Prod Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have a silver wagon. I'm looking at a seconed set of wheels so I can run appropriate tires for the season. I want wheels that will perform well and look good at the same time, and high enough quality to not get mashed up on a few pot holes. By look good, I mean I'd like some rims that go well with the car and don't make it look tacky, but I'd also like something that stands out enough to easily be recognized as not stock. I autocross whenever fairly frequently, so I was thinking that 18" rims would be in my favor. Also, I'd prefer something under $250. So anways, I've been looking around, and here are some I like: Legasee's Crimson K6's (look good, I'd like more info on these): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/SWRX/Img036.jpg Montegi Track Touge (love the look, but they weigh 24.6 lbs!) http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?target=wheelSearchCloseUp&wheelIndex=47&sizeIndex=0&filterFinish=&filterSpecial=&sizeIndex=0&sizeIndex=0&colorInd=4&filterSize=&setIndex=10&showRear=no Kazera KZ-A (Great price, 20.7 lbs, also offered in silver) http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?target=wheelSearchCloseUp&wheelIndex=24&sizeIndex=1&showRear=no&setIndex=2&filterSize=&filterFinish=&filterSpecial=&colorInd=4 Opinions?

Prod Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 http://subydude.com/osc/product_info.php?cPath=21_158&products_id=426 I'm curious about the red and black and the cosmic blue. The red and black is probably way too much, but if anyone has any chopping skills... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/Prod238/LGT11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks, how much did you get them for? Don't quote me, but I think I paid something like $600 plus shipping from an ebay vendor in Hawaii. He was selling them cheap and all new, but I just checked and he's not there anymore. But check with NASIOC and clubwrx, they pop up once in a while. Also look under Crimson in the wheels or Legacy pics section...I "was" a real post whore then In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to afford some RGRs It's my mom's house in southern MD. I go to school at Penn State. My tuition is paid for by a Navy scholarship, but that doesn't mean I have gobs of money lying around. I can let you have these for $300.00. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30916 or, I got Spec.B wheels/Tire for sale by Friday, just 500 miles on them.

panamajack Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I like them. Your skills make me sad though. You do the reflection in the water. Tint would be a must if you got those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prod Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 More bad MSpaint. I found phamilton's car in one of the other wheel threads and used it since he has a tint. I'm fairly sure that tint isn't legal in MD though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/Prod238/P45F-tint.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
