Wheel recommendations please?

[Brian Lowell]

Hey Guys,

Looking for some wheels but don't know what route I want to take... Would like some opinions! However, I do not want to have to roll any fenders if I can help it, and I don't plan on lowering my car.

Throw some ideas my way!

 

[jojo69]

you mean rims and or tires? or just rims?

If rims, what kind do you like? concave? flat? 8+ spokes or less?

17' or 18'?

Have you looked at the members gallery on Nasioc for wheel options? There are several threads that show rims and how they look on sedans/hatch.

That should at least give you an idea of what you like that may hep narrow your options.

I've been thinking of that lately and I think i'll stay with 17' for now. I like 5+ spokes like the tarmac's or sparco's. There are some wiht concave/lips but I'm not sure yet if I dig it since everyone has them!

Actually I was looking so far at the Gold rotas, or black Miro 111 18x9.5 + 40... Just looking for opinions on others.

Regarding your wheel choice, Grid's look great, but a lot people have them. If you want to go with Rota's, I like the PWRs.

17's with no springs. If you get 18's with stock springs it wont look as good as your ride height will increase...but that car really needs 18's to fill out the wheel arches

Go gold or go home

Here is what I like.

 

[drvsdwz]

are the top ones just the stockers painted white?

 

[Gretsch308]

Negative. White Prodrive GT-1's! Like my black wheels.

 

[apkarian100]

Go for PWR's or T2R's if you're going to go Rota.

I also favor Enkei NT03s.

[SoMeWRX]

enkei nt03s are definitely broner wheels, probably a lot less expensive than volks too haha

 

[Brian Lowell]

Great, thanks all for the recommendations. I am going to go through all of it and see what may be the best choice.

I Am in the same boat, but I have a 2012 swp hatch. MB had a great wheel that they've since discontinued, does anyone know off the top of their head if there's anything like this still available in 5x100 fitment? http://wheelsbymbmotoring.com/product.php?wheel=Gear

I want a nice set of wheels, but I'm embarassed by my little brake calipers. I feel like if I was gonna get nice wheels there would need to be Brembos showing from behind them!

 

[Brian Lowell]

Save up about 4-6k and you will be set!
