Wheels - Paradyme Phanatik

[mrecoolgar]

Just had these mounted yesterday. They are silver painted with a polished lip. Size is 17 x 7 with a 40mm offset. I mounted Michelin Sport AS 225-50-17's. Let me know what you think.

They were $289 shippped. Found them on Ebay. I hope I don't need struts. Maybe rear springs? I'm running Tokico struts and stock springs. I need to drop the front I believe.

Nice wheels but they look too small. They would look alot better in an 18" size.

That's the first thing I thought after seeing them on the car. I think it's because the spokes seem to 'thin' out at the rim.

That's a nice + you have there.

Per UPS they weigh 13lbs in the box. Seems light but that's the weight they used for billing.

mrecoolgar, looks like you need a spoiler for that +! Do u have it or do u need 1? I'v got a green 1 hanging on the wall here as a spare I might part with. Nice lookin rims BTW! Great price too.

Your green plus look just like mine (The paint going bad and no spoiler)

The rims look great for less than 300

Thanks for the offer. I removed it when I removed the door cladding and side skirts. Just didn't get around to re-installing it. You have one more SHO than I.

They look good, but I think they'd look a lot better if the car was a bit lower. If you already have Tokico's, Id def. get a set of Intrax and it will look TIGHT.

Good idea. So you would choose Intrax over Eibach?
