Daniel, this wheels is a temporary decision, I already bought Linea JZS161 wheels (18*9 and 18*10.5) but is is a winter now in Russia, snow, dirt ... and I use Shmidt 17*7 with Hakka WR G2 225/50...

Not a bad looking ride Maxim ! Welcome to the club mate, do you have any pics of the front of the car? *trying to figure out what sort of body kit that is*

James, car comes with this from Japan ... I think it's a self-made, not brand kit. All of elements of body is a straps.. Some photos with ugly old rims...

Rob, in Russia says 'Na vkus i cvet tovarishey net', that means 'we all have different tastes'. But I'll promise You, I'll think about suggestion about not 3 spoke wheels

Rob, of course You right, but at start of the topic I said that this tri spokes rims is a temporary decision. Old 18" have been too small on width (7JJ) and I can't use 255 tires, that's why I get this 3 spokes (8.5Front and 9.0Rear) and use them.

They are 3 spoke rims too ) But I'll change it to TE37 at spring (march or april) ...when the 'speed season' will start. Now we have snow at streets and acceleration over than 3000RPM is very danger.

I quite like those old wheels. You are right, 7" is too narrow though. Bodykit is way to aftermarket for my tastes - looks like its been slapped on with woodscrews and celotape as an afterthought, but that is very Japanese I guess.

I dont mind that bodykit to be honest. Not too sure about the MASSIVE number plate holder haha. I hope you removed that thing.
TE37s are nice, but a little 'done to death' in my opinion. If you like that kind of jap style rim perhaps consider some WORK wheels, they have some great choices and also perfect offsets to suit the soarer. Hope you have deep pockets though mate!
