They're COOL, that's what they are! (Do I get a door prize?) :)

from old toyota think supra? yes/no maybee!

Those rims look sweet. I like them alot better than your old ones.

edit: Im guessing old Bimmer wheels?

don't know what kind they are, but i agree- they are cool. what size are they? also, what type of tires do you have?

jeep cherokee?

Old skool Dakota pickup truck..

To me, they look like old school Mugen rims.

lol,

They are old school Work wheels off of a 300zx. 16x8 3pc wheels.

I'm running 245/70/16 BFG KOs

Nice: Did you raise your E back up to stock?

Great looking rims!!! Sometimes older means better!!! Best looking rims i have seen on a "E" in my opinion. :twisted:

yup, and it sits about an inch higher than stock.

245/70/16 fit? Wow!!! I thought the biggest size was 235. I guess I need to change my options for winter tires for next year.

well. i had 235/70/16 BFG KOs and they worked fine w/o problems on stock height. But after i raised the car a bit, i got more room, plus i can use a bit wider tire too so w/o having to go 75 which raises the overall tire height by half an inch, the 245/70 is only about .1 to .2 higher than the 235/70. so its obvious if there is room, it'll work. However, the overall width would cause a problem. thats why i went with 16x8 tires with lower offsets. their in the 20s, stock offsets are around 40s. this pushes out the wheel, and especially pushes the tire away from the shock tower. THe tires stick out about half an inch to an inch which makes it look like a lifted truck. I just love it! It splatters water all over the place. I feel bad for ppl drivin behind me.

I also spaced out the rears by over 8mms to match the fronts because the element is a tad bit wider in the rear so w/o the spacers, the wheels actually sit "inside" the fenderwell. With it, it looks even allowing all 4 wheels to look right where they belong.

which old set? i've gone through 3 different sets of wheels.

lol, yea. i swap wheels on my BMW like once a month.

Wait....Wait....Wait!!!

But after i raised the car a bit, i got more room,

You raised the E?

How?

What did you use?

Give us the details.

I would love to raise mine about an inch or so.

Nice Looking "E"!!! - I think im gonna drop the idea of 18's on my E... My Ro_ja formula 5 wheels are on its way (18x7+42) & pirelli 225/55/18. well. after seeing yours, i should have followed my first instinct-mugen mf10 17x7or8+38 in bronze w/ 225/60/17 or 235/60/17 on 8's. im still a believer of taller rubber = better ride!... o well..

Isn't it fun!!!! With my Civic I was never satisfied. I always wanted something better and newer. But with my 18's on my E, I'm satisfied.
L.

damnit i want more pics. :grin:
and also would like to know what you used to rais the E.

-tom :)

Hi,
I noticed that you got old skool rims that might be off a rwd vehicule and I was wondering if you knew if toyota truck rims would fit and clear an element?? Any reply will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Elemento
