My wheel of choice. Gold in color.
Won't be that big. More than likely 16's

Those are pretty sweet. I really like simple wheels like that. Honestly, I think Bronze would go better with flame red.

I do know, But it wont be nothing, go to A-Users integra log, [the DC] They concave some for being 16's.

Thats exactly why I chose them. I hate busy wheels.

those are at least a 20mm offset.
the ones that would fit a Neon would have almost no concave at all. (35-50 offset)

just want to make sure you know that those wheels on a neon won't look anything like the ones on the STI pictured.

Eh, It's hard to imagine it on a neon when you don't post any with them on a neon, granted if there is any. Colors can be decieving too, but yes, there is little to none concaving on the miata. Still <3 the grids.

I was showing the difference in the offset and how it changes the concave and the look of the wheels. The Miata has a 40mm offset and no concave. That would be very similar to a Neon as that offset is about the average that you need to fit properly. Now you need to see if the Grid is even offered in a 5x100 lug pattern in a 16x7 size.
I like the Grid wheels, don't get me wrong, but the lack of concave on the 35-50mm offset makes them look very bland.

Didn't think so.
Argh, I'll stick with the grids in gold anyways.

Gold/bronze wheels look awesome on red cars. Actually it works with nearly every color aside from orange and yellow.

just run a lower offset, dial in some negitive camber, go a little lower,roll your fenders and make it work, more people need to start trying lower offsets on the neon.

Try telling wheel companies to make wheels that fit the 5x100 lug pattern that aren't 18+ inches.
I am going lower. I will roll my fenders. Not until I have these rims though, and thanks Donkeypuncher.

^^ just keep an eye out on the for sale forums on vwvortex, lots of there cars are 5x100.and many of the wheels are adaptable to our cars. you may be surprised how many wheels there are to choose from if you have a little cash

so 16x8 with a +20 mm offset would be impossible on a neon? what if like stated before we rolled the fenders and negative camber would it be possible then or would it still be too big of a wheel thanks in advance

the problem isn't with outwards, the problem is inwards, you don't have enough room.

coilovers might get you the needed room, or are you talking about hitting the caliper/rotor?

i they look sexy. imo, 35mm offset will look fine; and if you want the "flush look" just add spacers and roll the fenders.


[/quote]Yup it definately needs to go lower. If its not scrapeing constantly why you are driving then its not low enough bro.

I wanna roll my fenders. I'm still have my eyes set on this rim. It's either these or white RPF1's
