But that said, it sounds like I'm contradicting the whole point of this first paragraph. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. However the wider wheels question pops back into my head a lot. Initial I thought Sportmax would work but after a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of research, they really aren't for me. They seem to stick way too far out the wheel arch and look odd without bolt on fenders.
I've been going through a lot of pics of classic JDM wheels off oldschool drift cars and so on and I like a lot of the Work Equip types, SSR Formula Mesh and Star Sharks, even the infamous Sakura wheels. So that should lay out where my taste lies. The Watanabe's I have on right now are the standard f8 14x6.5 with an offset of about +35 thereabouts. So you can guess they don't reach the tops of the guards.
I've looked into those sites where you can work out your offset and so on using a scroll down menu and type in the figures etc... but to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Shame to admit but I'm relatively naive with this sort of stuff as I've only been bitten by the car bug within the last 2 years. So I'm learning new things every day. And believe me I want to learn.
Now before I get too off topic, there should be enough up top to deduce where I'm going with this but I'll simplify it anyway (for myself more than anything).
I've been looking into those said JDM wheels and some are not as easy to find as I thought (and as you probably know). So I've looked into third party companies who make 'knockoffs'. I know, I know... You get what you pay for and imitation is never as good as the real thing. But factor in that I'm a broke student living at home and not as financially solid as some of you older guys!
I found the Axis OG's to be relatively decent looking and can't seem to find any faults (according to owners on forums). The prices seem to be pretty neat so I'm not complaining there, but I don't wanna jump in and pay for something that will bend, crack or simply weigh a ton.
I'm looking for something in 14" or 15" that is roughly 7.5" wide. I'm not sure on offset but I want dish
I just want to get the edge of the rim to sit level with the top of the wheel arch without resorting to spacers or anything which will result in AAMI dropping me after an accident.So sorry for the long winded novel, hopefully I've outlined what I'm after. I'm not trying to rely on other people to get this done for me, I'm just a been hazy with dimensions and manufacturers. I'm sure a lot of people on this forum (and so I've seen) have a lot of knowledge in this area and I'd be very appreciative to hear some of it!

Forgot to mention the car is a 1990 na6!! Not sure if there is a change in arch size between na and nb.
