5zigen MK5's? in hyperblack on a bcp lowered 2" then later 1". ET25MM 7" wide. They look good, IMO. I actually had someone comment "that's about as big as you can get on that, huh?" So, they don't lack for filling the wells, I guess.

actually I had my wheels on her car when I took those pics.
I got them from van phan, scionvan ?? on SL. I think he's part of onetongarage.com I'm not sure if he can still get them, but he had low offsets, which is cool.

I saw this car in the Gallery:
Those are the exact wheels I am looking at, but it is not a profile, just one wheel, and am looking for more.. If anyone knows who has this car or knows where more pics are plz tell me
It would be ideal if they came in 17" 4x100, but they don't and think I can do with 16".
I know more than 2 people have 16" wheels....

I was thinking of running 16s, but found that the 17s were cheaper. Cheaper in tires too, this was a must for the long term, as i have a tendency to run through tires quuickly.
FYI ... i have BSA 17x7.5 with 215/45R17s which fill the wheel wells nicely. And i have the Tein H tech, wich dropped the box about 1 to 1 1/2 " all around. Hit my link in my sig to see pics.

The car in that pic is mine, The wheels made by German company name Tracer. they are 7 years old and discontinued about 3 years ago, very close to the new style of Borbet BS , (I think they bought the design or something) they are 16x9.5 +15 in rear and 16x9 +15 in front, I got them from VW friend after he sold his VW Golf project. Those are my daily driver wheels, and I have my 18s for shows and fun days, I love small wheels on this car, it looks kinda sad/stupid if its not drop like 3" but hey the tires are cheap, these were not "lets put them on and have a drive" set of wheels, I had to run 3 degree camber in rear, roll the fenders and so on Let me know if you have more questions !!
