^ indeed, great color combination. You should get some clear corners, though.

I was considering those in an 18x9.5 +38. What's the offset on those? And those are actually called the 5Zigen ZR+520 I thought...

Looks clean with the color of the car, I like!

those are the 5Zigen ZR+520 and not ebay wheels. they are the 47 offset .. I hate the oem spoiler , but I don't want to spend 500+ bucks on trunk yet, thats money for the FI kit. Ya the a**holes sent me the wrong colored rims the first time and then the second time with no center caps! but I should get them in two weeks. I also hate the wheel gap right now can't wait until I get the time to put the springs on

very nice looking wheels, goes great with the shinka red. I agree with clear corners, strakes would look good on it too.

I am thinking about these and or a set of WORKS...

Exact same combo, not alot of people have these.

But if I got them, I would go with 9.5 on +37 It would provide ALOT more concavity.

I wanted to do the type III but I wasn't sure of the off set. They do come with center caps but they are chrome with a cf center w/ the letters zr+ which looks really bad w/ bronze rims... so when they send me my new set am going to paint them or something so they look good unless anyone here knows what might fit there instead, and still look good.

i like the color but i really don't like the wheel. i would rather get rota torque, they look much better than this.
