New NKB wheels.............Pics

New wheels are on! NKB Power Mesh 16X8 offset+35, 19 lbs each (40lbs w/tire), 101mm lip. Tires are BF Goodrich g-force sport 205/50 16. Tein S Tech Springs. OTG rear spacer shims.

Had to use the spacer shims in the back because the tire was rubbing on the inside without them. Other than that, there seems to be no rubbing issues. Enjoy!

Ah nice, more NKB people! Nice setup!!!! Did you pick them up from memoryfab?

The biggest NKB makes the Mesh in one peice is 16x9....If you want bigger they go to 3 peice and I don't think they have any 4 lug three peice....

That looks perfect. I would have gone with that size if I had more money.

i don't want to be rude, but WTF? those are nasty and small... go big or go home...the overall ride looks sweet, drop looks awesome, and the shims really help set it off, but maybe it is just me, i can't dig on them. to each his own. if you are happy with them, that's all that matters.
