So, i wanted to replace the 14 inch steelies. I was wondering what it take to make 17's or 18's fit on my 93 Del Sol Si

Obviously I'd purchase a 73.1mm bolt adapter but the vehical is on adjustable Tien Coilovers. Maybe i can get away with 17 x 7.5 +30.

Any advice for rims helps! I really liked the ones in the photo below.
 
What are your actual goals here?

Those wheels in 17x7.5 are 26lbs each, add to that whatever adapters you are looking at to convert from 4 to 5 lug (they do make those wheels in 4 lug, but it sounds like you are going for style over performance), add another 18+lbs for the tire...

At the end of the day you will be looking at adding around 200lbs of unsprung, rotational weight. Handling, ride quality, acceleration and breaking performance are all going to be effected by that, and not in a good way.
 
Get something in 4x100. Don't mess with re-drilling and adapters. There's just too many good wheels out there in proper sizes where you don't have to do any of that.

15x7, 205/50/15 is the 'best' size for performance, overall, on the street. Some go to 215, but you will rub.
 
I agree with above statements
you want 4x100 wheels and IMO like 16s are the perfect size for a del sol IMO
Look at some like RPF1s or Rota Slips or even rep wheels
 
Is there red ones that look exactly like the one I posted above!
Probably not , I would take a step back and think PERSONALLY anodized red wheels on a red car is a bit much IMO and those are cheap wheels they only make in 5x114. Those are like pep boys/cheapo wheels my man
 
My guy, just look for 4x100 wheels. Fitment Industries website is great for this. Just enter in your car and it will show you wheels that will bolt right on.

As the others said, I think 16" is gonna be your sweet spot. That will be a big difference versus the 14" steelies, but not so big to where it looks goofy. I have 18" wheels on my RSX and a lot of people consider that a bit controversial. 18" on a Del Sol would look like a clown car.
