I need opinions! Would those look good on a CSM? Also, what spacers will I need to run to fix the et50 in the front and/or in the rear?

I'm not completely opposed to them, I like how they have a metallic look to them. But you might worry about the offset. They are not going to sit flush.

i love the volks but the problem is the offset is 50. you would need to get a spacer of probably 15 mm in order to have them fit better and even them they'll look kinda small

Thanks for the responses, but I think I'll pass 'em up. Nebster was right by saying even with the spacers, they'll still look a little weird. I'd hop on these if the offset wasn't so high. I also probably could've gotten the price down to $1000 since he said it was negotiable and had some money to powercoat them a different color IF blue didn't look as good as I thought. What really interested me in these wheels were that they were something different, the fact they were Volks , and the bolt pattern. EVERY time I find a set of wheels in my area that seem good, the bolt pattern is always something stupid like 5x114.3. >_>

go with the cr-kai or the Proracers ZR520, the xd9s on flints in mass. won't look very good. i think it's too many spokes for that region of the world. kills the whole wheel and the look of the car.

*this only applies if you get them in bronze. any other color and you'll be fine. it'll look great.







pics are inside my apt., took them like 6 months ago

thanx, i envy myself b/c they're not on my car yet. and i'm sure that if my car could, she'd curse me for not having them on. i'm getting there though, big change coming hopefully a little after mid month

well i wanted to wait until they were on the car but i couldnt resist.







from what i was told, the set that i got is the last set that is ever going to be made in this color. it is bright satin. the color was only made for tire rack and they are no longer going to be carrying this particular model of ssr wheels. so i think they are somewhat rare.
