I think it'll look mint on your car, here it is on mine, couldn't find a side view of your whip to use, but you get the idea. I love this style and color. This was a quick job, with some rubber bands rechopped to be 17's



They remind me of ninetysevenCL's old rims

Just my personal opinion, I would go with 205 / 40 / I have those now, and I hate them...HATE THEM....let me just tell you I hate them. I would suggest going 45

Shoshinsha_KiDs_CL, what's the setup you were/are running? You mentioned staggered.

anyways, i'm running a 215/45 on a 17x7 40 offset and it sit's way to far in for my liking. what the difference between what you're looking at an what i've got? would it sit more flush or about the same because the rim is wider?

I like the rims, with exception of the center area (I'm not a fan of colored spokes with a silver center section). but they look clean, te37 design is pretty classic

oh, and how much did you sell the volks for?

I know you don't want stagger, but these Works take the cake for 17's:

http://www.rbwheels.com/index.php?ma...73cefbe3557ca8

I woulda went with those, since they'd probably have absolutely perfect fenderwell filling out characteristics, but on retrospect, 17's kinda look a bit too small if you're running rubber bands IMO

Man, too many CL's have that style, I like it, but I'm so sick of seeing it. Get something else.

I have seen those wheels in person, all I can say is cheesy.

www.zilvia.net if you want a set of 18x8 buddy club bronze six spokes.

Some dude had them on an S13 and wants a very reasonable price for them.
