Re: 7" offset

yahoo auction japan have pretty good system for wheel searching
here is the link to the wheel search page:
http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084200183-category.html?
basically you can just enter width, offset and PCD etc... and it will turn out just what you want to find

to type keywords (just FYI ~ you probably know already) ~ 7J means 7" wide wheel, +35 or ET35 for offset value
so just try from 7J +35 to 7J +30 and you'll find every offset you want to look at
just a few i dug up from the search...

7J +35

Re: 7" offset

Actually searching by just sizes will give you limited returns... as long as the seller included those specs in the item heading. Along with "wheels and tires" category there's also a "wheels" category... top page would be here:
http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084005140-category.html
Scope out both cats though, as people post bare wheels in both, as well as wheels with tires in both...

And if you want a narrower wheel (like, say a 7") with decent lip in a higher offset, you'll want to look into some of the cast 1pc wheels with the curved spokes, such as Work's Nezart series, esp the Nezart Spoke

Re: 7" offset

I would have thought there was no point in going for dish with 7" wheels, especially with a 'normal' offset like that... Would look like the C5 replicas i had on my accord - less than an inch of dish and thats only because the spokes were angled. In the end i had wheels that looked smaller than an equivelant flat-faced 17" and no real dish to brag about. Lose-lose situation IMO

Re: 7" offset

as the others have said, there's not much lip to be had on a 7 inch wide wheel. but if memory serves me right, that might be the upper limit for your current car (protege?).

before my accord was totalled, the last set of wheels i had were ssr mk-iii-s:

Re: 7" offset

Yeah, wasn't expecting a lot of lip. 1" at +38 isn't too shabby, but not really worth it.
I guess I'll have to aim for a nice no-lip look after all.
Thanks guys!

Re: 7" offset

I had these 16x8", +25mm for a little while:

Now that's 95mm of lip, albeit "fake lip," it's still quite substantial for a 1pc wheel. The same wheel can be had in 7" width in several offsets, with up to 63mm of lip, which isn't that bad actually. But I will bet you anything that you can squeeze the 16x8", +25mm fitment under a protege's fenders w/o too much work. Hmm of course this is more a euro style wheel than anything, but once you factor a budget into your search, you gotta make some compromises somewhere. And it's better to run a well-fitting "euro" or any non-vip style wheel, than it is to run an ill-fitting vip style wheel
