harrumphicus Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Exactly like the title says. I'll be buying a new set of wheels here in a couple months, I could use some input from people who already have a slick setup. I'd like to keep it at 15 or 16 inches, something that looks pretty standard - nothing too show-off-ish. Any suggestions are welcome, links are encouraged. Here's a side shot of the car - will be lowered slightly next month when I get the Raceland coilovers put on. http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii480/kenworden/100_4412.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted June 9, 2012 I Donated Share Posted June 9, 2012 Those wheels are terrible! lol A nice set of Legacy GT snowflakes would look great on there -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

harrumphicus Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Agreed... I tried to be alright with them. Honestly, I'd rather have steel with caps than these starfish looking alloys! I don't mind the snowflakes, but I can't find any at a decent price - everyone saves them for winter wheels it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Brok, you miss that built BD like a lactose intolerant fat kid misses ice cream... Actually, my fave wheel on a legacy right now. Rotiform: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee134/Rubenjc111/0A3473D5.jpg It's sort of like the OEM snowflakes but just has a more aggressive look! These fella's can coat them in any color or texture you can think of...just check out the options: http://rotiform.com/services_powdercoating.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stang70Fastback Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you want some subtle, but nice wheels, you can't go wrong with these: Sport Edition A7 ($79/wheel!) http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/305366_2300910645519_85884317_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/547957_3014407122485_1487981507_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrumphicus Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Holy crap.. Just found the wheels I've been grooving on brand new for $413 shipped. AND I can use my current tires. http://www.gomiata.com/spedbrsawlip.html - Sport Edition CE "Bright Satin" I'll definitely have to let my funds replenish a bit if I want to get those, though.. damn suspension costing me almost $1000.. oh well, function over form. I'd still prefer to save a bit and buy used, but the pickings are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Eff it.. just got some on eBay from a seller in Illinois.

harrumphicus Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Soon... New issues arise, though. According to one of those nifty tire dimensions calculators, my speedo's gonna be off by about 10%... How in the world do you fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You don't. Is it the larger the diameter of the wheel the slower it registers on the speedo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
