[Topper]

7 Spoke Ultralites -

5 Spoke Ultralites -

I'm really feeling the gold ones :thumbs:

 

[Yakozan]

Yakozan, I like the one's you posted too - go for it!

What did I post??

Topper.
I would go 18" because I think they look better on the car.
But the tires are more expensive and comfort is not as good as with 17"

17" should be the better choice, but 18" looks better.
You decide :thumbs:

 

[Meddy]

I like the last ones, but not in gold you'll look like a Scooby.

 

[Nicely]

Lol. I thought exactly the same about the gold ones Funnily, I agree about the 5 spokes :nod:

 

[MIHIR AMIN]

id say go for 18's im hoping to order my rota gtr wheels in the next 2 weeks as my car is off road, just having trouble deciding on the width dont know if 9.5j will fit on the front.

anyway go 18's the bronze looks good :thumbs:

I just wish I could find some SSR Integrals for mine.. my favourite wheel of all time.. my Kosei 17"ers are a compromise

I think SSR in the US still makes some wheels.
Not sure though, but try looking on american wheels pages. Could be worth a shot.

work emotion xd9 i recon, the rota's look good but they just arn't created with quality materials....

What size and width are those?

 

[elizium]

What size and width are those?

I think they were 18x9

 

[Yakozan]

I think they were 18x9

Whouldn't they fit then?
Or is the offset wrong?

Edit: May be alittle wide for the front. But some wider fenders will fix that :thumbs:

 

[Topper]

Loving those :nod:

Think i'm going to go 18's and Work Emotion Cr's (If i can get them at a resonable price) in Bronze :thumbs:

 

[dcoghlan]

I got in trouble for putting that on here :nod:

So will 17s with a real offset be lost in the arches?? No-one got 17s on here?

I would go for 18's if I were you. In saying that, all my rims are in 17's at the moment. My next set of street rims will be either 18's or 19's

 

[Topper]

Ah you see that add's another side to it, street rims will be ok at 18s, but what about trackdays, would i need a spare set of 17s for that, Or would the 18s do?

 

[dcoghlan]

for track rims I would get 17's unless you have stupidly big rotors or have wads of cash to spend on 18" semi slicks.

 

[Topper]

i only do a couple of trackdays a year, so i wouldnt want to have two sets of wheels as i have no room for them at the moment.

I have been told i should be loooking at getting the following for an S15 with stock fenders -
Front - 18" x 7.5J +35
Rear - 18" x 8.5J +43

Thats a bit :ghey: aint it

 

[Nicely]

I don't have room for a second set really. However, I'm not shredding my road tyres on the track...

 

[A'PEXi]

you would be able to get away with 18x8 and 18x9 with standard guards also, around +32ish offset.... maybe some high performance street tyres which you could use both on street and track? :thumbs:
