I saw this posted on turbobricks, thought some of you might be interested. Wheels are 16" BBS RS. Not sure if the owner is using adapters or if the wheels were redrilled. I think it looks pretty good. Suspension = coilovers.

Awesome! I like it a lot.

Are the wheels 16x8? What size adapters? Whats your final offset?

16 isn't horrible but it feels a bit small... Might work with some different wheels though. Orange and white looks sick!

the car has alot of things going on with it and takes away from it. the wheels pop too much for the colour of the car, the grill to me doesnt work with the white but maybe its the lighting.

It's the lighting. The XC grille looks great with any color, especially white.

Concept is there. It's too bad they are 16s. Even if it was a little lower I don't think it would look right. Seems as if the car is going to "crush" the wheels if that makes sense. I will definitely give you credit for trying, though.

Needs more stretch IMO. 17s would help alot.

Although I hate these wheels...I give you credit for the attempt. They would look sooo much better without so much sidewall. Afterall it's a pretty big sedan and not a 92-95 Civic HB.

I guess I am the oddball, but I really like this. The 16s work as well as I thought they would on the sedan. Very skeptical about on the wagon though. Figure they may get lost in the back. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and give it a go at some point.

I also like it... granted a bit larger in the wheels would help I still like anything that makes me say "haven't seen that before on the Wowo's"

Upon re-examination I think it just needs more dish. Even though I have fake shit on my rig, the lippiness helps and would make the sidewalls look better. I think the pics and lighting aren't helping the cause either. If Mike Gilbert or Burroughs shot the car our jaws would all be on the floor.
