Sublimejoe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just pulled the trigger and purchased a set of Rotiform Monoblock BLQ's. 18x8.5" http://www.rotiform.com/images/product_photography/cast_1piece_blq_01b.jpg Pretty damn stoked. I've never owned a brand new set of wheels before. These should look amazing on my car. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6184/6028773845_08bd3e7e74_b.jpg Anyone looking for an insane deal on a ton of different types of wheels should check out Watercooled IND they were super easy to deal with and the best price I could find!! http://www.watercooledind.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 They should be in before the end of the month. Pretty stoked! Trying to track down a deal on some tires right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 You won't be the first, but your certainly one of the few. Should look pretty good on there. Although I think I would have gone with the lower offset on the Outback. Due to your flairs. Abbits ride. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/00vr6gti/286483_244550545568165_100000396634112_759503_592048_o.jpg Slammed more than your girlfriend.

LosAngelesLGT Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I was lukewarm on the wheel till I scrolled down and saw your car. I think they are going to look great together! Cant wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has white blq's on his Outback sport, or he did at least. I searched high and low to find a 3rd gen Outback with them but I didn't find anything. Not that it matters if I am the first, last or only one. The are only available in +45 or +35. The flares on my car are a little tricky because they are basically flush on the fender, so I wouldn't be able to roll my fender if need be. Since I couldn't find anyone with a set that I could test fit I just went with +45 and if they need to go out just a touch more I can get some small spacers.

LosAngelesLGT Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Now that I think about it, clearing those headlights to match those new brilliant wheels and leaving the stock grill alone would be a great choice. I am really digging on the silver/black motif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Do they come in any other color? They come in Machined, Black or Gunmetal. For $80 per wheel you can have them powdercoated any color by Rotiform. I couldn't think of a good color so I went with machined. Now that I think about it, clearing those headlights to match those new brilliant wheels and leaving the stock grill alone would be a great choice. I am really digging on the silver/black motif. Good call! I don't plan on painting the grill before the rims get here so I will check it out and see how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I know right, its all I can think about. Hopefully they will be here by the end of this week. Tires will be here tomorrow though!

Sublimejoe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 What are the best lug nuts to use for these rims in everyone's opinion? I can't decide between black or silver, much less a brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just get some discount tire silver locking lug nuts. Doesn't matter if you have $150 lugs or $25 lugs. In the end, if someone really wanted your wheels, they'll find a way to steal them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'd definitely go with a silver, closed lug nut. Brand doesn't really matter. When you mount them, make sure to measure hub-to-fender for me!

Sublimejoe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 For sure! I am so excited for them to come, I am sure I will get them on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I generally like black lugs on silver wheels on a black car but I think these wheels should keep their overall silver format. The black and silver theme of your car that is coming together may be too busy with little things like black on silver lugs but you will never regret the silver ones. I suggest mutegi and have had no issues with them at all. http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-586/Muteki-12x1.25-Closed-Ended/Detail Enkei (shinier and cheaper if thats what you want) http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-586/Muteki-12x1.25-Closed-Ended/Detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Nice, you think closed end is the way to go? Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yes, with those wheels for sure!

Sublimejoe Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Updates. Well I hadn't gotten any word of shipping or any ETA whatsoever from the company I ordered them from so I eventually (after a very hard time) was able to get in touch with Rotiform. My wheels weren't in the container that they received today so it could be 90-120 days before they receive my set. Jason was really helpful and found a set of +35 18x8.5's in the warehouse and is machining them down to +39 for me, then sending them direct to me. Now I can a bit torn whether to just have the +35's sent over as is or to have them machined to +39. It was a toss up whether to get +35 or +45 in the first place so I dont know if I should just take that as a sign and get +35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The +39 would look great! I'd jump on them! Who did you order through orginally? Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
