The Gold Konig Feather definitely won't fit. You need to get wheels that have the proper bolt pattern (5x114.3, I believe). Definitely worth doing some research on the patterns of the other wheels, as well. Quick search says that the others have this, but also look at the offset.

No the Konig Feathers will fit. They come in a 5 bolt pattern.

Plus Allen wouldnt put up a 4 bolt pattern wheel on a forum where 99.9% of the wheels are 5 bolt :chuckle

No idea if these will fit.. but I think these would look sick..

I have prokits and 18"s on my car.. no issues yet.. little stiff and bumpy, but acceptable.

They would fit... i'm running the Evo 5... same offset, similar design.

[huyzel]

the hyper gunmetal would look pretty good with the chrome door handles
... methinks.

Do you mind posting a picture of your car with the rims?? :)

Hahahaha, oh, I didn't realize that these were coming from Allen. He would never sell something like that here, and would never try to pull the wool over any of our eyes. :bana2

[JiNuWiNe]

Which springs should I use?

[LockOut]

I thought you were going with the ProKits?

[allen@simplytire.com]

LOL.... I don't even have any 4-bolt wheels in stock...

That picture I have of the Feather is a 4-bolt, but the ones I have in stock are 5x114.3 with a +45 offset....

Jinuwine, you should take a look at the new thread I started with pics of some cars with different wheels... might help you with your decision...

I personally vote for the Konig Feather, or RSV in bronze !!! Especially if you are lowering it... you should see how nice Ex-Rolla' car turned out...

[Ex-Rolla]

Here you go

Thanks again Allen!

Is that a 17 or 18? Not sure which one to get. How's the ride on 18?

[allen@simplytire.com]

The ride on 18" is not that harsh... but 17" is a little more comfortable.

Must agree with you, I have 18" RX8's with a progress drop, and the ride is very stiff, when I had my konig random 17" I really enoyed the rides with them, more conformtable.
