I'm looking at getting my first set of rims for my Hot Lava xB. I like these American Racing Hustler rims in 18" and getting the chrome inserts powder coated to match my car. Just looking for some opinions on it. Thanks
   

DO IT!!!

Do the rims but don't buy from "Wheels Next"! My wife works for a credit card company and tells me this store has to many issues with shipping the right item or shipping at all. You should look at a discount tire direct dot com or someone else...

I think they would look great!

put the rims you like on your car. its ultimately gonna be you that looks at them everyday so make sure you like em, and Eff what anyone else thinks.

i like those rims

Definitely. Just make sure the center cap is NOT cheaply made. I can't stand seeing nice rims and then a cheap faded center cap.

yea thoes are nice... get em.

I like the look of them but are you sure they fit 4x100 lug? Just by looking at it I'd say its probably for a bigger lug vehicle. If they are 4x100 and you HL the inserts it would look hawt!

They come in 4X100 with a 40 ET, I don't know much about rims and such but i assume the 40 ET is the offset. What would I need to do to get the rims flush with the car?

The fronts will be close but the backs will sit a little inside, might need 10mm or 1/2" spacer in the rear if you want them to look the same.

Sweet they come in 4x100. Do you know what width they are? its probably either 7", 7.5", or 8". You would need to know that before you could know what size spacer to run to sit perfectly flush.

here is a great wheel tire calculator.

the stock wheel size is 15x6 38 ET

They're 8" and thanks again for all the inputs.

ok with them being 8" wide with the 40 offset, id say a 20mm spacer would do you nice.
are you lowered at all?

but............. the thing your going to notice right off the bat after putting the wheels on is that the back wheel sit further under the wheelwell.
to get them even you would have to do another 10mm in the rear only

ive always been against wheel spacers, to much can go wrong.
the meny years that i worked in a shop it was always S.O.P. that if we got a car in the shop to do work on the breaks or somthing that needed us to take the wheels off and we found wheel spacers................................................
we would put the wheels back on and get it out of the shop and tell the customer that "it was too much of a liability for us to work on it with the wheel spacers installed"


did you alread order thease wheels?
if not, with you wanting the wheels to stick out further then id get a lower offset, something around the 20 or 15 range.

i think you might have a problem runnin those wheels with any spacers because of the width and offset combo, im not sure thow.
ive never looked in to going to a larger offset.
