Mach V Dan Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 It's a strong-looking car (big flares, tall ride height) and I think it needs strong-looking wheels. Thicker spokes match it better. I'd go with the #2 choice, but I'd prefer a less busy/shiny spoke design. But hey, that's just one guy's opinion. --DanMach VFastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I pretty much despise all of those choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 you should look for some 18x8.5 wheels with some 255/35/18 tires. Silver is better color than black IMO if you are looking at those two color choices. I believe Myles at http://www.racecompengineering.com is thinking of selling his SSR GT2 Gold Wheels at 18x8.5 +48mm offset. Those would be very hot on your car, very clean looking rim and easy to clean. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach V Dan Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 you should look for some 18x8.5 wheels with some 255/35/18 tires. The car comes with 225/55R17, right? Then you'd want 255/40R18 tires. Not 35-profile. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 i still like the spec b 3.0r rims for their "grounded look". when the rims have to much air space between the spokes the car starts to look "top heavy". i feel the 3.0r may look too "dainty" and less "beastly" also when using #1 or #3. as far as the tire width i think it would be nicer to have a wider tire but then again my car is not a gt. i already installed the rear swaybar which took 80% of the lean out and i figure if i go to pilot a/s sports in an 18" size it will improve further. i kinda like the black because its different and makes a more "aggressive, no nonsense" overall statement than the silvers. black makes it almost feel like a plain jane cop car and i also don't think the icw rims are the right ones yet and the gloss black may make it totally different. i was thinking of painting them a matte black. maybe i should try painting the subie rims black?

sduford Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I personally love the look of the ASA JH3, almost but them for my OBXT. But they are real porkers at 24 lbs. So I went with Rota Torques instead. Sylvain www.digitalfotographer.com - Audi Q5 Club - MB-GLK Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUD Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 How about some Weld racing wheels & Super Swampers? Seriousness...I voted for ASA. They looked the best out of the choices you gave. It is the disposition of men to desire that which he cannot have, hence my un-quenchable wet desire for Shakira! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 How about some Weld racing wheels & Super Swampers? a little too aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red beast Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 although it may seem like a good idea there is a little too much interference between the wheels and the fender. i must say though it's an intriguing idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 #3 would be hot if you lowered the car to have an aggressive stance that matched the wheels... as it is though, I choose #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Personally, I ticked the bottom box.... now before u get all fired up.... Put the money towards GOLD rims, bit like DM, it will make the car look toned. Then when u get the cash... ahh dump it. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
