Not bad, get some BBS RGRs. I think any mesh style wheel would look great on there though.

Wrd. An older car like that deserves a style of wheel that is fitting to it's era....old school car needs an old school wheel IMO.

Like I said before, those "JDM yo" style wheels don't fit a car of that age. Find some old Enkei meshies, BBS RM's or RS's, something in a wide 14" or 15". Big newer wheels don't look good on older cars like ours.

Agreed 100%. Some enkei meshies would look so sick. Then slam it to the ground!

Are there some other options you're considering?

I think it's a consensus on the Old school style, pick up those Enkei mesh from dedrik and slap them sumbitches on there. You'll nut in your pants. I promise.

Ive tied to tell him to tint them a thousand times.... but he always goes off about how tint is gay and what not.

fuck putting black wheels on that. do something OUT OF THE NORM. i'd say put some white regamasters on that. orrrr some old wat's

^^^Taking care of white wheels blows. I would never personally.
Either somethig dark, or dark with a machined lip. Some oldschool mesh's of any kind would match great, but both the wheels you posted look ok to me, I would just have them dark colored.
And no wheel will look good unless you dump that fucker. Somehting you should have done the first day you got that little badboy.

eh, the wats look OK but not great, the regas look disgusting
and to dump it...i gotta buy a set of civic coil covers, and the rear is a problem because there is no aftermarket support
shenrie

Ive used civic coilovers on a lot of random vehicles with good results.
Whats different about the back suspension? Arent they just macphearson struts?

nope LOL. strut and spring are seperate

i think a set of these older Sparco's would look good on that old beast.
http://www.passwordjdm.com/uploads/Wheels_Full_Size/SPARCO-42.jpg
Say maybe a set with gold centers and a polished lip 16x7 fronts and 16x8 rears....
Oh wait i just happen to have a set of those right here.... with 4 mismatched JDM non dot tires and hold your breath.......... JDM air. Yea that's right JDM air, that shits not cheap! you won't pay 1000. not even 699, but for the one time low price of 399.95!!!! That's right all this JDM goodness, with free JDM air!!!!! Unbelievable deal act fast only 1 set in stock!!

Like the e30's. Should be able to use the coilover just the same. You just have to amke a seat so the parts cant fall out when you unload the perch like when you go in and out of driveways at weird angles.
The Sparcos would look sweet too.

Not those BBS's. Those are too new. You need something old school. These would be great (BBS RS in 16x8.5 and 16x9)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/OldSchoolVDubs2020/1625583514_f28ba53744_o.jpg
Or some of these (BBS RM in 15x8)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/OldSchoolVDubs2020/20080808_Blau7819_sized.jpg
Or, to be totally baller, a set of these. BBS E30's (yes, that's the model, not off a E30 BMW, have to be custom ordered) in 13x8 or 13x9

ok, im sorry you feel that way. wat's are timeless, fucking badass, and SUPER light weight. Regamasters are the same way. i'd choose either of them before i ever bought cr kai's or bbs's. IMHO.

Not to threadjack, but how much would he be willing to let those go for?
omg its drunk scott.
02-06-2009, 04:59 PM

so are mine on my e36. corollas are the same way. you should be able to figure something out. ALWAYS go like this: suspension --> wheels. if not in that order it ends up looking H3LLA gay. dont be a ricer.
