while looking at the Equips, a seller online posted these as equips, but they look slightly different. so i asked him about it and he said these are "Rays Sebring Zeiger 5" and that they look just like the equips. i mean there not equips, but u cant go wrong with rays as well.

does anyone know about these wheels? i cant find any info or pics on them anywhere online at all.

hes asking $900 plus shipping. is that a good price for 17x8 / 9 staggered

Actually sounds high for 17's to be honest.  Are they in pristine condition?

yea they said no curbage or anything. yea its hard to say whats high for me when i cant find these wheels anywhere =/


you think those could work as a replacement for the equips?


im not feeling the web too much.

hey, i think you should get 18+, 17's are too weak unless your putting them on a honda "fit" or maybe a hatchback civic. please dont put those small wheels on your tl

too small for your sedan..way too small.  Get 19s.

+1, Tam your car would look sick dumped on 19"......honestly I don't even like the painted center.....:shrug:

haha i cant afford 18" tires at this point. these will definately be temps. Im gonna do euroline SL's or something in that range.

but why staggered on a FWD?

IMO you should find a working offset all around, no need to stagger.:shrug:

:pat: 

vzupt, just save for 18s... 17 looks small on a TSX, never mind TL.

is it bad if i stagger on a FWD? 

sorry i dont know bout rear wheel drive cars at all. is it cuz of the added grip for the rear?


btw fire, what car is in your sig? is it from another country?

if you pull off a staggered setup I say go for it!it will be unique and a nice look.

[QUOTE=GSing430;133518]but why staggered on a FWD?[/QUOTE]

Because...

1) VIP is about aesthetics, not mechanics.
2) a bigger lip in the rear is better than running spacers.
3) stagger wasn't invented for rwd guys.
4) ...wait, are you sure you shouldn't be in VIP101?

My bad, i didn't realize asking the question "why would you put staggered wheels on a FWD" require me to be in VIP101. The first thing to be consider VIP is to have a platform car and i don't recall any being FWD.

A bigger lip is better but does not require a stagger set up to achieve it. That's why there's custom offsets. 

To the OP, nothing against FWD and what you wish to do with your but you should atleast get 18" .... 17" seems to be stock size ( at least for the type S)

my fwd has staggered. it has no impact on drive. but definitely is vital for a nice look

no offense taken, i know my car is not vip nor will it ever be. im just tuning it up a little until next year when i pick up a F50 Q45.

i do currently have 18's on my car and they are nice, but i wanna go as low as possible once i have my air suspension in. plus the 18's i have, the offset is way too aggressive. check out my new thread. lol

Yo man, your doing the right things, which consist of asking questions. I believe we all do the best we can and w/ what we got. Sometimes peeps just forget about the ride that got them to where they currently are, which i'm sure may not have been VIP or styled in the fashion. My advice, money aside (because it takes more then that to put a clean ride together IMO), Find a pic of a hooked up car you like, cut it out and post it up and don't settle or stray, just go for it! As far as prices go, there are hook-ups all over this site.....GL

thats real talk auggie, i like that. +1

Same width but lower offset in the rear is still staggered track, just not widths.

The way I see it, if you can fit a wider wheel and performance isn't an issue, might as well, it does look better.

oh and vzupt, my car is a Protege... different names in different places but available worldwide.
