Wheels for a hawkeye?
 
Im looking to put some rims on the car, lower it and a big brake upgrade next, but unsure on what rims and size rims to go for, im thinking black rims will look nice against the blue.

Things are very limited for a used set of rims. would I be right that any 5x100 rims would fit as long as the offset is within reason?

Im running Rota Force 18x8.5 on my blue Hawk, 5x100 et 48 and will fit fine over brembo brakes, finished in flat black and look smart, give Ruislip Tyres a shout coz got mine from there, cost about a grand wheel/tyre package with 225/40/18 Falkens, mines lowered on Tein Flex Z coilovers and finishes it off nicely

ted bass 19 February 2017 08:07 AM

You could but it will drive like sh!t but look monstrous :)
