few 5 lug style with more than a sickening amount of stud holes and when you only have 4 - 5 lugs and 10 - 12 holes it just looks horrible.

Re: NEW wheels!

O I got you. That really repends on the rims you have. Mine have the universal fit and they look good. In his case they may not.

I can't stand the uni's just because of the simple and insignificant face that there are extra holes lol..like a bad woman or a good one in some cases ? lol..but as long as they are with the right application they can most likely look alright. I know some Konig's have a little plate that covers the lug area's for that reason and others i'm sure but those look clean and uniform when you can't even see the lugs.
