Exclamation Wheel pics UPDATED

Here are 3 different wheels so you guys get an idea how they look like on the car. Just thought it would help.

Mugen M5 15x6.5 with a 43+



BBS RS 17x8 with a 45+ in the rear.


Works VS-XX 17x7 with a 35+ in the rear


and yeah I rolled around like this. lol


And now this is how the car stands with the BBS RS.

Thanks, I was starting to find the red centers stand out to much so I put the black ones back on. Looks much cleaner now.

Only for a day since I had to get my bbs redone. Boy was the ride smooth with 15s on front. Fat tires absorbed everything.

Yup RS*R superdown. Wish there was something a tad lower. Still high to me now. Ill should just switch off caps are leave one side red and the other with black. I might plan to redo the rims if I keep the black caps with gold bbs logo with some new gold rivets.

Same, I got DF's. They look similiar to your drop and I also wish they were a lil lower. Theyll hold me off till I get coilovers though. Gold rivets would look sick especially on black. Whatd you do with the RPF1's?

I wish the RPF1's came in gold in 4x100. Still cant decide what wheels I want, but im pretty sure I want em gold...

Are they the Ti2000 superdown or regular superdown?

I love the RS's. Must've been hard to find in 4x100, or are you running adapters? Any rubbing?

The BBS RS were redone by having the filled and drilled to 4x100. I have no idea which superdowns I bought. lol I just wanted the one that was lowest and yet still not low enough for me.

Either way, your car is looking good with those RS's. I'm thinking about trying to find a set of RCs myself. I had a set of RM's with 2" lips on my e30 bmw, those were only 15", but still my favourite set of wheels.

I'm debating between the RSR superdowns or the Basic-I coilovers right now, I think I should just go for the coilovers so I have no regrets.
