SuperhawkLGT Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I need to see more of those. Think I would do this color on red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 When I was chosing the color, I thought about it for a real long time. I was going back and forth between the two, hyper silver and bronze. But after 3 sets of dark rims (two anthracite, one bronze) I decided I wanted a change, and went with the hyper silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 very slick wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybuckeye Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I need to see more of those. Think I would do this color on red though. I disagree. I think the hyper silvers look much cleaner. Then again, I've never liked bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 whaddaya guys think about these for my '08 QSM? I've been shot down on 5 pairs of wheels so far, from Volk GT-v (too pricey), Rev Model2 (discontinued), Arospeed Express (no polished lip), Enkei RSV (bad fit), Arospeed Project 5 (out of stock), so now I'm looking at these, but I gotta act soon if I'm going to, cuz the New England winter is coming! BTW: real 2-piece construction, no fake bolts here. http://www.buywheelstoday.com/images_products/L_4315.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperhawkLGT Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Not bad what kind how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 They're from Sport Max, #502 is the name of the wheel, and they're about $180-200/each depending where you look for an 18x7.5 and a 42 offset. I can get them mounted on some 225/40/18 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S tires for about $1500 installed on my GT including new TPMS sensors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I think they kinda look like the Volk GT-V which is what drew me to them. So you likey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperhawkLGT Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Ya not bad, I'm not a fan of rivets but at least they are real. Love the lip though, but I'm sure the Legacy one is not that deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtoVT Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 They're from Sport Max, #502 is the name of the wheel, and they're about $180-200/each depending where you look for an 18x7.5 and a 42 offset... is a 42 offset big enough for an 18" on an LGT? I looked at another style of the same brand, but thought an LGT needed at least a 45 offset. those look good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Width is more important that diameter when picking an offset. That said, a +42 on a 7.5" rim is doable, but yeah +45 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigInALegacy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 so what's the trade-off then? why is a 45 better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 the lower the offset, the further out the wheel sticks ....... like a 7.5 +20 would be way past the fender and a 7.5 +65 would hit the suspension. I could swear there was good fitment with the enkei rsv .......... edit: there is .......... 18x7.5 +45 5x100 $162 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Mainly fender clearance. With the 42 offset, the wheel tire will be pushed closer to the fender. You possibly won't be able to run as wide a tire. Some might also argue about extra stress on wheel bearings, but I dunno about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 OK, that makes sense. I'll be running Pirelli PZero Nero M&S 225/40/18 on them. I dunno how wide those are in comparison to a benchmark. I could swear there was good fitment with the enkei rsv .......... edit: there is .......... 18x7.5 +45 5x100 $162 Sorry, the RSV's I decided against because of the color. I decided I REALLY liked the idea of hyperblack on the '08 QSM color, so that's why I nixed those ones. They were Anthracite, which I think would be more gunmetal, maybe even darker. I like that blackish chrome high gloss with a nice polished lip. And I really liked those too. I first flocked to those Volk GT-V's through 40+ pages when I know nothing about who they were and those were the ones I picked, but I found out they were $700/ea so I canceled those right there. The last pair I found and ordered (backordered) looked very close to those GTV for $170/ea, but when they told me they couldn't get those for a while I found that 2 piece wheel that looks pretty similar, but with the 2 sides of the split spokes being a little closer, and having a little less curve than the ones that I ordered. But, the other ones were a faux 2-piece, these are real. I dunno, it's pretty close to winter here, I may just hold up til next year. Gotta decide this weekend though.

scottybuckeye Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well, if you can do w/o the polished lip and like hyperblack, check out these. I'm ordering 5 today: http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o19/oftoast/IMG_1974.jpg http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_info.php/cPath/220_21_158/products_id/557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
