    If you had to choose between those two colors, I guess bronze. I'd recommend black centers with either polished or silver lips for a red car.

      Wouldn't et0 with a spacer be negative offset? Or that was just a typo, and you mean et20?

        I dont think so... im pretty sure the wheel would hit the strut tower so i need to run a spacer to clear it.

          I would recommend asking this question in the Wheel and Tire Fitment thread before you buy these... I'm pretty sure that low of an offset is really going to stick out unless you have fender flares or something since our cars come with quite a bit of positive offset from the factory (et24 for 15x7 euroweaves). Best of luck to you...

              I am running 15x8 et25 with 10mm spacers in front, makes it et15, early model on 205/50. The wheel is pretty much flush, maybe 2mm poking passed the fender. Also sitting on ie3 Springs, they rub the fenders coming in and out of driveways.

              With et0 15x8 you will be 15mm further out than where I'm at now.

                thanks for the input i may go with 15x7 +20 based on some of your guy's input. Will go with bronze for the color.
