I personally don't like the pattern.

 

[ecks]

they look odd for some reason to me.. i dunno i think it's the look of the spokes bending outward that's not appealing to me.

 

[basilisk4]

They look pretty nice to me.

 

[bluesciontc]

YES YES YES i love those rims. If i had the money i would do it.

 

[phungy]

Get it!

 

[tcrease]

I like those rims. Don't really like the center cap.

 

[pharoh]

I've never been a fan of complex patterns...

 

[mrbrace]

Yeah those are good looking I would shoot for them...

 

[tormented8]

like krdshrk, i'm not too big a fan of the pattern, but they're by no means hideous, so if that's your style, go for it.

 

[JP'sTc]

Ive been looking around and i can never make up my mind, but these seem pretty cool so i might shoot for em. Oh and I know this a a newb question and as long as ive been on the forums i should have a decent understanding of it..but I don't. Can someone explain offset?

 

[krdshrk]

Here's a couple sites that explain offset.

So it has nothing to do with how much the wheel sticks out of the wheel well?

 

[lo bux racer]

It can.

 

[JP'sTc]

So, IYHO, would you go with a 35 offset or 42 like the above?

 

[lo bux racer]

With a 7" rim? the 42 is guaranteed to never rub. The 35 might, but it shouldn't. I'm certain the 35 will work fine in the back, just not 100% certain it will work in the front.

Also, it's not a good idea to have staggered offsets on a daily driven car. Rotating your tires gets really expensive when they have to be removed from the rims every time.

BBS style, not bad

Thanks for the help. I guess im gona go with the 42 so i don't have rubbing issues and i don't have to deal with removing them from the rims all the time.
