Hey guys I am thinking about getting some 15's when I get my tax return. I am looking at the Gunmetal MB competitions (made my A-tech with 195/55-15 s-drives. With discount tires $100 mail in rebate they will be about $700 bucks shipped. Is that a good deal? They also come in +43 offset and +35 which one would be best ,and what do you guys think of this set up?

Here is the link to my car:

here is the link to the wheels:

Those wheels look really good, and that's a good price; I think they will be real nice on a white car. They look like the Buddy Club wheels that I was going to buy. I have a +40 offset on my GT-3's and they fit well, so I'd go for the +43 offset.

 

thanks man, I also liked these but they have a +35 offset http://www.discounttiredirect.com/pr...mwea.gm.xl.jpg

 

if ya ever want to lower the car a bit the 43offset will make it even easier to lower...

unless you like the wheels sticking out a bit....
35s will be almost even with the outter fenders or out just a bit and rub like a ****

and the 43s will tuck in nicely.. those are what i would buy for a 7inch wide rim! these are mine which i believe are 42offset

 

go with the 43offset...

heres a quick refernce best pics i can find..
old rims i believe 36 or 38offset. they where about even with the fenders which was very bad for lowering and rubbing!!!!

my polished lip/ gunmetal rims are 42offset.

 

thanks for the help man, ill go with the 43. Its lowered about 3/4 of an inch nothing crazy but helps the looks for now. Eventually I will go with a full coilover when I finish college. Part time work at UPS doesnt pay too much lol.

 

I'm probably going to order these soon, they are having a sale now. $50 off an online purchase, or $100 mail in rebate w/ a no interest offer for their credit card.

I kind of want to go to a 16" but i think 15's will be my best bet.
