They look best with a RWD offset where the lip compliments the mesh-style. Additionally, these styles will tend to look much smaller due to the spokes extending more than an inch from the edge. Since the styles appear smaller, it's very common that BMW / MB owners will buy 19" or 20" with thin rubber. The sacrifice is additional rotating mass.However, many of the German cars make enough power to move the bigger wheels.

Lookin good is priority. Plus, only ethusiasts can appreciate JDM. Many people probably won't even know what they are.

Sorry, but there's not 1 nice set amongst those.
But, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I like that type of rim on a TSX. I think it depends on the color of the TSX, amount of drop and how much rubber is on the tires. IMO these types of style of rims move more to the luxury side compared sporty side, which I like. It reminds me of growing up in the 80s and BBS was the hottest rim around.

If I had the $$, I would of gone with 18" or 19" instead of 17" with OEM tires.

I think I'm too old school. I would stick with black, chrome or polished for CGP. Bronze is kinda on the outer edge for me.

those regamasters/spoon wheels only look good on a s2k or integra IMO, the rota's have just worn out that style.

the mugens are beautiful, but do they even make the mf-10's anymore, you have to find a used set

Happy Juice,

I like the style of the wheels, but they are going to look smaller than what they are because of the surround on that lip.

How come you are looking towards the mesh style again? I figured since you sold your other rims that were similar, that you would be looking for a change maybe. I don't know just curious

rota has definitely taken its tole on most of the classic rim styles. do you have any suggestions on other rims? since you obviously dont agree with the ones i've posted. MF-10's i dont really have a problem locating. but there is a problem with the size. i've only seen 17's which one of my friends is selling so i could get those easily. i tried the 17's on today and i donno....i think i'd have to lower my car a large amount for those to look good

if you could find a set of those that would be sweet, bronze on CG for me at least hehe

but yeah a decent lowering and some 225/45's will make those things sweeeeeeet.

And BTW those mesh wheels u first posted, are very nice, I would rock those.

Good luck!

once again these are just temporary rims i suppose. i do plan on getting another set but i'm saving up for it. and i havent really found a set that i'm perfectly happy with. still looking. but for now i think the weds will be fine but we'll have to see when they come in.
