So money!

Nicely done. I was also considering these for our FR-S, looks great!!

I was combing ebay for old school jdm wheels when i found these. I didnt want to spend 2k and get the offsets wrong so this was a better option.
they look spot on too.
as soon as my coils get here i will post some proper pictures...
stupid snow. :mad0259:

Right on, even without coilovers it still looks nice b/c of the meaty tires. We ended up with 18x8.5 +40 wheels for ours in the end but i'm glad someone else went with 16"s (and they look great!)

It's also kind of tough to find 16" in 5x100 in good sizes so the Compe is a great choice IMO.

yeah you arent kidding... i was going nuts, considering adapters and all kinds of crap.
i wanted the meaty look cause i plan to drive this car pretty hard.
Thanks again.

:w00t:Looks good!

Looks great! Needs a bit of a drop but not much.

Cool! I just hope they don't look as mexi-flush when it's lowered.

Love it!!! Love it more with a little drop:happyanim:
I am thinking about going the retro rim route too, maybe rota RKRs or these.

just wait a few days fellas.
i will have plenty of pics for you all.

mmmmm...meaty

NICELY DONE!

I wish they came in closer to a +30et. What is price of tires like in that size? I would hope that goods tires would still be quite a bit cheaper than the same tire in a 17.

as is normal with tires it all depends what you want to spend...

want to see it tucking

Nice! I had been wondering how this style would look with a good offset :party0030:

yeah that front... pokes a bit but I love the concept

maybe get them machined to a higher offset?

:bonk: does nobody read?
its on stock suspension, still waiting for coils to show up.

Got curious to know what it would look like with a drop. Not too bad:

Dropped a little more:

Wouldnt happen to know the wheel weight of these would you?

Definitely looks like a good choice. Im considering going 16's with a 205 primarily for drift!

I personally think that the first drop looks perfect, while the second one isn't bad its not to my taste.


Edit: Looking back it, they both look nice.

not sure how it will look when i am done with the suspension.
i forgot to weigh them...
my bad. i will get a wheel and tire weight when we do the suspension swap.

Interestingly, I've found a couple of dif sites (none authoritative) that list the 16x8 Compe's weight at 22lbs

they didnt feel that heavy...
I am waiting for somethings to get squared away with all the parties involved before i get my coils on. I will have more info hopefully this coming week and some better pics.

Definitely MOAR PICTARZ!!!!

I am working on it. Coils are here just need to get the time. Hopefully later this week.

So how does it handle with the 16's?

no real noticable difference, it doesn't feel as harsh over pavement joints etc...

snagged a quick pic today... shitty phone pic.

They look great! Cant wait to see the car with the coilovers on it. Any chance of getting a couple shots from the front and back down the side to show how much they poke, please? Also, any idea if 16" tires are easier to find than 17s in the appropriate size? I love how they look, I want a set for my white out.

i ordered tires from discount, no big deal getting tires.
I will do a lot more pics once the coils get on, with a real camera hopefully and not my phone.
I am just waiting for people to get back in town and everyone to get on the same page. I hate having parts sitting and waiting but i do.

Any updates?

new pics on page 1

Thanks boss. Any luck getting them weighed?

Shit, I knew I forgot something....

Nice! How do they fit now that you're lowered? What kind of camber are you having to run?

Nice, this was one of the sets I was looking at, only red centers with machined lip.

they only come in white or gunmetal so I think you may have been looking at xxr's version.

alignment is pretty street friendly right now:
toe- 0*
camber- -.75*
caster- 5.6
rear:
camber--1.75
toe- 1/8
