Not that I would put them on but what I'm trying to figure out is the whole "offset thing".

yes those will fit....your lug is a 5x4.5 or a 5x 114.3

the offset thing gets really tricky

zushwa

I don't think a +23 offset will fit.

yah that's what I'm thinking. Not all 114.3 x5 wheels would work.

We need a Wheel GURU.....MANARAY GET YOUR *** OVER HERE....

BLiu

engineyr,

You know that if you call Manaray in, the first thing he is going to tell you that those rims should not be seen in the near vicinity of your Lex. LOL

PS Even the model looks cheap, sheesh...

He might have his comments about knock-offs but he knows his shiat. I'm trying to "learn" here....We all are.

pvmike1

hehe, knock off model (the girl, not the rims i mean)

enginyr

I just found some rims that are a 20" with a 30 offset. SOMEONE HELP!!!

tinygs

Nope....not even close...
Need to stay between +38 and +45 w/20's.
Stay between +35 and +45 w/19" or smaller.
+30 means the wheel will stick way out towards the street. With 20's you can not afford to have the edge of the fender sitting DIRECTLY above the tire. Any decent size bump will be shredding the tire and possibly damaging you fender, plus it will start to look ghetto below +35.

Here is the set. I reeally want these but the guy says they're a 30 offset. Is there some modding I can do to the rim to fit this bad boy in. By the way Tiny, thanks for the post, this offset thing is starting to make sense.

I really don't care that they're Knock offs..Until Weds comes out with a 20" version.....

Manaray

If you want a simple and inexpensive 5 spoke wheel, why not just get the MODA R6?



Brent - I agree with you on the model!

As for offset, what Tiny said is correct...30 offset...no no no...unless you're going to do a WIDE BODY... Or you could do it GHETTO style and get a circular sander to get a better offset! (that's a joke BTW!)

As for the Zenetti's, I wouldn't be so DESPERATE as to buy Zenetti's...I'd rather buy 19" Weds than 20" Zenetti's...come on, don't Honda Civic Ricer your car...I can see someone with a Accord trying those wheels simply because they're 20's and they're cheap. There is a reason why they're that cheap.

What you need for doing wheel offsets and whatnot is a PROFESSIONAL tool...this is what wheel MANUFACTURERS use...This product is patented in the USA so don't bother trying to make knock-offs. You'll get sued beyond belief....

PM me if anyone is interested in buying one...

enginyr

You can't compare the look of a 19 and a 20. Night and day...So there's no choice but to go to the Mystics.

Will these tires fit...:eek:


Aren't my stock rims made the same way the Mystics are made?

tinygs

Actually........... If you posed the question:
What are THE absolute simplest design, good quality, timeless style, GREAT price, available in staggered size, easy to come by, 19" that look HUGE???????????? I would HAVE to say the MODA R6.....Ask TXStyle, he bought them and then had them chromed.
I havent seen his car yet, but, I did see 19" silver R6 on an SC400 here in Austin and it was sick!!!!!!!
Now, if you must go knock off, I will admit that you landed on the EXACT wheel(Mystic) that I was about to purchase before I was shown the "no knock-off" light. heehee
As a point of reference, go through the older pics in the GS gallery(start in March 2001 and work your way forward) and you will find a Silver GS w/20" Mystics.......Looks really good. Tiny

Manaray

Enginyr - The tires would be the right size if you have a staggered setup...8.5" wide wheel in the front and 9.5" wide wheel in the back...but the Zittnitties only come in 8.5"...besides, the +30 offset won't work, you're going to rub like crazy...

While the Moda is not a wheel that I would buy (simply because I can afford to buy something like the Work Equips or HRE 545's), for the money, it's a good solid wheel...and since the spokes go to the edge, it looks bigger than a wheel with a lip. I have no reservations about recommending these wheels for that price bracket...

You want to be a "baller" with 20's but you're buying $1000 20's..."ballers" don't buy $1000 20's bro... Come on, don't be a "wannabe baller"...

Why not just save up some more cash? What's the rush to get the wheels? You selling your car soon or something? You're starting to get desperate...I can see it...I'm telling you, take a step back...you'll regret getting into something just because you want it "now"...ask other members who rushed their cars...they just end up spending more money later to "correct" their original mistakes...
