Thats the link for the last set, theyre my first choice but the site says they wont fit my car, but I have no idea why

To fit FTOs the stud pattern has to be 5 * 114.3

A lot of those big chromies are 5 * 120 or some other pattern.

Some of those wheels look so damn heavy get some nice lighter 17s the ride comfort will be so much better than 18s or 19s. But really up to you it's your car after all haha

ahhk

Im not really interested in weight, i have no intension of it being fast lol just want them for looks

[I8A4RE]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont go big ugly chromies

[Sophia]

dont fret simon, I want black wheels, I never wanted chromies

[mr-charisma]

they look sweet as *the Rotas

[hugekim]

Yeah some people label Rotas as "Imitation JDM" rims because they do copy similar designs from Rays, Work, Mugen etc. But I hear they are extremely popular in the USDM scene because they are really good quality for their price (they are made in the Philippines I think, not made in China wheels)

Will these fit please please pleaseeee say yess!

[Sophia]

So I just re read this thread and accoring to what higekim said they will

thoughts? anyone?

[Kustom]

Yeah I think they will...

[hugekim]

Stud pattern is fine but the rears are too wide I think. 9.5 is quite huge... not sure if you can get them on without some custom widebody fenders.

Ask them if you can get all 4 wheels in 18 x 8.5 wrapped in 235 tyres. Usually I'm not a fan of those kind of places (e.g. Taleb Tyre specials) but those actually look pretty good. Good luck

[Sophia]

YAY!!

Any thoughts on the tyres?

Also when I get new wheels do I have to get new brakes? or do people do that simply for looks?

[I8A4RE]

Simply for looks. You can spray paint your calipers with can spray.

Also that package comes with tyres, Id be asking what brand. Stay away from nankang's.

[Sophia]

ahh awesome Ill spray mine black (if they already arent)
Yep will ask them that too, also, they say they arrive fitted and balanced, just wondering do I need to take these to a shop to get them put on? Or is that something I could get done at the DIY?

[I8A4RE]

Definitly something at a DIY day.

[Sophia]

SWEET! now to find a date when I can come

[Sophia]

ok so the jerk on ebay said he wont split them and that they only come in staggered sets, how much is it going to be for wide fenders? is it a lot of work? or pointless?

[I8A4RE]

pointless

[Sophia]

alrighty

So the hunt begins again
