Loads of options mate outside of the 3 you mentioned, but you may get stuck on the 10 rears, you also probalby want to go for 10.5 Rear and 9.5 Front... Offsets should be around +22 but you can run spacers but your best to try and get the right offset as wider spacers can ruin the ride and handeling. Basically first off, what style are you looking for and what colour? And whats your budget as this will cut it down a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Lots of options Offsets should be between 12 & 22 for anywhere near a decent look without spacers As above though, need to know what style & budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 As everyone has said lots of options out there. Also put an introduction post up so we can all say hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BR1TT0N_ Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ok well I know volk and that are way out of my price range or I just might have to save up lol looking. For a set around the 1000 marker. Yer I defo don't want soacers because I don't understand enough as it is. I really would like a set of rims with a stainless steel lip just because I know what the polished lips are like with corrosion. But having the lip not a must be. Just need a nice set that are gd but makes the car more 'my own'. cheers guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUUC Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Get in touch with Rare Rims thats who ill be getting mine from.

_BR1TT0N_ Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Cool thanks guys! So should I not really worry about offsets and that cos I am a bit confused. If I talk with rarerims.co.uk and tell them what car it's for and space for brembos and that, will they sort me out? By the way what do you peeps think of the new rota gtr-d wheels? With the blue and the red ones? Quite funky lol any one bought them? If so pics please:-) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geting the right offset will mean that you will have a wheel that fits the car! Yes if you call Rare Rims, or even Andy @ Kudos Automotive or Sarah at Chilli Red they can help out and advise you.

Chris`I Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 If you want a sanity check before buying them, just pop the specs up here and we'll double check them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 At that budget my money would be going to Varrstoen I nearly bought a set myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Mate you asked a simple question and never really got a proper answer - off-set, along with width determines how far the wheel will stick out - if you go too low (higher the ET number) the the wheel will sit inside the arch too far, too wide and you'll be to close to the arch and may either stick outside further than the arch (MOT fail) and/or rub on the arches. For example if you get a wheel that is say 10" wide with an off-set of say ET50 this will still sit quite far under the arch. The same wheel (10" wide) with an off-set of say ET10 will sit much further out (I think 1x ET = 1mm but not 100% sure) So a 9" wide wheel with an off-set of ET10 will sit better than a 10" wide wheel with ET50 so off-set is very important to consider. It's also worth researching what different size wheels will do to handling / perfomance / grip etc and you should consider what you want to use your car for most.
