pics of 3rd gen w/ 4th gen ws6 rims

Anyone have a 3rd gen with 17 inch silver ws6 rims from a 4th gen on their car? I'd like to see some pics, thanks.

Well there isn't a 16" version of the WS6 rims. All 4th gen WS6 rims are 17" painted or 17" polished...not chrome. The 16" chrome rims were available on the non-WS6 TA's.

And yes, those rims on sonar's car are the 16" chrome rims.

Yes, it is 16", and not necessarily the WS6 rims, although they are pretty much identical to them. Instead of saying WS6 on the centercap, it says.. ABS.. LOL!

You are right...they are damn near identical...with the exception of the centercap, diameter, and finish.

Sonar-Un what size spacers did you use all the way around. I'm looking at the 17x9 10 spoke wheels.

I want to use the 4th gen rear, but want to minimize the spacer size up front. Can you get away with a 1.75" spacer?

Also, if you used 2" it looks damn sharp and I feel more comfortable w/ the spacers...

thanks
