GTride05 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have been trying to avoid these as I really wanted them with my 00" Legacy GT but now I have they 05' wagon and I was looking at everything but these and now that I look back once again they dont seem like bad rims to me. I would want the Gold 18's tho. What do you think about the chrome trim on the golds?? I mean if there is any other rims any of you are willing to show me I am down to see cuz I Do think 5 spokes look really sick on the Legacy I just dont have much experience on what would be the best looking and fitment on my ride. Let me know thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 i have the dr-19s in black w/ chrome lip in 18" for the summer seasons. they look great but they are kinda heavy. i feel it in my shifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTride05 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks, I figured they were probably heavy. I really want the BBS LM's but for the price I will pick the Drags over the BBS for the moment cuz I would be able to afford those alot sooner, but thats yeah im not rushing cuz Its possible a may just try to find the BBS's and buy them out like 2 at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooberoo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I like the look of a mesh wheel on our cars and not all of us can afford BBS LMs! Yeah they may be heavy but for $hit$ and giggles they should be just fine! If and/or when you can afford those BBS wheels you can demote the drags to snow wheel status!

GTride05 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks you guys. I am probably gnna go with them. What do people think about the Golds with the chrome trim tho? I've noticed most the gold rims have been solid gold with out the chrome trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 what color is your car? i like gold wheels on blue, black, and white cars. any other color car i would say silver or black wheels. but there are exceptions to the rule as well. i personally think a chrome lip on gold wheels is a bit too much for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTride05 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 This is my car. not a good pic but the 1st one i've got a chance to take since I got the car.

GULLABLE0NE Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i think you could get away with gold but id like to see some gunmetal or silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTride05 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Gold is what I want but im totally going to look at the silver and gun metal before I make it final. I have a relative that works at discount tire so I can get them for dirt cheap. I didnt realize this before lol. too bad they dont sale BBS's. Thanks alot and all those pics look great. Are they lowered or is that how the wheels look when you throw them on with stock suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 mine's stock. something else I noticed is how much I like the lip on the tires on mine compared to the other pics. rounds out the wheel better i think. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That last message was to c-lo. Sorry I am posting so many replies lol. I'm running 17's and I bent one rim. it's not too bad, hopefully i can get it fixed. if not I'll have to replace it. it's bad enough that I can't rotate it to the front. if I do I get steering wheel wobble above 60mph. Overlays are vinyl overlays that you can put over your center caps, and over your emblems. search overlays and you'll see some. grafwerks is a popular site to order from. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
