I prefer the 02-03 specv wheels personally.They look hot on keo's blue nx that was posted earlier in the thread.
I never have like the 04 up style.Even on P11s...meh.

But then again,I am running the "played out" se-l wheels on my car and perfectly happy with them..

Anyone know an approximate price that it would cost me to do the conversion by swapping hubs for a b14? I did some work in paint and I actually like the way it came out. Also, whats so bad about using adapters? I dont have any experience with them hence why I am curious to know why the majority of people are against them. Sorry for killing your thread b13sentrase-r.

I still think they're one of the best looking wheels for our cars though. It's such a clean look with b14 se-r/se-l wheels.

No no not killin it...we can let the info fly in here. Everybody can learn a little something. But did you mean b15 hubs? since they're the ones that are x114.3. Let's see what you came up with on paint. Nothings wrong with using adapters, I just have the b15 hubs and huge brakes up front which is why I did it in the first place. But if you're just looking to run a different set of wheels then adapters are perfectly fine. Very easy to install and you could fit 5 lug wheels on if thats what you wanted to do. Theres so many different adapter setups to choose from...

I'm waiting for the OP to post a picture of his car from the side (or any B13), and post pictures of the wheels he wants me to use (also from the side) so I can have something to work with. I'm not going to spend time hunting down pics if I'm doing someone a favor. The least they can do is help out.

I do think dganic23 gave it a valiant effort.

^^^ wow that looks pretty real!!
Great job,I like the way you only changed the rims,not tires.Makes it look better,IMO

It's not to scale, the actual rim size compared to the car would be a little different. The brake calipers are on the wrong side.

It looks nice IMO, especially with the color of the car. Im thinking about going this route as well. Where can these adapters be found? Only place Ive found is ebay and to be honest I dont really trust their build quality too much.
