Yakozan, I like the one's you posted too - go for it!
:confused: What did I post??

Topper.
I would go 18" because I think they look better on the car.
But the tires are more expensive and comfort is not as good as with 17"

17" should be the better choice, but 18" looks better.
You decide :thumbs:

I just wish I could find some SSR Integrals for mine...
:) :D :thumbs:

I think SSR in the US still makes some wheels.
Not sure though, but try looking on american wheels pages. Could be worth a shot.

I got in trouble for putting that on here :mad: :nod:

So will 17s with a real offset be lost in the arches?? No-one got 17s on here?
I would go for 18's if I were you. In saying that, all my rims are in 17's at the moment. My next set of street rims will be either 18's or 19's

Ah you see that add's another side to it, street rims will be ok at 18s, but what about trackdays, would i need a spare set of 17s for that, Or would the 18s do?

i only do a couple of trackdays a year, so i wouldnt want to have two sets of wheels as i have no room for them at the moment.

I have been told i should be loooking at getting the following for an S15 with stock fenders -
Front - 18" x 7.5J +35
Rear - 18" x 8.5J +43

Thats a bit :ghey: aint it

you would be able to get away with 18x8 and 18x9 with standard guards also, around +32ish offset.... maybe some high performance street tyres which you could use both on street and track? :thumbs:
