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.

Nope...

My heliums:

 

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?

 

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....

 

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

 

im thinking about heliums in the silver 15-7 trim

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.
