Default Foose Nitrous 5's **Pics**

For those of you wondering what the Foose Nitrous 5's look like. Here is a few pics of them on my new project. 18x8.5's up front with 245's, and 18x10's out back with 295's. Tires are the new Nitto Invo's. Dropped with Eibach Sportlines. Excuse the crappy pics. Cloud cover makes for shitty pics!

That looks soooo much better than those in chrome...I think the FOOSE wheels can look really tacky in chrome, but those looks freakin great man! Great job

I was fearing chrome when I clicked on this link, but those gray centers look 10000x better than the same wheel in chrome. Nice choice!

Thanks guys. I wanted black but I was told they don't make them in black anymore. Shaun, the tires are good so far. And I agree with the chrome. They do look a little cheesey in chrome! They are probably comin off though. Trading them for a front mount turbo setup from a buddy of mine.

Got them from a local guy I know that owns a tire shop. Can't give you the name here, but if you PM me I can give you his #. He will give you a hell of a deal on wheels/tires. Just say TxSquezze4.8 told you to give him a call!

Can you tell us what the offsets are?
What color grey is it? More of a dark color or a more like a stock SS silver painted wheel?

Can you get some more pics of the rears from the back to see how far they stick out?

Don't know the offset. I was there when my buddy ordered them from his supplier, and he just said they were for an fbody offset. They don't stick out at all. When I put them on they were perfectly flush with the fender and it was rubbing. Rolled them, and that was that. But they don't stick out not even 1mm! They are the perfect offset. Would be nice if I could tell what that perfect offset is! I'll try to call him next week and ask him. Oh yeh, they are more of a dark color of grey. A little bit lighter than TTm's.

I think you could get away with a 315 pretty easy. These 295's are flush with the wheel, so a 315 would bulge just a little bit, but not enough to worry about.
