IM LOOKING FOR RIMS FOR MY SEVEN.ITS GOT A FLARED KIT ON IT ASIDE FROM A SHITLOAD MORE, BUT ANYWAYS IT LOOKS SILLY WITH THE STOCK GSL-SE WHEELS. I WAS THINKING 16 OR 17 INCHES IN THE FRONT AND 16X10 OR 17X10 FOR THE ERAR. IM HOPING THAT 10 INCHES WIDE WONT BE TOO WIDE AND MAKES THE TIRES HIT SOMETHING. ILL HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT. ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BE ASSISTED WITH THIS MATTER??????

in the gslse bolt pattern 4x114.3 you are seriously limited in your choices especially for the sizes you need...you may wanna consider getting adapters for 5x114.3 then you will have endless choices....

spacers will give you the same bolt pattern and change the offset of the wheels you need,



adapter, on the other hand, will give you 5 bolts other than 4 bolts.



what kind of power are you pushing that you need 10" wheels on that tiny car?

yeah just so it looks nice. i guess 10 inch is too much, maybe 8 inch instead. the car is probably a little over 200hp. never dynoed it. i want to put a supercharger in it. just have to find a kit...

What is your motor setup, north of 200 hp na? Just curious. If you have an sE, just do the respeed big brkae kit, I did it on the fronts and rear, a littlle over 1k for everything, then you have 5x114.3 bolt pattern. I am running 17x7 and 17x8 5zigens, 215 on the front and 235 on the rear. Looks really cool, then you can pickup any wheel style you want.
