    wheels im considering


    they are 15x6.5 and 4x100 which isnt a problem and i am doing the aspire swap so they fit that way. i am waiting on the offset and back spacing specs from the seller but what would be the ideal offset and bs for these wheels? if i have to run spacers thats fine. I was also wondering how everyone thinks these would look on my festiva?

    Will have spacers for sure. My 15x6s only have about .010 clearance on the rears. I used 1/4" spacers.

        GREAT looking wheels! I've got 14x6 on Casper which has lowered FMS springs. Had to massage the inner fender lips flat w/a BFH to make it fit. I'm thinking 6.5" width is really pushing it, but of course you can do fender modding if needed. What tire size are you looking at? 195/45x15?

        Do you know anyone w/an Aspire swap that you can test-fit the wheels on? Or can you wait to pay for them until you do the swap and test-fit them on your car?

            I don't know anything about wheel specks, but just from an aesthetic point of view, I think they would look great on your Festiva! Very nice indeed.

                I always liked BBS wheels. I think they'll look great on your car.

                  Definitely a good choice. Very euro. They'd probably make your car look more like a Bimmer or old-school Golf. Viva la gokart.

                      That is one bad car! That air dam really looks great! And the Civic bumper... Makes me wonder about modding a civic kit... Hmmm...

                        the offset is 33mm im not sure about back spacing, he didnt tell me, but they were on a vw corrado so hopefully they will fit fine. apparently im not the only one who wants them so hopefully the other guy backs out.

                              I believe it has been sold, and dismantled. Or, possibly sold, wrecked, and dismantled. Can't remember for sure, but I'm positive it's no longer on the road. :shock:

                              Loving those wheels, tho. They are beauties. :thumbleft:
