Help me pick 'em!

[LJRuddy]

Well after browsing the intrawebz, I finally got a nice list of possible wheel choices for the SHO. Lets see what you all think would look best.

They will be going on a silver 95 SHO.

MSR 090 dark gray/gunmetal... Also available in silver
35mm offset
17x7.5
24lbs

MSR 138 silver with machined lip
17x7.5
42mm offset
24lbs


MSR 092 chrome or gunmetal w/ machined lip
17x7.5
40mm offset
22lbs

ASA JH8 silver with machined lip
45mm offset
17x7.5
20.4lbs

Borbet type FS silver
40mm offset
17x7
20.3lbs

Enkei RS5 silver
17x7
40mm offset
Anyone wanna tell me how much these weigh?


Enkei RS6 silver
17x7
38mm offset
How much do these weigh?


To be honest, I really don't like wheels with the polished/machined lips on them nor do I think they would look very good on my SHO. However, there are so few wheel options to go with that if I eliminate the ones with the polished lips, i'd have nothing to choose from.

Let me know what you all think about these. If you have a wheel that you think might look good, post them up! I'd love to see some more options. :wave:

I was leaning towards those or the ASA JH8. Only thing holding me back from buying the JH8's is the fact that the offset is a tad much at 45mm. I'd probably have a decent amount of tire sticking out the sides.

Go with the Borbets they are purrrdddyyy!

My two picks in particular order:

 

[LJRuddy]

Jason, I like those MSR's as well... I am just worried that a gunmetal with polished lip will look horrible on a silver SHO.

I like the JH8 too, nothing wrong with a little more track width

 

[zblackbeast]

I like the borbets or the msr 90s!!

 

[LJRuddy]

I think im gonna go with the Borbets... Lightweight, simple yet aggressive design, no polished lip, and on sale on tirerack.com.

FUCKK!!!!! Sold out.


Anyone wanna give me an idea of how far a 17x7.5 wheel with a 45mm offset will stick out of the well?

Borbet type FS silver or the gunmetal MSR

Borbet......with the tirerack site you can see how the wheels look on the car too; picked mine up there after ordering online.

Tirerack has sold out of the Borbet wheels and it looks like they will not be carrying that wheel model any longer

A 45mm offset will put the wheels closer to the strut. You might have issues with the tire rubbing the strut, but maybe not.
