That's right.^ I guess with the right color combo, some folks might consider adding them to their custom wheels, it's fairly inexpensive to try it and see if it works with your wheels or not.

Nice job Mike, I like it!

Thanks Ryan, it's amazing how much better the car looks now. The stripes give it a subtle accent, and sort of brings it all together. The wheels I'm saving for have a similar look, only BETTER! Can't wait to get them and get the glass tinted, then I will be sportin' like all you guys!

Here's the wheels I'm aiming for, they Raderwerks M TEN 80 BR's, but I will have them paint the red stripe Hot Lava orange..

They have a custom paint feature>http://www.raderwerks.com/

Nice wheels! Anyone ever hear of Nexo wheels? I found some that were on a 06 TC not too far from me. Anyone know if they will fit? He said they come with Nexen tires and hub centric rings.

The bolt pattern should be the same, (5X100). If the offset is close to +35? they should work.

The offset is + 45
So what would that do to the handling and appearance? Is a hub centric ring some sort of spacer? Sorry to sound dumb, but is the higher offset going to make the wheel stick out further by 10cm?

The way I understand it, is that the higher the positive offset the further in the wheel and tire will be in relationship to the fender. In other words a +35 offset wheel will sit more flush to the fender than a +45 wheel. I believe you could even run a 10mm spacer with those wheels to get them to be more flush to the fender if that is what your after.

See the illustration below and you will understand the concept.

There are some really sharp people here that know this stuff really well, and one of them might pop in here and add more info.

Where are you Martin?
