    Wheel opinion/offset help

    So I saw these wheels at the JY yesterday, and I wanna know what you guys think. I like them off the vehicle but I'm not usually one for thin spoke wheels on 3gees. Se-i wheels are the epitome of perfect IMO. Any how here you go:

    They're 320 bucks with tires that have about 85% tread. Also I have no clue what the offset on them is, is there a way to measure it there?

    I would definitely refinish them either black or 2 tone bronze/black with a polished lip.

    have fun trying to squeeze those on there. My race tires are 225/45-r15. With the wrong offset those will definitely hit the suspension.

    For Accuracy at this point you need to put them on the car and see what you get, unless the JY will offer your money back if they dont fit. If so, get it in writing.

    Even if they fit Im not digging the style.

    I'm actually running the same rims as you now. Kumho v700's for the tires. You were definitely right about them being close. like 2mm of clearance from the knuckle. I need to reroute my brake lines on the front because they rub against the rim.

    225/45 17 is a HUGE tire for a 3g. That's what my MK4 GTI wore. Even if the offset is good on the wheels, the tires are going to be too tall/large in diameter.
