I think they would look alight...
if your buying from ebay make sure you tell them you want 5 lug! That way you avoid them sending you ones that don't fit!

Re: What do u think about these rims?

The only reason I'm not lowering it is cause it's already sold to Anarchy1114. I'm not adding anything else to it unless I end up blowing the motor.

Re: What do u think about these rims?

Talking about lowering...what would be the recommended drop if you switch to 17 or 18" rims with a blitz body kit? It has to be at least 2 inches so it cuts an inch off the gap thanks to the larger wheel but I wouldn't want to drop it any more than I need to to avoid any nasty damage to the kit.

Re: What do u think about these rims?

Don't mind my math. I keep forgetting that the diameter of the tire will still be the same.
