Question considering new Wheels

I was considering getting some new 5Zigen USA Pro racer ZR+520 Wheels 18 x 8.5 J, 5h-114.3 deep face Two and +47 offset anybody have any experience with these wheels and this offset? I believe the stock 18" wheel offset is 50? My tires are stock Dunlop Sp Sport 225 45R 18" 91W
These Wheels look good on other similar vehicles and are similar to Works Emotion CR, but spokes come out to rim edge making the wheel look biger.

PS this wheel is not a TPMS wheels so light will stay on. Anyone else have experience with this situation? My nieghbor does this with aftermaket wheels on his for winter tires with no problem except anoying tire presure light when wheels are changed over and switches back for summer and resets monitor.

You have too many colors imo^ Chrome, silver, red, black, yellow fogs, and rust rotors It would look nicer if you lose the chrome fuel cap, paint your rear rotors red, and take the yellow fogs off. I think I posted this before though. The red on the wheels is delicious though

^you need some center caps on your wheels in a bad way, that rust showing through on the hub ruins it.

The works don't come with caps. Atleast I haven't been able to find them for a set I was going to buy.

Enkei NT03+M 17X9.5




it's just spray painted with flat black and clear coated, I'll have it powdercoated when it's time for me to get a new set of tires (Nitto NT01's 274/40R17). I also removed the centercaps so I can get them anodized (black)

d_j,

Why is that gap in your hood so huge near the windshield?

Are those the Tein dampers you have in there?

If Teins, I have them as well and my gaps is about 1/4 of what yours appears to be. Sorry, but that looks messed up!

I have spacers on my hood to create a gap between the firewall and the hood...
aka: hood rise spacers, I've had it my FC and my AE86 and decided to do the same with the 8.
