sprint rims what do you think

Hi every one do you like these rims on my sprint 17x7 I'm not that keen on chrome

Not me, I think you need brighter rims rather than dark ones.

It depends... I like the design and the color but you will have to tint the windows a bit to match the rims but generraly it will darken the car.

Otherwise choose something lighter...

IMO a classic 5 spoke design would look better - I think the Sprint needs light colour wheels with a lot of metal in them - those small brakes wont look good behind too open a wheel

What he said!

P

This was my 1.7 Sprint with 15" Zender wheels - still think they look fantastic on a Sprint. 16's would look even better - 17" could look too big on a Sprint

I have bought these reems 7jx15x38...I will use 195x50x15 tire so it will look sweet. I will install them by the end of the week. I got them from a wrecked 75 veeery cheap...

Thanks i have 4 spot calipers from a nissan 300zx twin turbo that is part of my brake up grade plan it's easier to rego with stock brakes will be changing every thing over once on the road still have sort out rotors yet,17's are my only choice with these brakes.

What size rotors are you planning with these calipers? Maybe 305x28mm discs from a Fiat Coupe would fit or you may need to get specialist ones if you plan to go bigger - what width of disc are the 300zx calipers designed for?

A lot of wheels have problem to fit over 4 pot calipers so be careful of your choice.....not that there are many 17" wheels out there for Alfa or Fiat Coupe bolt pattern

Im running a 315mm front disc with a 16" wheel. I personally think that 17" is too big for a Sprint and you will have clearance probs, especially if its lowered - and you will need to lower it with 17"s or it will look like an off-roader!

i like those wheels
im going to go 15 inch wheels on mine as im going to lower the ride height with uprated springs as it makes the sud handle a lot better and you font get so much lift when accelerating .

There are couple of sprints with 17''and they look really good but it required some mods to fit...

Too big for me - sorry

looks like there's no tyre and you're running on the rims

I've been looking for 15" zender wheels for my sprint for ages, anyone know if anyone is making any like these still?

Im using 300mm rotors with 4 pot Hi spec calipers at the mo under 16 inch wheels, Big wheels IMO only look good if you can lower the car to hide as much of the tyre as possible under the arch. Might be alot of cutting and beating of the car body, also the red stripe looks dodgy I would go for a polished outer rim and black spokes....like mine!!! .

I dont think I have seen this type of Zender wheels for sale for a long time.

These might make an interesting alternative
