And I got that link from this thread which also has plenty of info to help you choose wheels based on fitment: http://www.sr20-forum.com/information-library/29119-definitive-tire-thread.html

If you want my personal opinion on the wheels, I like the Konig wheels better of your two choices. However I would recommend something else entirely if you're open to other choices. What are you looking for in a wheel? The 949 Racing makes the 6UL wheel which is light, strong, affordable, comes in great sizes for us, bronze is an option, and they look killer in my opinion.

I think you should consider this: 15x7.5 6UL bronze




man I do like these rims and style a whole lot! Thats the look im going for with the spokes.
but ben if Yosho said the center caps dont fit i wouldnt want them! ben do you know if the center caps will fit.

and i think the drags look good on the car I have a picture here:http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.152424678118284.38501.100000522594207&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=200345803326171&set=a.152424678118284.38501.100000522594207&type=3&theater on the previous owner's facebook. I like the look. but I do like Bens suggestion a little better! Just wish the caps would fit.

Plastic center caps are for pussies. IJS.


I don't see why the center caps wouldn't fit in the rear. They should. You may have to remove the factory dust cap, but they will fit. If not, the factory dust cap is a pretty good center cap as well.

The problem is usually in the front because the axle sticks out too far. If I were you, I would have no problem cutting down the long end of the axle to make the center caps fit. That won't hurt anything.

Why don't they fit though? What's what we need to find out.

I'm almost positive if you're willing to cut down your axle that they will fit just fine. Who is Yosho and how do we get in contact?

...and put a 5mm spacer on the rear to get the rear to fit.

You should buy them in black
...shameless plug

There has to be a way around that. Maybe some trimming of the hub or more likely the center cap. And maybe some epoxy to hold the cap on instead. I'm sure something could be done?

It would sure be nice if 949Racing would adress it since these wheels are becoming so popular for our cars,too.
