Thinking about new wheels (already I know).
1st idea: Diamond Racing Pro series...
laugh..go ahead.
Its still up in the air... but I would most likely go 15x8/7 all around, probably staggered offsets. Im thinking orange?
same weight as sport wheels..18-19 lbs.
Here are some sample pics....if done properly...it looks classy.

Honest opinions please,
Just keep the flaming to a minimum...thaaaaaanks





ahh, and heres a link to their site: http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/pro.html

 

Aren't those wheels something like $40/ea new?

 

in a low offset and slammed it should look good, other wise its just going to look like steelies

 

^^ what MN said

 

I'm not a fan. If I were you I'd stay stock over that lol

 

The smallest sizes yea. The ones I would get are around $80 a piece

Thats the idea lol... and I was like you guys, I didnt like these wheels at all when I first saw them. But..they grew on me

 

I'm not a fan of that look, but to each their own.

If you like it, go for it.

 

yeah but that for certain lug and backspaceing if it 4x100 its $10 more if you do them in polished lip with raw centers thats $10 more just depends on what offset you are doing and size caus i dont think they make them bigger then a 16 also you will have to run stretch and roll and pull fenders

 

i was thinking about getting them too but there is a 3 month waiting list for them because they say it stock car season now.

 

here is a set kinda the same look on a gd with the appropriate size (and stretch or lack there of) looked soooooo dope - he said they were 15x8 +28 w/195-45-15 (don't quote me on that)




if the tire is stretched i hate it, the above example was perfect in my eyes - i'd do it!

 

Guess I got time to figure out exactly what I want lol..

Yea, I would go a *little* stretched. If those are 195s in that pic, that is pretty much perfect.

Question, does anyone know the exact difference between front and rear..idk stagger?? Like, how the rears tuck more than the front. Anyone know the exact mm difference? Searched...no joy

 

I think they look nice. Orange wouldn't be my choice though unless your car is orange originally.

I like those white ones.

 

Look at the spec page on Honda's website... track width of front vs rear. Take the difference, divide by two and there's how far a rear "sinks" in compared to the front.

 

i like diamond racing wheels, but i'm on the fence about whether they'd suit a fit. you can do it and we'll see.

they do look good to me on cars that are beat and hard-driven, with cracks, dents, and all that.

i agree that they're awesome when fitted properly, but i wouldn't say they look classy when done right - i'd say they look the opposite of classy, not in a bad way though.

 

I like how it looks on the ek, but on the other cars, I don't really like it. I can't picture how it would look on a Fit though.

Maybe you can photoshop them on a fit and see if you really like it or not?

If you can't photoshop then find somebody who can hahah

 

IMO, the only car above that doesn't look stupid is the civic.

mind you, I'm not saying that it looks good but the only one that doesn't look awful.

That said, as long as the tire is right for the wheel (not installing a tire on a wheel wider than manufacturers specs - either tire or wheel) then looks are subjective. it's up to you.

Ok, 58.1/57.4. So the difference is .35" (8.89mm) per side.
So if one were to use a 10mm spacer/adapter, the rears would be 'even' with the fronts (and/or poke out about 1mm more). Sound right to everyone?

 

To me they look like someone lost a hubcap off their steelies.

 

the del sol pulls it off.

youd really need to have your car hammered to have this look good. the 15x8 +25's look fine but he is obviously not trying to make them look hellaflush.

this is NOT a bolt on affair.

 

I was looking into getting these wheels a couple months ago because i think they're beautiful. The only thing that stopped me was the offset. The highest offsets for the sizes I was looking at was

15x8 +12
15x7 +0

Dont get me wrong, I think it'll look nice, but with the limit range of camber our cars offer, or even how much pulling on the fender you would have to do, its kinda non-practical.

Oh, and they uped their prices too. They are now selling a set of 15's for $392 before shipping.
