that actually seems good to me for the spring install.

every place in my area wanted 3-500$ for an install/alignment

Has anyone seen these?
What do you think?
Look good on a RS1 Nautical Blue dropped with NF's?

the offset on those wheels is really high buddy, +53 is not gonna look good, will be really sunken in, see if yo ucan find the same wheel at a lower offset, maybe call up discount tire and ask them. try to stay in the high 30's-mid 40's for 7.5-8" wheels for ease of fitment without being too sunken in

make sure you enter your car information on the www.discounttiredirect.com website that should keep the selection to wheels that will fit the XD.

that's the FD-05 that came up when I put the car info in.
offset of 45. not great, but better.I'd try and keep it to between 40 and 35 offsets

when you read the wheel size the way they have it displayed

18X7.5 5-100 45GMM

the 45 is the offset and the GMM is the finish.

yeah, I meant to copy the link to the +45 not the +53. in either case, i think you're right the +45 brings me in too far still. I'd really like to get +35. Guess I'll keep looking.

If anyone has any suggestions for what will look good on a Nautical Blue + sub-$200 price point, I will take suggestions.

Thanks!!!

heres a couple suggestions ill throw at you. In my opinion, blue will look best with white (pain in the **** to clean and keep clean), gold/bronze, or in standard aluminum/polished aluminum finish, maybe a gunmetal/hyper black or shadow/black chrome. In your price range your a little limited by brand, but i find XXR to be one of the better low cost brands, heavier wheels but more durable and a bit better finish than others.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5

Option 6

I didnt do much digging, just a few options from a site that ive used before with good customer service, few different styles, who knows might see something you like. dont hesitate to call those guys either, theyre eager to help, and some of these wheels come in multiple finishes

edit: also note that the prices in the red box are with tires, mounted and balanced, free shipping, and any kind of special lugs you may need.

Mmmm...I like Option 2 and Option 5. Alot.

Well... in the end...I had to stay with just a plain black. It's a 20% restocking fee if I don't like them....I'm wayyyyyy to cheap to risk that...

So this is what I decided to get... should have them within about 2 weeks...
Then it's straight to the shop to put my Tanabe's on along with the new wheel/tire combo. CAN'T WAIT!!!

partyinmybox

What kind of Tanabe's are you putting on?

davelaboss

I'm gonna use the NF210's. They provide approx 1.4" and 1.7" respectively on front and rear and it has been said they keep the feel of the ride about as close to stock as you can get. I'm not lookin to get super dropped out...just need a little bit of drop to marry up with my new 18's.

partyinmybox

That will be sweet. I hear that NF210 have a really comfy ride. Can't wait to see some pics!

Have you picked out your wheels yet?

davelaboss

Yeah, see a couple posts above...its the black 10 spoke 18" kyowa

partyinmybox

Those are gonna be sweet.

Your links to the pictures need to end in .jpg not the url to the webpage they're hosted on.
