Thinking to get some new rims. XXR 002 16x8 wait for it..........ET 0 biggrin.gif Its got great dishh.
Its going to be some work to get them fit real nice, but the pay off for the stance will be so good.

What do you guys think?

The Diamond Racing Steelies aren't too bad. I think the 15x8 is 18lbs each. My
SSR's are 16x7/ 16x8 and they weigh 15 each, so 3 more pounds (or 12 more all around) isn't bad.


And low offsets aren't a "fad", if anything time attack is a fad (black wheels w/ red lip). People have been doing dished wheels for a long long time. What the "fad" is, is taking wheels that stick way out past the fender and loading up on camber to get them into the wheel wells. A proper fitting set of wheels might require a fender roll and from a performance aspect you would want a degree or so of negative camber. Make no mistake, there is nothing more attractive about a car than a proper fitting set of wheels. I mean, look at the Del Sol I posted. 9 times out of 10 I hate Del Sols, but that one looks incredible with those wheels.
