Good god.... that is perfect looking. I feel like speed bumps would be your worst enemy but hell that looks amazing. If anyone else wants to chop some images of this color you would be my best friend and I will send any spare Karma your way!

Package will stick out 23 mm (0.9'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

I think the +35 will fit... but I am not into the whole "hella flush" BS. I want that nice fitment that is almost flush, no rubbing, and not sunk-in either.

I have a feeling the +35 will have a flatter face, while the +45 will have more convex shaped spokes.

Still.... :mad0259:

I just need to wait until I have the car and do the measurements based off the stock wheel to really know. :happy0180:

cool, i also think hella_flush is dumb...

i'm going with the +45 because i want some spoke definition/dimension...

Does anyone know how much the stock wheel are sunk in from the fender?

EDIT: Good thing about 17x8 +35 is that the backspacing is about the same for suspension clearance.

have you seen closeups of Galaxy Blue or Crystal Black? They have a lot of flake in em.

as far as the rim color, out of what you suggested, probably Bronze.

though I'm a crazy mofo and I'd say purple.

merlin2111 03-27-2012 04:18 PM

No that is the problem there have not been any closeups of these colors while they are clean. Ya I think bronze would be a good way to go. That is what I have on the miata with but a little more gold and it looks sharp.

zAnSh1n 03-27-2012 04:36 PM

i don't know what it is, but i can picture bronze wheels on almost any exterior color BUT the dark grey... probably since it's less common compared to other colors like white/black/red that rock bronze...

merlin2111 03-27-2012 05:00 PM

Anyone what to Pshop some bronze rims on there? My free trial just wore out and I am still figuring out how to use Gimp or else I would.

not enough contrast and it looks a bit odd. IMO. would be interesting to find a pic of the said combo.

found this in the fr-s chop thread:

poormans_LFA 03-27-2012 05:23 PM

not bad. it depends upon how light/dark the shade of bronze.

zAnSh1n 03-27-2012 05:39 PM
