After seeing Julians(Dr.Kwak) Beautiful black turbo NX at the Se-r Convention, I am looking for some 15 or 16" wheels with a +35mm offset. I've done some looking and have only found a few. I know of 15" Enkei RPF1s and RPO2-Js and 16" SSR Competitions.
Does anyone have any suggestions on some other wheel choices?
Thanks in advance

Yeah, please go with a 35 or less. I like the 40mm on mine, but to inward in the rear, if you know what I mean. Spacers are a must to fill that gap.

Try looking on VWVortex.com, there's usually some lower offset wheels for sale on there. I've got 15x6.5 BBS' with a 32 offset from a Corrado on my NX.

whats the lowest offsett you can go with on a b13 that you can fit under the stock fenders?

Depends on rim width but I'm not past the fenders yet with my wheels. High 20s or 30 in the front and mid 20s in the back would still be inside the fenders I think with a 6.5 inch wide rim.

ATS Comp Lites are +35 offset as well in a 15x7, but Americas Tire discontinued them.

TE-37's come in +35 offset, pricey though.
I have 16 x 7 rota grids with +40 offset. I run a 10mm spacer in the rears and i brings it almost flush with the fender lip. I have the 215/45-16 azenis and with a 15mm spacer in the rears they would rub the outside with the rear fenders rolled. I machined 5mm of for clearance and all is well.

Kosei's are 38. You can get the Team Dynamics in a 35 offset.

Thanks guys. I am working on getting a set of 16x7 BBS wheels with the 35mm offset.

You realize that offset is dependent on width?

Yes I do. And to play it safe, I bought the exact size wheel that I have already seen on an NX, so I know it will fit and look good.
