ADirtyLegacy Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 the 7 spokes are pretty sweet lookin!! but as much as i hate to admit it, i'm a sucker for black and gold!!! Kenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepFreeze2 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 My 2 cents. Go with something other than a 5 spoke, since the stock rims already are. After that, it depens on the "flava" that you want (painted calipers or drilled/slotted rotors in the future, perhaps?). Gold on black is nice, though. YA RLY!!! Home of +2500 useless posts!!!!

illt3ck Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 gold on black is nice, but advan's typically require a small loan from your bank to purchase. 5 spoke is classic ... have you thought about a mesh type wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I like the six spokes on an LGT, but on an OB a thicker more substantial wheel looks better. Did you see the wheels Red Beast got?? They would look sweet on a black OBXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would look sweet on a black OBXT. yep, nice wheels but the design is a bit "stylish" for my taste, I'm referring to the extra ornamentation on each spoke. Also those are 18x7 and I need 18x8 or 18x8.5 to run 245/45 tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewster Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 yeah so this poll was just for laugh and giggles. I actually voted yesterday, with my credit card...... one of the wheels pictured here will be on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 the 5 spoke (ssr gt2) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/urabus/real_estate/xt-ssr.jpg Normally I think 5 spokes can look a tad bland. But actually, this is quite striking, and of all the posted wheels, speaks to me the best. It looks substantial, but less heavy than the stock widening-concave-spoke rims. None of them looked horrible, but thinner "more delicate" spokes start to betray the thicker lines of the body cladding and fender flares, and look more out of place.

red beast Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 design-wise odd numbers look better than even numbered spokes. even numbered spokes balance the opposite side and give off less of a "tension" feel. how about some of these? oh that's right, none left in Japan you'll have to wait till they get more. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-10/423426/newredbeastrims2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Legacy wagons and sedans are top heavy, especially with the extended body overhangs front and rear. I wanted a wheel that would "hold up" the visual mass of the body which to me meant wheels that had thicker spokes. I also like simple designs, no ornamentation and the wheels that Red Beast suggests visually scream "look at me" in sort of an art deco way. I just checked ups tracking and the wheels should be here tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 but that "scream at me" doesn't scream that much. i needed a to balance the "top" with the "bottom" also. if your eyes goes to the rims first the car won't feel as "top heavy". i think stock rims look better than any of the others above. the first four are too spindly and don't have enough mass or "eye pull".
