wrx2blackGT Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 My g/f just hit something on the highway with my car and wrecked 2 tires and wheels. Since this is the last thing I care to spend $$ on right now im looking for a cheap option.... http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=wheelCloseUp&wheelMake=Sport+Edition&wheelModel=E1&wheelFinish=Bright+Silver+Paint&autoModClar= I can get the wheels shipped and mounted with kumho's for $599!! ...and id have a set of 18's with new tires, and could sell my 2 remaining stockers. Hell, replacing my 2 oems and re92's are gonna cost me more than that. I know they are heavy (dont really care), but do you think they are gonna turn into squares on the first bump i hit? I have seen alot of people run these as winter wheels without problems.
wrx2blackGT Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 kinda look lke pre-07 wheels just in 18's i think they might look kind of good
YCAGEL TG Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Def. not the worst wheel that has been posted on here. Go for it, again, can't beat the price
subienubie Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 wow, 18's for that price is extremely cheap...go for it and take pics!
whitetiger Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 ive seen them in person. they are ok. I dont think they flow with the car though.
mccorry Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Kinda plain and not that far away from the stock 5-spokes, IMHO, but if you're looking to just get some cheap replacements... go for it!
EL PAALO Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I think they look good ....... wouldn't buy em' myself, but that seems like a great option for you.
VTGT Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 If you need wheels and tires thats a great price. Then you could sell your two good oem wheels and tires for some fast cash.
Jerboa113 Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 blech. sorry dont like em. I'd stick with oem if that was the only other option. "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato
wrx2blackGT Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 yeah id def sell my 2 stockers so these would end up costing me less ill probably order them today from a cost standpoint i just cant beat it. Its not the hottest wheel out there but i dont really care
dmiller5 Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 those are my winter rims http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/dmiller5/1.jpg
wrx2blackGT Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 ordered at $59 a wheel and $71 per tire the 2 wheels on my mountain bike cost more then this full set mounted balanced and shipped lol ill take pics when i get em
wrx2blackGT Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 hey sweet thanks for the pic! your car looks good!
pathfin9 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Here's what they look like on DGM, i used them as my winter set as well.
Blue GT Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 ^ I actually really like them in that shot, would love to see how they look on a lowered car without the meaty winter tires.
Gire Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Those look great! I loved them on DMiller's car whenI first saw pics. I like the darn-near OEM look to them too... not too flashy. All you need is a STi sticker for the centre cap in silver, and you are all set! www.grafxworks.com
smokedoutv6 Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 i bought these to replace my bent stockers. cant beat the price even though they are a little heavy http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6127/img0809ij7.th.jpg
