I like it. Looks like a decent buy too.
I'm not sure I'd want them on the front, but I bet they'd be good for the back.

haha well yea. i would order 2 for the back and the 8.5" for the front

9.5" +42 is weak. For reference my old RA3-DT were 9.5 +19 all around, bumped out with 5mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear just to make them semi-flush.
They list a 9.5" +25 that would work better, but that all depends on your preference/alignment/suspension/bodywork/tire/etc.

Calling Borhor, the Wheel Whore or Rodel, the Offset King......LOL

But yeah, the wheels aren't too bad...the offset is a little high though.

I think the wheel itself looks pretty good. I don't know about the offsets though. Good luck.





.......straight to the top.

Yeah, I was looking at those for a long time but they don't come in the right size/offsets to really fit the car agressively...

ok looking wheels, thumb down to the week offset, you would want atleast 35-30 to get semi flush with the fenders.

The wheels design, I don't like. The offsets are too high. Offsets should at least be in the mid to low 30s

Agreed. Something in the mid 30's would allow them to fit without having to roll the fenders. Getting into the 20s would look better but require some rolling.

I would rather buy used JDM wheels that require some elbow grease than new cheap wheels.

would the 42 offset cause it to stick out too much? they do sell these rims in 25 offset. i'm mostly looking for close to flush. i don't think i would mind if it stuck out alittle. i just don't want it tucked in like mine are now(only 8" wide with a 22 offset)

here is a pic on my rims. I have +25 with 19*9.5 and 265mm tires in the back, 8.5 in front. I now have 285mm in the back and I have not touched the fender yet, but its close. This is with eibach pro springs and koni shocks. It works good for me.

that looks sweet man. i have eibachs with kyb struts, so it should be somewhat similar minus the 19's haha

yes and you should have even less clearence problem with 18. But if I would want to lower mine more I would have to roll the fenders. I feel 18 probably is optimal for mk3.. 19 is a bit high.

Non-sense. I have 19s and my car is lowered than most MK3s. :naughty:
