vote on rims for my ride

[SHOGUN88]

Borbets definently!

 

[Sho Amo]

well it seems pretty unanimous.

still 20 pounds for a 17

3 or 4, I wouldn't rule out the numer 3 but I would go with the silver instead of black. Somehow the black takes a little bit from the wheel.

3 or 4.
Go with the widest wheel and tire possible. It looks better and handles better. Also i think 18's look killer on a SHO.

Here is my 18's on the 89 (old old pic)


And I took this pic a couple days ago of the 91.... I think it looks good

Nice pic, are you running 45 or 40 series on your SHO?

 

[DDakRT]

I'd go with the XL. Don't think a thin spoke wheel like the FS will look good on a gen I.

Side note, those AT are PORKY! 24lb for 16"?!?

wow thanks guys, aside form paint color this is one of the hardest choices i think to make for cars until you find "The One" What is the maximum safe offset i can allow for these rims, im chechking out some rims for the tbird search as one of you said and the offset is 45mm compared to these rims with a 40mm offset. thanks

I have the asa but made by hot wheels.
I like them a lot. there are not as easy to bend when hitting potholes or CURBS. lol
Go with what you think would look good on your car. You are the one driving it every day.

 

[SHO_DOODmorrris]

Yes/No? 28 LBS EACH!!! 45mm offset 18" rims 159 each

Another vote for Borbet FS

 

[SHO_DOODmorrris]

im kinda leaning towards the XL because they have a bit more fill, the fs are quite sarrow and i just not know how its going to turn out...

Exactly what I said.

I was looking at the ASA you posted at the end of the last page when I was shopping for wheels, they won't fit with 45mm offset however. It does look good in that pic but when I photoshop them onto a gen II and the sharp hard lines of the wheel looked odd on the car.

 

[SHO_DOODmorrris]

good to know thx

 

[Sho Amo]

what is the best offset for a sho. (hijack time)

tirerack says 42 but ive heard 40 and 38 are good

It really depends on the width of the wheel and size of the tires.

 

[kzoosho]

I have the italias on my Max.

 

[sho-n-tell]

definitely the 5 stars #4! they make my car LOOK fast

 

[SHO_DOODmorrris]
