Gotta find these... or something close - they have a real lip AND they tuck! It's hard to tell exactly what size they are, but they seem like they might be a solution to something I find annoying. It seems that I can either have a 7" rim w/ a 40mm offset (too flat-faced) or an 8" rim with a zero offset (sticks out too far) - there's nothing in between that I can find. How 'bout a 7" rim w/ a zero-20mm offset? I like the looks of these rims as well as either the Rota Jmags or the XXR 501's... or even the Rota OSR 1570's (REALLY like these, but they don't seem available anymore). 16" diameter would be premium, but 15's are OK, too. I'm gonna wait until I find the right wheels... not just gonna buy whatever for the sake of having rims... they gotta keep me up at night!

they look like the Drags DR 20gs

SUITE! Yep.... DR 20's. Don't know why I couldn't find these before. The zero offset isn't available in 16's, but I can live w/ 15's. FINALLY - old school look with the proper width and offset. These should be a perfect fit with a mild drop (around 1.5") on an EG hatch.
Thanks, Toot.... you be a king!

...oh yeah - AND they're $420 clams SHIPPED. Now I can afford to fling more $$$ at the hatch. It's a GOOD day!

haha no prob, my homie showed Drag rims saying they look good and theie cheap too. these are sick *** rims. where are you getting yours from?

I'm picking them up from erzperformance (online). $420.00 shipped. 15x7, +10mm offset. I could get them right here at Discount Tire, but they cost more. Luckily, I know some guys that work at the local wrecking yards, and they have those digital tire balancers. Toss 'em a case of beer, and I won't have to shell out $100.00+ for mount/balance. Now I need to decide on the appropriate tires. Considering my drop is going to be pretty tame, I think 205/50/15's will be the right choice - AND that size is real inexpensive. I'm glad that I'll be going w/ 15's 'cuz I'll end up with a decent amount of sidewall for day-to-day driving.
All that's left to do is decide whether I wanna use drop coils or "spring" for coilovers. Coilover prices seem to be pretty out of control... I just can't see paying $1,000.00 or more.

look at wesko industry website, they got coilovers for 630-900 bucks. they got some pretty good deals there too
