It seems dead even, huh...

I'd look for something else. The wheel you've chosen look like a ceiling fan with bolts/studs. I prefer seven or ten spoke wheels...

It's all about how u like the wheel to stick out or not. The higher offset will make the wheel tuck in more in the wheelwell, and that'll prevent it from rubbing the fender. Some people like to have lower offset for more agressive look. For me, I just hate to hear the sound of my tire rubbing to the outer fender anytime going thru a dip. But I don't like to have my rims and tire tuck in too much, I refer a flush look:

Personally, they look a bit generic. They also look really similar to one of the mercedes benz wheels.

quit worrying.. those wheels are going to look hot. besides, it shouldnt matter what everyone here thinks as long as you like them. if you really want to know what its going to look like, post a pic of your car on the photoshop forum and have someone Photoshop the wheels on for you. i forgot to ask, where in FL are you?

tims offsets seam to be the saftest especially if you plan on dropping 1-1.4 inches later, which i plan on most likely. tim why don't you post some side pics so we can get an idea of your lip?

as for ur rim decision... knock off HREs. no big deal not like HRE is kind of the hill anymore as it is. they'll probably look good in a 19" and could even look good polished on a matador (which i hate but could look good on red just don't go with this on black...here's MY style for my SGM).

yea some might not like the mounting style, the 5 spoke design, the star 5 spoke design, gunmetal, polished lip, or all of it. but i love it and think its the sexiest damn wheels i've ever seen especially for a sgm so screw anyone who doesn't like it. thats the mentality you need when picking out a wheel. if it doesn't scream put me on ur car it probably isn't the right one.

seriously man, its you damn wheel. if you like it what do you care if someone else does. did they pay for it? no. did they pay for your ride? no thats why you put them in the back seat with an ice block instead of A/C...they aren't paying for gas... lol
