Since they were used, we had no choice but 18's. I dont have a car. But the tl it is going on is ssm.

specs:
18x7.5 +41 offset. Goin to run 215 parada's all around.
and dropped on H&R sports.


btw the color of the wheels isnt my favorite. Whats the area for powder coating wheels these days? Is powder coating a good idea?

yea powder coating is the best way if you want to change the color or whatnot. My roommate powder coated his RSX rims himself and they look pretty darn good. All for $30 whereas it would cost around $200 at a shop.

41 offset is pushing it. Lowered suspension is gonna rub in the turns and the bumps.

yea i think 45 was the minimum for 18s i think. If you really want to powder coat the rims yourself let me know and i'll get my roommate to do a writeup for you.

18x7 will work with a +42 but you can't run more than a 225

215/45-18 will work well with those wheels and will be very close to stock diameter.

Those wheels look ok. Is the center of the rims white or hyper silver?

Rub a Dub Dub with that low of an offset. Hope you did your homework before you paid for them. You are going 14mm below the stock offset of +55mm. It's likely you will rub and your tires will stick out a little bit. Usually the minimum offset is +45 with an ideal offset of +48 or higher. Good luck, let us know how that turns out for ya

My dad bought them . I pretty much find parts and explain to him what they do or what they look like. But Im pretty big with cars.

Rite now Im trying to go public with my drfiting skills. Hopefully I can gey myself in a magazine and get noticed so when I drive legaly . I already have sponsors.

How rare are these wheels?

I agree...all but the piece of human shit part...but I find it hard to believe you are 13...and why the hell would your dad buy you rims to put on your non existent car? You should be out playing sports or something like that if you are really 13 - leave the "drifting" for when you have a car. oh well I really dont give a shit, just kinda weirds me out if you are really 13 and can get your dad to buy stuff like that for you

"Rite now Im trying to go public with my drfiting skills" you are talking about on playstation right?

Im a kid and kids can dream. My dad bought the wheels for his car. I hang out with all the guys at the local shop and I help them out and shit. Its kinda fun, but I lose a lot of socialness at my school. Its all worth it in my opinion. Wheels will be goin on the car by next week if everything goes rite.

bout the drifting. Yes, I drift(a real car) and Im not half bad. It doesnt hurt to start early. I wanna become a pro. .......but thats just a wish, so im sure it wont be happening. The car I use is a 96 240sx with stock ka.

ok I guess...but your dad is a jackass for letting you "hang out at the local shop" and cuss...dang I feel like an old man but I know my 13 year old wouldnt be 1)drifting 2)cussing 3)hanging out at the local shop.

I mean you should be focusing on what kids your age do...what kind of life do you think drifting will give you??? you obviously have dreams, which is great, (I did then and still do), but your dreams shouldnt take over your 13 year old life.
