Hi All Euro Gurus.


I got a 2003 graphite Euro with Euro R lip and Mugen Grill..Trying to get some "shoes" for the ride......

Junyu is selling his 17 inch rims.......

What do you guys think of his rims on my car?

I am still running stock suspension for the moment..

If anyone can help photoshop for me will be great as well :)

Thanks a lot people...

Weds sport SA70's? Those look sweet!
I'd get 18's on the CL9, but that is just me.

Do you think the 17 inch has too much chrome on the rims?

I think you could have problems with that offset if you go on coilovers.
not 100% sure though

Junyu say he even lower with springs but will not rub any guards...

I actually think the best looking wheels on the Euro by far are the 17" 9-spoke OEM wheels from the 07-08 Euro Lux... Followed by the 10-spoke 'tuning fork' wheels from around '05 on the Lux and the Sport, and the JDM Euro R wheels.

tbh i prefer the 05 Lux over the 07-08 lux if oem

Crapdaz
09-03-2009, 12:08 PM
the twin 5 spoke sports wheels are the nicest.

But if you can get plain 5 spoke stockies in a better offset they would be the shi1tz

HunterZero

They both look great, can't go wrong with either IMHO.

The 10-spoke wheels look more sporty, but the 9 spoke wheels look classier.

Black CE28N Time attacks would have been perfect IMO for your car. Sadly, it's discontinued now.

Volk GT-C Face 2 (black) perhaps?
Mugen NR?
Advan Kreuzer X?
SSR Professors?
Work Emotions CR Kai?

Thought the chrome will match the door handles ....anyway,
I am still thinking. The seller selling it have a big dent on the
Front left.. Will wobble when driving 80 km/ h onwards...
Even if I repair it , it may stop happen.....

Got another option is to go 17 inch +47 offset bronze works Cr kais...

Need input between these two options

Yeh if you like it's up to you.

With damage to wheels that would turn me off in buying it in general even if it has gutter rashes.
Does the dent impact the rolling surface? If yes don't buy.
Depending you might think 17" wheels would be too small but if your up for smaller wheels go for them.

My 2c - I'd get the bRonze Works CR Kais if they are undamaged, but personally i think 17" is too small for the euro.

defibros
22-03-2009, 11:22 PM
Thanks for the tips..

yeah i will look into the 17s again..

cause i have a euro R kit with the mugen grill, i am trying to keep in the JDM look....

i think the meisters is too much of a VIp look but then again , i may be wrong

will think about both the rims..

Any of you gurus have use these offset and profiles?

i suspect 9 is a bit too big for the front ? Maybe it will work now but when i lower it will it rub?

Anyone can guide me?
