caramall2 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just getting opinions. I like this aftermarket rim in general, but they're cheaper and they have "extra holes" for alternate wheel stud configurations so they look a little "cheaper" to me in my opinion. The aftermarket is 1/2" wider which I like. Opinions compared to stock just on looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGACY GX98 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 i would say go JDM or keep stock rims on. find some Volk, rays, grimlights or work wheels .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elightbo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I just picked up some '07 WRX wheels for mine. If I remember I'll post some pictures once it warms up here in Wisconsin and I can install them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 So what if you had to chose from the two I show? That's what's in my shed ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 1/2" width makes little difference unless you're running a wider tire like a 235 or 245 Weight makes little difference as well, unless they're pretty far apart. I'm guessing they're pretty close. Strength is probably similar too. So it probably comes down to personal preference. Whether you're trying to impress yourself or locals or us on the internet, determine that first and then ask accordingly (unless you already have in which case you're going to get a split decision on here).

spec.B452 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I prefer the ten spoke. I may be based though as that's what came on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm25rs Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 caramall - I like that aftermarket wheel design, but personally, the empty lug holes would drive me crazy, so I vote stock wheels. I just picked up some '07 WRX wheels for mine. If I remember I'll post some pictures once it warms up here in Wisconsin and I can install them. I just had Hawkeye WRX wheels installed on my LGT a few weeks ago, and I love them. They look a lot sportier than our stock wheels, while still looking stock to the layman.

finse Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I don't like dual drilled wheels. I ended up going with Team Dynamics 18x8" wheels. The best part is they are fairly light and manufactured the wheel to match my hub.. No hub centric rings for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Related, not all wheels with an extra set of holes are "dual drilled". Volk Racing CE28Ns have a second set of holes for reducing weight, they don't have a seat meant for lug nuts and are slightly different diameter as well... http://www.wheelstudio.com/content/products/9166/main.jpg My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

Ellesedil Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 nope If they're not, then what are they? They looks just like them and the picture isn't large enough to get a solid look at the details.

discojon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you get new wheels I want your stock ones. Mine are bent from p/o. I have the same PSM wagon. Stock all the way Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05RedGTWagon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 To me, it doesn't really make any sense to put on a lower quality wheel than the stock wheel..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec.B452 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 They are TRMotorsports MT1 18x8.5 +48 5x100. Supposedly made by Enkei and sold by Tire rack. They are no longer offered in this configuration which will suck if I end up bending or breaking one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meier motor sports Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 wheels look nice. i personaly dis like the multi patterned wheels. with some body filler one could fill the holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Most high end wheels will have hole two different patterns but only drill for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Most high end wheels will have hole two different patterns but only drill for one. That's not necessarily the case, I can name a lot of high end wheels that does not do that. As long as you have lightening pocket on the mounting pad, that will be sufficient to reduce weight. wheels look nice. i personaly dis like the multi patterned wheels. with some body filler one could fill the holes. Good luck with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
