What do you think you these rims n my car? Also if there are any pics of them on a car. I believe I shouldn't have too many problems putting on a 17x 8.5 should I? What should the offset be? I know you can put 16x9's on so will this fit?
rim is a CR7 from RPI

lol, now even the former japanese-style guys want CR7s!
They are very nice rims, and are all the rage these days. I've only known about them for about 2 years, and they've gone from being unknown to everyone wanting a set in the last 6 months..

Re: what you think of these rims? (LostBoyScout)

Changing the look of my car over winter. It is going to have more of a euro racing type of look. no Japanese styled rims and it is going to have teo race seats and a roll cage for interior. the reason why I am asking about these rims because I thought it would be different. I haven't seen anyone in north america wih them, yes I have know about these rims for about 1 1/2 years but never knew where to get them or what they were called.
But back to the topic, Will it fit? pics?

One thing though. I have a similar center cap on mt tsw's. I took off the screw in mount for the c caps and machined off about 1.5 inches, and put a VW cap on the screw on nut. They get a cool stock look while keeping the style of the rim that you want. I haven't had the time to take a photo of the new setup yet, but its saturday tommorrow, so I will do it then. Check back sometime tommorrow and I will post pics for you in this thread. They look sweet that way trust me http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Love those wheels! Personally...I don't think I'd get them though 'cause in 6 months they won't be rare on the 'tex anymore. I know...that's a stupid reason to not buy wheels...but I like rare and obscure stuff to make a one of a kind dub.http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

tsw hock r's with a thicker lip...uh-oh, looks like the euro-style is going wayward of NA gti styling circa 1997.

I think the Revo's look 100 times better with that center cap. I would rock old school Revo's with that center cap
