I only know that because another member on here let me know that the DR-33's 17" are only available with those two offsets. I was wondering if there is any way I can find out which ones they are?

Just thought I'd ask. It seems like there some wheel smart people on here. Thanks in advance for any help.

OP- My fronts seem to "poke" a little and the rears are almost flush. (They're flush with the mud flaps)

im not sure but i think your probably 42, if your front is sitting outside the body and the back are almost flush

cause i think 45s your front wouldnt be poked out like that

but im not sure

We're talking about 3mm here... its not a lot of difference. My Enkeis are +43, and I'd describe the "poke" the way Ray did (except I don't have mudflaps). And the front is more than 2mm out.

Edit: after taking a bit more look at Ray's tire pictures, it looks like he has +45s. His fronts aren't sticking out as much as mine are.

The flushness would depend on the wheel width and tire width. Because he has 205s sitting on 7" wide wheels, I can compare what I have to his.

It looks nice. I personally could do without the red stripe.

If you like it, go for it.

yeah i have a black car and i think eitehr matte black or black is way rims are boring, and white or silver rims just dont look natural, but black with orange lip... just something that might look less boring?

I like them! I think the stripe breaks it up nice and orange is different from the red that it seems everyone is doing. I like the multi spoke look. The reason I went DR-33's was because the spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim making them look bigger than they are.
