wow with new wheels
Well, since i started this i been thinking of all the comments about the wow factor. Since then i removed the rear lids, might remove the front tomorrow. i looked into a set of wheels, i saw those vertini wheels for sale and i like them alot. guy has some for sell but the offset on his wheels are 35mm. i have brembos upfront an i hope they clear since in runny 41mm offset in front and 37 in rear, im thinking i can get away with it if i dont drop it more than what it is?what do you think?

it should clear it no problem...if.... ARE YOU REFERRING TO BREMBO ROTORS OR CALIPERS??? if you are referring to rotors and they are the same as the stock size (which is most common) then they are fine, if they are calipers stock again is fine but if it had a bbk (big break kit) added which is the caliper relocation assembly and a larger diameter rotor then you will def. have to verify before dropping the money on the rims...
check with previous owner if you don't know for sure cuz that is def. a show stopper if they are the bbk in order for certain rims to clear them...

Well, i have the bembos rotors and calipers. i bought another set of wheels ebfore with the same and they fit his saying with a 35mm offset it might rub on the fenders.

i am willing to bet that they are stock sizes (caliper, rotor) just brembo brand, in which case the wheel will fit over it as long as it is larger than stock size. if you are dropped at all then a 20x10 with the 35mm offset may rub going over dips when there is added weight in the back. if you want to drop it more go with an 18 or 19" rim for best results...
best case scenario is that you meet up with someone and just swap rear wheels for a quick test drive to see if it is everything you had hoped for.. if you don't know anyone see if any local shops will help you out...

14 is pretty big, do the stock wheels even fit over those, i bet not huh???
yeah that edfc seems pretty cool, i almost bought it last summer but went to FL to see the relatives instead. still not sure if i made the right choice or not.?
just throw those new wheels on it and you should be skrate... those things looked sick in the pic on your car. its pretty amazing how many different looks our car can have..

ever since i got my first set of aftermarket rims 17" enkei rsf-2's or something like that they were a split 5 star design i put them on my second car ever a band new off the lot 2000 eclipse (which i still regret not just getting a used 99 at the time) i have always looked at cars with the rims in mind. if a car doesn't have nice rims it just doesn't register in my mind as a nice car.. i guess i'm just racist like that...
here is another one of my famous type analogies.. all my coworkers always say i have the craziest analogies, but my interpretation of this is like a bomb *** looking girl right, you see her walking up and looking fine as hell then she passes by and you know you gotta turn around and look cuz ur a dude and thats what dude do, so you turn around and you notice that she's got no *** at all... i mean i'm talking no curves horizontal or lateral just flat as a pancake and all... that is how i feel about a nice car that has no rims.. and big *** 22" fake plastic grips do not qualify as a rim. and most of these hondas driving around with fake 17" chrome rims from knock off brands don't count either.
be sure to post up pics after you put em on..!

DITTO, well i went with the vertini hennesy from a guy in OC. paid for them today so i hope i get them by early next week so i can swap out the tires. The 35 offset is whats making me worry since the current wheels fit perfect 41 FRONT 37 REAR on the car but ill figure it out once i get them.

my comment was that you should go with a wheel that is not mesh or 5 spoke, that does tend to make the car blend in a bit. I like the look of the vertini henessy as it is a bit unique and fits the GS well. I was gonne suggest you talk with Bob at zone wheels about some of thier wheels but it looks you grabbed a wheel just like the zone wheel, cant wait to see pics.
my other comment would be the head and tail light lids are a bit much, and the painted inners on the trunk as well. I am a simpleton and believe less is more most of the time.
