Yebbey Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I want to get some but i"m having a hard time deciding. I also don't think i've seen enough. Im looking at Rota Tarmac II, Enkei j10, sportmax 920, exel tz10, and the sti wheels so far. Does anyone know of any that look like the Spec B rims?

AWDDAD Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I think the 06 WRX wheels and the ASA rims(dont know the model name) are probably your best bet to looking like the Spec B. heres a link to the ASA rims(at the bottom) http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1499&page=12 ...when death calls, Im good.

Yebbey Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 thanks for the replies, i think I still prefer the way the exel, sportmax, and rota ones look. It's pretty funny, I've looked at a few sites, there's always something I find that's not to my liking..I'm pretty picky. Of course I could just get the spec B rims, but I"m looking to spend less then 200 per wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Check out the Rota G-Force, or if you like even more spokes, the Rota Vortex. Btw, I love 10 spoke wheels as well, good luck with your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4boxparts Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Take a look at the advan RS wheel. It is a beautiful 10 spoke wheel. Not too expensive either. http://www.yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan/wheel/brand/advan_rs/image/wheel_01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yebbey Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 I really like the Advans, but 400 bucks a wheel is double the most I'm willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4boxparts Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 These rims are beautiful, but what is your definition of "not too expensive"? Ya, I guess my definition is different. I personally think anything under $500 per wheel for a high quality wheel is not expensive. I've noticed others want something more in line of $600 for a set. As far as wheels go, I notice that you get what you pay for. IMO Weren't you on the cl/tl board too? I think I remember you as sc-tl. I was blxmjx on that board.

hal9e3 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If 17s will do take a look at the BBS RKs. 17x7, 48mm offset, shiny (not polished) silver finish. Here's a pic: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3485&d=1102879620 And here's a link to a dealer selling them on eBay for stupid cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8036440646 And, if he's sold out, here's another pretty good deal on them: http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=55&products_id=385 Another possibility would be Saaburu 9-2X takeoffs. 17x7, 55mm offset, shinier than the RKs, made by Enkei so probably heavier. Check http://www.saabcentral.com for pics and sellers, or check around at your local Saab dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
