Im guessing with an offset of +10 - how deep are the dishes ..?? any pics ..?? --------------------

I dont know what brand they are, but they are just some 5 spoke mags, not the best pic but the only one i have

the wheels are :
18*8.5
114.3/120/127/139.7
5H/6H

this is all the info I have on the mags

these look like they came off a commodore ...
if so - and im pretty sure they have an offset of +38 ... and with the 8.5 width that these have .. im sure u are gonna scrub if u dropped your car any more than 1.5"

i recommend to get something else as some chromies just dont look too great ...
but if you are keen on these and its a good buy for you - then by all means.

best to ask what car they came off - so u know what youre getting ...

"Some like it for runnin' and some like it for blingin'" ....you might say! You don't see many VIP style Altezza's, but there's certainly a niche for them! --------------------

I've had 3 sets of rims in 18months ... and Im only "just" satisfied ... Honestly - comes down to budget ... thats it ... --------------------

Wasnt trying to discourage anyone from buying them but personally i wouldnt spend money on something thats going to make my car slower and take longer to stop.....kinda counter productive. -------------------- Damn you and your admin powers...damn you!

Custom Group: VIP Member Posts: 934 Member No.: 26 Joined: 8-August 04	the stock 5 spoke 17"x7" rim has offset of 50. one of my frined has "standard IS200" with 16x6.5" offset 50 stock rim. Thinking of upgrade to 17" (not 18") first with small possibility of lowering the car in the future. What offset value can he go to keep the tyre/rim within the fender? as most of 17" aftermarket rims come in 17x8 +.

I know a lady who has an IS with 20x8 rims with 38 offset .. and still fits within the guard - abit too extreme for me ... Ramjet has a set of lenso 19x8 (8.5...?) and he's is also 38 offset .. (from memory) mine are 18x8 and also 38 offset .. I did need to roll ALL 4 guards. there's not many nice looking rims with 48 offset except for 3 piece or if your budget meets $4Ks+ ... though from experience ... best rim size would be 18x7.5 with 42 or 48 offset ... you wont need to roll the guard then and you can "safely" drop the car by 3" rear & 2" front --------------------

Unregistered	I Have AVS Bronze Model 5 19x8.5 on front and 19x9.5 rear and there are no problems with them. Just go as wide as you can and roll the rear guards they look tuff
