So I'll tell you now, I'm a impulse buyer.

As you guys may have seen, I just put mesh on my Galant and barely got away with the offset. Well now, I bought a set of rims for my Colt but the tires were too big. I threw them on the Galant just to see what they looked like and they turned ok. I don't like the sunken look but, still alright. Well I love Enkei RS Evolution's and I don't know if they make them anymore. A set popped up on my local CL and odd enough in the bolt pattern I needed. He didn't know they size so he went home and checked. They were exactly the size I wanted. So here's pics of all the rims I have which is way to many.

I'm going to rock the Enkei's and all I have to do is swap tires. Ignore the tires and check out the offset. I'm going to swap tires and put the 40 series on the Sportmax and put them on the Colt. There 16x8 will go my new project that should be here on Sunday. I'll post pics upon arrival.

Sportmax 036 +42 offset 17x7 215/45/17 Doesn't really seems like a +42

Rims with a "fwd lip" as I call it look goofy. They have a lip only because the spokes come out so far. The offset just looks bad on our cars (or anything for that matter). That's just my honest opinion. The polished wheels in the first pics look much better.

Quoting SmoothCustomer:
I don't know anything about your suspension but that wheel gap looks pretty bad on the enkeis.



That's due to the tires being a 215/40/17.

I have new tires on them and will get pics up.
 

Always been fan of the RSE's, and no, I don't think they're made anymore...

It took me nearly 5 years to track down a set of RS evolutions to replace the Racing S wheels I bought off a friends parents a week into ownership of my first vr4.

215/40's are okay with the ride height to suit.

I polished the lip a little with some mothers polish. I love the wheels and they will stay.
