Emotion CR Kai

Nezart pros:
2" lip they look kinda similar to Meister S1 2pc (which I really want, but can't afford to buy new)
Nezart cons:
Not exactly the perfect width and offset I would really like.



Emotion pros:
Haven't seen anyone rock this style on their xB yet and the offset is perfect!
Emotion cons:
Gunmetal is not my ideal color choice (I can't afford the WMC chromes)

 

nezart!

 

I can't find a pic of Emotions on an xB, but I used the Kenstyle bB for reference. Even though these aren't Emotions, I think the look would be similar. Actually, the Emotions would be way more flush to the fenders I think....


17x7 +30 (wheels unkown)

 

those are old racing harts

 

I would get the nezarts since they have a nice lip. As for the emotions the 17x8 +25 might stick out a little in the front but the back will be just right. I am running 17x8 +30 Volk GT-U. The front is nice and flush but the rear could use another 7-10 mm to be flush so I got some of vans spacer shims. I would have done a staggered setup but they don't make 17x9 so I got them all the same size so I could atleast rotate my tires. Here is a pic of my install without spacer shims installed yet in the rear hopefully I can get to it this weekend.

 

Your setup look great. What size tires did you use? 215/40/17?

As for the Emotions sticking out, I actually like that look (but not too far out). Plus, the wider width and lower offset, the better chance of getting some kind of dish (inward curve of spokes) which I think would look rad.

Whatever wheels I get, it looks like Van's spacer shims are a must!

 

yeah 215/40/17 but i would probably get 205 for a little more strecthie on the tires.

 

i think the ones that will work the best are the ones you like the most.

 

I was waiting for that! Really though, I can't decide...just wanted to see what people think.....

 

I like the emotions too. Why don't you get those and have somebody powder coat them for you? That way you can get whatever color you want.
My $0.02

 

here's more pics of the nezart spoke 2 (don't know the size and offset of these, they look like 16s?)

 

i personally like the first one though. it is a nice shiny black

 

The emotiones has way too many ricy letters. Unless those are just removeable clear adhesives.

 

the nezart is what i want for my furture xB. but in silver

 

I would also go with the Nezarts. I like the glossy black finish, nice lip as well

 

Nezart !

 

ive always thought that wheels with a fat lip looked dope, and those nezarts are sick. i'd love to put some of those probably 15s on my ride someday..

 

The work emotions only look good at a near 0 offset, where you get the concave spoke action going on.

I say get the Nezarts.

But the trick is to have ONE of your rear lips bigger than BOTH of other peoples rear lips!

 

Yeah, I have seen RSXs and WRXs on EMotions with like +40-50 offset, and I think they look like ___. The best look I have seen was on a Skyline (17x9 +17)....it had plenty of dish going on. Now I am worried 17x8 +25 won't have much dish. :?

As for the Nezarts, I think the +35 just won't cut it.

Looks like I'm getting neither!...I'm just gonna save up for what I really wanted in the first place....Work Meister s1 2pc or SSR Professor Sp1

thanks for the opinions.......
