I don't acknowledge anything shakey says anymore because he now drives a riced out Civic. hahaha

I'm not denying I like the Ordens though!

$3,000 some dollars isn't that bad.

If they fit, get them...they look a lot like ZedStyle's wheels.

well pretty much they are the same excat fitmetn as my current ones the only thing added here is 1inch all around and .5inch width which i have plenty of place for both... ohh and the offset is 35 too soo no problem there.

only concern here is what tires to run?

Toyo T1R's I love mine..

I just got 1/2 inch spacers for the back wheels of my car and couldn't imagine making 9.5s fit all around. Nice work!!

I really don't see how that's possible, your car is barely lower than mine and I have no room in front and only a tiny bit in back with 8s all around..hence the spacers for a more aggressive look....

I dont think you realize how much 1" or even .5" is when it comes to wheels.

Think about it, we have to get down to mm to measure offset. A wheel with the same dimensions as yours with a 40mm offset would not fit. 5mm is less than a quarter inch.

Thanks man!

For those saying "illusion" of lip. Uhh, there's no illusion. It's the face of the wheel that convexes out it has nothing to do with the lip.

It's not really the illusion of lip. It's more that the lips on your rims would be much smaller if the face of your wheels (or "spokes" i guess) didn't curl under the car just before they meet the outer rim.

It gives you a bigger lip even though your car requires your rims to have a high positive offset.

Albert, like I told you over PM... I really don't think those rims will fit your car.

IMHO, you should spend that money on getting your lower body cladding installed and painted as well as other misc finishing touches.

I think those would look good on your car Berti. That much silver on Enzo clashes with the pearl black but with your silver car it should fill in nicely. Enzo + Carlssons FTW

Would thicker offsett rims mean longer bolts? I cant manage to find any longer bolts online for 5x112...

no, it has more to due with the thickness of the wheel face itself. Offset has nothing to do with how long the bolts are.
