Ok I am have about $1500 to put into rims.I might be able to convince my lady to let me go higher but that would be wishfull thinking https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

So it looks like the only thing that I can afford new that I like are the Volk gram lights.

Does anyone know of somone with these on their Fd?

Also I need help picking the size. I want 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 or 10 in the rear.

So what offset do I need and which tire size? I dont want to run around on rubber bands either.

TIA https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Taking my ideas huh? Those are the wheels I am getting...eventually.I think you can do 17x9 with a 45 offset all around. Check the other forum;)



I'm gonna get 18's though just to out do YOU https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Please do vosko, I am pretty sure that I am gonna buy a set here in this coming month.

FikseRxSeven 03-10-2003 10:36 PM

they look good, paint them gold and they look like the mazdaspeed rims

Fd3BOOST 03-10-2003 10:38 PM

No i would go with a traditional silver.

FikseRxSeven 03-10-2003 10:43 PM

well, i didnt suggest that you paint them gold, i was just saying that if you do paint them gold they will look like mazdaspeed rims. not really a big fan of gold or bronze rims......... but now that i picture it, it would have looked pretty good on montego blue

Those look pretty cool. Even though I've never been a big fan of black wheels on a black car..

Check some of the links on this website for proper offset choices Wheel Fitting Sources https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



The Gram Lite 57Pros you chose are pretty flexible for offsets. Anything from +52mm to -6mm in 1 mm increments. At least in the 18". Rays Wheels I don't think the 17" is available with custom offsets.



I like them, as well as the OZ Superleggera. The Superlegerra is a little bit lighter, but the 57Pro is available in wider sizes with more offset.



With 8" front & 9" rear widths you're usually looking at 235/265 combination 9.5 or 10 in the back would fit 275

I got this on my silver 93. In bronze though. 17x8 i'm pretty sure they are 43 offset. ..it took 2.5 months to get here. Too bad I don't have a digi cam ....
