Yea, thats them.

phelan 10-26-2010 09:05 PM

honestly the rear wheel looks kind of small in that picture. could be the bad light.

what specs did you go for?

specZ 10-26-2010 09:44 PM

WOW, those look pretty small... 18" inch wheels I'm assuming?

Dan Z Man 10-26-2010 09:53 PM

Chris_1 10-26-2010 10:19 PM

They are 23lbs in 18x9.5 . I am selling my set if anyone is interested :)

Jquad 10-26-2010 11:42 PM

Not bAd:tup: Better pics would be nice:tup:

jbuzz 10-27-2010 07:07 AM

These were taken right after I installed them with my Droid camera phone. They actually look better than the 12mp Samsung camera I used last night.

The front tires are 18 x 8.5 - 225 x 50

The rear tires are 18 x 9.5 - 245 x 45

I like them. But I'm partial to black on black. lol

fairladyZ34 10-27-2010 09:44 AM

step lip on the 18 makes them look a little small tho

Snakebite202 10-27-2010 10:04 AM

Yeah, not feeling the sizing at all...bigger would be better with this wheel.

Red__Zed 10-27-2010 10:29 AM

They're a tad on the small side, but I think they look good. They'd look excellent with a drop and a beefier tire.

Cell 10-27-2010 10:57 AM

I really like these rims, especially in the RSX. I am just not feeling it though with the Z. Maybe because they are 18s.

jbuzz 10-27-2010 11:38 AM

Looked into the 19's but they dont make a 19" snow tire. Thats how I justified the new wheels to my wife. :tiphat:

Also what do you guys recommend to to the drop? I agree I think it would like better.

fairladyZ34 10-27-2010 12:05 PM

a happy wife is always good :tup: and as far as a drop goes you prob want the eibbach kit or some along the lines of 1 inch front and rear. I was gonna do H&R springs which is the lowest spring but if your gonna drive in the snow id stay more conservative

Zigen5 10-27-2010 12:27 PM

Its cuz the rims blend in with the tires. I'm not a fan of black. I look at my 19's now and they still look small. I can't drop mine cuz I rub everywhere I go with my S-Kit

chuckd05 10-27-2010 03:41 PM

Just add a spacer and next tire time go wider...

Drop with H & R or Eibach with whatever spacer will make the wheels sit flush with the back being a touch more out and it will look mint... They also will appear bigger if the fender hugs the rubber.

tinysumo 10-27-2010 04:15 PM

I would've gone with a wider wheel and a more aggressive offset. I've seen these wheels with some made concave.

Waiz 10-27-2010 04:29 PM

They are a very light wheel just not the most aggressive in the higher offsets.

I would suggest some spacers for sure.

jbuzz 10-28-2010 08:24 AM

For spacers, 15mm Ichiba?

For Srings, Eibach?

Sent Lou a PM to see what he recommends.

As for wider tire, these are snow tires. Wider will defeat the purpose, in the spring I'll put my 275's back on.

fairladyZ34 10-28-2010 10:09 AM

^if this is your snow set up just leave the lowering springs till the spring time
