Just wondering, for those of you with offset around 38, have u guys experienced any issues with steering wheel, for instance, steering wheel shaking or steering wheel trying to turn left or right while driving on a flat surface? Also, do your rims stick out of the chassis?

Well what exactly do u mean my sizing combination? I think the size of the wheel is ok but I have been hearing that the offset of my rims are too low compare to the original. However, I have seen other people with similar offset with no issues. Just wanted to hear from other ppl if they experieneced shuddering of steering wheel with offset 38. I need to find solution coz it's making me crazy everytime I drive my car.....

Unfortunatley the Elanor is on so many Commodores and Falcons now that it makes that having originals less worthy because most people cant tell the difference and you will be compared with every other Commo and Falcon. :(

Sorry I'm not flamming anyone just putting a avearge Joe perspective on it.

You can tell the difference from the inner spoke, the Elanor has a black inner spoke where the original doesn't, just look the above picture.

I know a lot of people aren't a fan of these wheels (maybe because of the Commodore/Falcon thing), but I think they suit the euro beautifully. Classy but understated.

I wish Honda came out with a similar design to this as an OEM wheel, maybe for the luxury model in an 18" would have been nice.

i duno mixed opinions about these rims... ive seen em on a stock euro luxury..didnt fancy em at all.... however looks very nice in the pic above...
perhaps the phatness of the mugen kit...enhanced the look making it suit perfectly :)

I'm not sure. His wheels is 20" and he's using 225/30/R20 for the tyres. Most likely he's using cut spring and the lucky star bodykit aldo makes the car low really low.
