What color well I've had about 20 ideas so far but I really don't know yet. I like the idea of straight black or white Barry White I cant decide.

black would look cool but makes them very hard to see and they would probably just look like normal steels. perhaps an "off black" charcole or something.. i dunno
they look real sweet though. how did you end up doing them? taking the centres out and flipping or what?

Henwood Automotive did the widening not to happy with the quality of the welding but I'm fairly fussy in that area.
The centers been flipped and a band added on the inside. I was fairly conservative with the offset I dont want any rubbing issues.
If any of you guys know where anymore of these rims are that would be great none of the wreakers u here have any.

What are they off?? I'll have a look round for them..
Look cool, hmm, perhaps satin black with a white/silver pinstripe running round the "dished" part of the rim, and also a white/silver ring around the outer round part where the studs go..

N14 Pulsar/Sentra I see them around on cars just none at the wreakers. I knew this before I got this one widened but I was set on that center so I did it anyway I like the black idea with white on the lip or silver.

Should paint the centres blue ;D Would look sweet with the colour I reckon and I don't really think black wheels do themselves any favours.
Looks real good though. Stoked that you want to go lower but think very carefully before you do, as it will cause issues. In and out of driveways isn't actually usually a problem, unless its going to belly out. The approach angle on t-cars (or old cars in general) is good, its more the road camber, bumps, pot holes, manhole covers and all that other crap that will catch you out.
My chevette isn't actually that low suspension wise, its far higher than when I had my 17's on but the crossmember is around 45mm off the ground, purely because of the small rolling diameter of the 13's.

That is true, I'm already surprised at how much clearance I've lost simply by bolting on the Superlites. It needs to be waaaaay lower too, although I don't think I'll go quite as far as Mikuni.
