  • Thinking of getting these pretty soon



    Hopefully they'll fit. I assume the AOffset is the alternative offset, since it looks like it can do either 4x100 or 4x114.3

    Or..should I go for these

    Get the Motegi the spoker's will stick out about 2 inches from your fender!

    Unless you like that, and the VI that will follow!

    Thanks :wink:

      I do..I really like the wires, but I'm worried shipping them from the US will cost me loads more with customs and such. I'd buy them locally but they're nowhere near as cheap. The Motegi's on the other hand are local and I can pick them up, so I won't have to ship them.

      PS..what's the VI?

        Verbal Insults:-) I would say that they are ghetto. The Motegi's are much nicer in my opinion.

            well shipping is about 200, but I am in agreement that the others look much nicer. It has to be the right car for wires.

                the spoked rims will stick out WAY too much, and the motegis won't fit unless you run aspire rear shocks (rear tires WILL hit the spring pearch with festy shocks) OR (and this is NOT recomended) use wheel spacers.
                Trees aren't kind to me...

                currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

                  Luckily you told me this..I was just about to buy them like next week. Maybe I should be buying some FMS springs first.

                    the springs have NOTHING to do with this, it's the spring pearch on the shocks that you have to worry about.

                      So the only solution is to run aspire shocks? Or the FMS Performance struts?

                        aspire spring pearches are about 1"taller than the festy ones therefore affording you the space to tuck in wider rims. the widest you can go w/ festy shocks is 6" with a 35mm offset (personal experiance) possibly a 6.5" (same offset) if you run a shorter tire.

                          Well those Motegi's are 6.5"..which I had planned on getting some nice low profile tires to go along with them. Like maybe some nice 165mm's

                              Though I like the other motegi's so much more.
