Great looking wheels. I just picked up a white 03 and I think these are by far the best looking wheels I've seen for the white.

Scored these 16x8 +50mm beauty's with the rubber for $120! Not really sure of the brand but they turned out pretty good after i plastidipped them! 100 times better than the stocks! Sorry for the poor lighting.
Car is still in the shop under construction but the new wheels are on! SSR Type-C 17x8 +48

16x7.5 +40 Konig Roller, haven't mounted yet.
17" x 9" TSW Hockenheim R's wrapped in Falken 245/40r17's.
All slammed on GC Coils and Tokio shocks. Shocks are slotted to give up to -5 degrees of camber for a slammed "stance" look for car shows. But I usually only have about -2 for autoX or less for rallyX.

I wouldn't call it a disgrace, CERTAINLY not what I would do to mine but it is far from a disgrace. The work done here may not be for everyone but you must take into account that it obviously took time and money. A disgrace would be someone and something that took the same parts and ideas but put in 25% of the effort allowing the bumper to be held by zipties and the speakers to be misaligned while the not so elegant spoiler is crooked......Like I said may not be for everyone and certainly isn't for me but....That is the beauty of being individuals with different ideas.
Props on the build because it was at least done well. Keep the creativity going my friend, it may inspire some genius somewhere down the road in you, I or the next guy who sees something that can be done better or different. We should always aim to build on each other rather than tear each other apart.
Not a polished or chrome fan but these look good
OK so who knows the real truth here? I am hearing and seeing wheels that wheels of a lower positive offset wont ride right and that +45 and up are best. BUT I am seeing +40 and hearing no complaints. How is this happening? People just aren't worried about rubbing or are these wheels somehow fitting?
What is the proper size without rubbing?

Sorry about the poor lighting. Typical west coast day...
off topic, but where in the world can I find that hood? is it made in anything aside from CF?
rims look great btw, always liked that design
