oh yeah... one more thing, with all that amazing work you've done to your car, you can't go with some cheap wheels. I really like the wheels that hyper posted without a doubt, but you need to set your eyes on some really nice decent wheels to set off your car. do it right the first time you know.

Oh trust me man I have avoided temptation to go cheap. Hard to resist at times when tight BUT I always think I would be going back a step from SSR's to Cheap Cast. SP-1 PRofessors might be my choice come TAX return time if I dont set my heart on something else.


****, I really like the equips posted on the Honda forum but the offset is too low. Right?? 5 front and 10 rear. ?????


mustang wheels

I looked at some of the available Mustang wheels from americanmuscle.com and I like those BUT no front 17x8 or even 8.5 I do not want to have fender flares. Shitty color choices too

I see that you have also grown tired of the old 16's (my same situation).

It is cool at first to have a rare wheel in a road friendly size, but after a while it is time to step up.

With threads like the joe crappa, rotarybeat1287 and risky devil updates recently (to name a few), a more agressive sizing and offset is just so much better looking.

You are on the right track with ideas so far, 18 inch work meisters always get me. I would stay away from that dull lipped mustang wheel on your (wrx?)blue colored car. Something dark, with a shiny lip will definately look good.

Your car is very tastefully modded, i am sure what ever you end up with will look great, as long a you dont settle due to frustration.............or jump on a good deal (with a questionable wheel).

^^ God I love shines demo car. Even on 19's it looks killer. All it needs are FTPs, Folding mirrors, and window visors. Maybe a roof wing and sexy style hood just to round it out.

Can't go wrong with almost any Work wheel man. Equips, meisters, or if you dig mesh I highly recommend VS-XX.

+1 On white xd9's!

RPF1 wheels would look good on the car. Plus there super light and cheap.


How about the 18 inch BBS LM's that are on RB wheels?

I agree about the RPF1's but I had no idea they were cast. Matter-a-fact almost all these wheels are cast except the SP1's and the work VSXX's.

That makes me wonder why people throw such a **** storm over knock off brands like Rota and Konig. I DO understand why people dislike them because of weight issues and putting GOOD JDM companies out of business BUT when you have certain companies charging double $$ for a CAST wheel it irritates me. Especially for example when someone buys...lets say weight is the issue and someone buys some D2's and gets flak even though the wheel weighs 19 lbs in the 17x7.5 instead of some SP1's that weigh in at 21.5 lbs in the 18x8 form. Money is a mother ****** and 1K on wheels does sound better then 3K to some with financial priorities. Just hate to read about critical people who judge lower price wheels that actually are pretty credible and practical.

However I am still gonna go NAME BRAND and am seriously stuck on either the RPF1's or some Work VSXX's. Plus you can not beat the strength of forged wheels if you can afford them (300x stronger then cast!!).

More input is appreciated. LOL this has become more of a "look at my weak photoshop skills on my FC" thread but anyway you guys are definately helping.
