i recently wrote this for you to help.

(i know that rota`s wheel offset is 40mm and because i can`t find rotas where i live i decided to go with the nippon racing f2 wheels. they are the same as rota slpistreams. the offset is 38mm on those. so the question is about the offset cause i don`t know a bout offset stuff. so is 38 good and what`s the larger offset that an eg can have. by the way they are 15x6.5 weight 10lbs.)

i decided not to get the nippon because of the offset. i thought that the higher the offset towrds positive the wheel will exit the fender. but i see it is all inversed.

so i was looking for good looking wheels and saw the heliums weight at 10.8 pounds but they didn`t give the offset in their web page. so if any body knows, please tell me. and which will look better the bronze or the silver on the white hatch.
i always wanted black wheels so if any body knows companies that make good looking light weight black wheels in 15`s please tell me too.

i believe the heliums are 40 offset, bronze will look tight on a white hatch!!

yup +40 and for bronze wheels!!

Unfortunately the best picture I have since I put them on and it doesn't really show them under proper lighting.

Personally I don't like the bronze that much. I got them for a steal and they're beautifully light. When swapping my tires for autocrossing its nice to be able to just grab a wheel with one hand without any strain. They feel nice and solid over the CDM SiR (US Si) rims I was running previously.

Actually the Konig Heliums are Rota C8s are the same exact wheel. Konig and Rota are the same wheel manufacurer.

rota and konig are the same, look at the back of most konigs, youll see ROTA stamped on them.

Hmmm...

Konig Helium:


Rota C8:


Do they look like the "exact same wheel" to you?

schtozo

so what?
to helium or not to helium on a white hatch??
and the bronze... is it the light bronze like the subaru golds or is it the dark bronze??? on the heliums. i wish if they make it black, but....

Gerst240

i think the bronze heliums would look bad *** on a white hatch

bushfreakz

im thinking about heliums in the silver 15-7 trim

AcidGord

They sell them in 15x7?

They're definitely a dark bronze, not gold or light bronze like Subes. They look killer on black EGs. Wish mine weren't white.

Bodman

what you think they would look like on a dark blue(b96P- Acura TL dark blue) EG???
Hmmm...

no 15x6.5" regardless of the colour...




5bolt and helium mix.

5thGenKing

I think the bronze heliums would look bad *** on any hatch

bushfreakz

when going to heliums from stock did you feel a difference? and what tires are nice but light in weight.. must have better then most grip for street driving

Bodman

what about helium 17's?
in graphite?
to be unique...

Konig helium: Volks CE28N copy
Rota C8: Mugen MF8? Copy. don't remember exact name but it's something mugen.

AcidGord

I went from steels to SiRs (US Si) 15x6's to the 15x6.5 Heliums. The Heliums are definitely more stable on the highway and general driving. Not a dramatic difference but enough. The weight difference was more gradual going from an 18lb steel to a 15lb alloy to a 11lb alloy so I didn't really notice it that much.
