Drift Monkey Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Skinny skinny! Wheels look nice, but I can't say I approve of the tires however... STILL too much wheel gap buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 well...i'm still a noob and just gotta try to shy away from possible rubbing issues (but it looks like I might rub still )...after all the hours of research...man... jedimaster--thanks...i've always wanted a set of multi-piece and forged (it might not be a high end one..but i'm satisified ) illt3ck-- I had Crimson K6 (silver)...I like these more ....plus the Falken 451's were pretty loud NALegacy--I've wanted these since I bought the LGT about 3 months ago...but got some Crimson K6 (I've always wanted for my WRX, sold the WRX to get the LGT) at killer price...sold those cuz I was eye-in these....got it for a killer price too ...Amen to eBay! Xenonk--thanks again for all the stickies and your prompt replies...wish I could be around your area to see you mod your cars DM--I had to downgrade to a 7...but I didn't like the Crimson's that much.......(but I got these 225's so maybe I can put them on a set of 18x8's one day )....maybe get a set of coilovers when the factory ones go bad and the price goes down melayout--I'm liking that gap (or lack of ) more and more thanks ya'll...i'm gonna go wash the bad boy now and i'll take more pics later.

drewster Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 very clean looking wheels, i like them a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTourer Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 That looks very good! Those wheels compliment the car nicely. I give them an 8.5/10, the extra 0.5 is for bountiful application of tire shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohmer1 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Better than the Crimsons! But I would have opted for a darker color for that Silver Leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Better than the Crimsons! But I would have opted for a darker color for that Silver Leg... Ya...something about the Crimson's looking really good on the WRX, but it just didn't flow with the LGT....I thought about getting the gunmetal...but wanted a more subtle look In Taiwan now...

Legasee Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 thanks guys/gals!... honestly...I really like these ...this set is the Roja Formula 7...been around for ages (at least 4-5 years I'd say)...I really like the polished/chrome lip (and did I say it's a 2-piece wheel ??...)...I'm gonna go shine it up some more now many places still sell them for 300-400 each (it is a discontinued model), but if you are interested, keep an eye on ebay (there's a guy selling a bunch of 17x7.0 in +42, one-piece, without reserve, people buying them for $200-300 a set plus shipping!!, a great deal for forged ) brio 11---no plans to upgrade brakes now...but might do a little ss brake lines, change the brake fluid and pads.... anyone in Los Angeles/Inland Empire area wanna do an "install day?"

melayout Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Dude, don't forget to wax the wheels for protection especially from brake dust. Also it may be necessary to wax if the wheels don't have a layer of clearcoat like the stockers. Else have em clearcoat-ed. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 question: weight of the wheel and tire please? Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 question: weight of the wheel and tire please? Keefe -don't know the weight of the tires -but the rims were about 19-20 lbs (taking #'s from other seller's specs... ) **Keefe..these are the "half-ass" forged rims that you were referring to about a few months earlier, remember? ....rotary forging or something?? .... edit----------Keefe, THANKS for the "good-to-go" with these offset/rims!!! http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10500 I don't know...I like them. The seller did not get a chance to install it on a VW so decided to put it on eBay...and well....it's on the LGT now ! In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Look really nice. Does compliment the car well. Are these hub-centric specifically for the Legacy or did you have to buy rings to fit them up properly?
