Looking into some new rims Options

[Random_Stranger]

I really wanted to know what is the best offset, which I know there are threads that are about that. I may have to research those, but I wanted rims that look like these Enkei rims http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Enkei-Sc...sQ5fAccessories


However, I wanted 17x8's and in silver color and NOT universal looking, meaning I want exactly 5 bolts/pattern. Any recommendations, some with a good if not perfect offset? My friend had some BBS on his 2nd gen eclipse before it got killed by a honda (an idiot driver), and his tires were very wide and the wheels were flush and perfect on his. 17x7 just seems too small of a tire to me, doesn't give that aggressive look.

17x7 I would go with a 215 or 225/45R-17
17x7.5 = 225 or 235/25R-17
17x8 = 235 or 245/45R-17

Of course the wider the wheel the closer to the strut and fender you're going to be, so as you go to a wider wheel and wider tires you're increasing the chance of rubbing.


If you can find a set of CCW Classics I would buy those. You can look into a company called J-line and check out their stuff. I can search once I'm home from work - scouring the interwebz is hard from a cell phone.

I'll probably PM you some stuff this evening.
