You're doing this all for 16s?

+1 for getting a used set that fits as ganster as you want to go without requiring mods. Wider barrels are rarely worth the cost unless you're already into a set of top dollar wheels (a la CCW or something). If Jaime gave you a smoking deal you might as well rock them as is for the time being and sell then for a profit later. That gives you enough time time to lurk the boards until you find something perfect.

For wide fitments it's tough to beat Zilvia.net's classifieds...

OK thank Ander I wonder if they can do 1 piece wheels? I have a set of ASA AR1's Like Kyle had on his RX8 at Seven Stock silver with polished lips I had bought for my Subaru be for I spun a bearing and I got my Vert. That would look real nice to color match the center in the same Grey or at least graphite to the color of my car.

its not a bad idea, reason being i got this rims for $100 bucks.

spending another couple hundred dollers to get wider lips is actually cheaper to do then to buy bigger wheels.

i should go back to rockin' my vert wheels.

but definitely, it was a spontaneous idea after we got the wheels.

if it happens, it does. if not, then too bad.

maybe an ITR can rock the 16x8s in the front and 16x7 in the rear.

Here's a thought: Scions with staggered wheels: wider in the rear...

after 10 days, i got a reply from Work, asking them about the wheels and center caps.

I know Enkei used to make barrel like the cast-machined, but I really don't
think they do that anymore either.

Caps, yes, long been discontinued.

Thank you,

100$ with tires is cheap.. but there was nothing wrong with your vert rims. looks nice either way.

and your car has long been discontinued.
