Default 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!

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....

Thanks for the comments! Yep, got them from memoryfab.com. I think there is about four people now on this board that have them. Your Cups are sweet too. You can't beat the look of these NKB's, but thats the last of my money sitting in the lip.

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.

One of the reasons I went with 16 is that its a daily driver, so I didn't want it too harsh of a ride, or the chance of damaging the rim. When I was shopping rims, I read that I lot of the guys here complained of the ride harshness on 17's and up. Don't get me wrong, the bigs dogs look great, but they just weren't for me.

Oh Yeah, Very nice. The 9's in the back fill out the wheel well nicely. I kinda wish now that I had gone with the 9's too.
