Looking for black or gun metal wheels

I have an 05 Pearl White Legacy GT. I havent seen any with aftermarket wheels on them. Any pics or links of the white Legacy w/wheels. I am looking for some black or gun metal 18in wheels.

Thanks

Not a legacy, but the rims are 18" Black SSR SP1 wheels. Very hot. $411 a piece @ Tirerack.com.

What persona are you looking for? I also have white and i'm going for a more "classy" sort of look.

If you're looking for classy ... how about Konig Imagines. I have almost the same design on my 7. Hyperblack/Glossy black with silver lip. Might be too busy visually for some people. Personally I think an all black wheel makes it too dark so the silver adds that visual "brightener".

For a more sporty look ... I would probably pick some 5 or 6 fat spoked wheels. Something like the 6 spoke design. I'll have to find the website again but there's a company that basically makes the Volk 6-spoke copy. Maybe discounttiredirect? You have to search around but the wheel was priced at 159. I'm sure Volks are more per wheel.

Gunmetal will work in either case as well.

I know what rims I want but I want to see them on the car first. I want the car to look sporty but not ricey. Here are some I am looking at:

I like Enkei's. I had RSF-2's on my honda and I drove through downtown nonstop. Those wheels were indestructible. We don't have potholes, no sir. We have craters. Small children get lost in our "potholes".

But they don't offer their complete line.

* compare the us site with the japanese site. totally different.

* some wheels posted in other wheel sites aren't found on either or both enkei's site.

I was eyeing the PK6 model. Wait, can't find that model. Apparently only discounttiredirect shows them. And all 4 of their warehouses are out of stock. =(.

I'm looking for something with spokes but not too many. Minimum is 6. I'm not too keen on the standard 5 spoke design. Lip or faux lip. Something like Gialla's lineup. I think Konig's "Next" style is about as close as I can get it.

The images are fine. There's nothing I can't do with a little photoshop =). Gunmetal is pretty nice.

Btw, what is the offset? That's about as far out as I want to go. Also even with 18's it looks like you have plenty of tire-to-fender gap left.

Hopefully I can find a wheel that will give me some lippy or faux lippy goodness though.

Here's the wheels I put on my silver LGT

Would look hot on a white car too.

They're Enkei RPM2's

18x7.5

17.9 pounds each

MSRP about $250 each

You can get them for around $210 if you bicker.

I have the Volk GT-C's in gunmetal on my black.

Also, look at Axis....they have some hot wheels.

If I sold my Volks I would get these!!!!

Where do you get those from?

Any wheel shop should be able to get them for ya. They are the Hiro's. Nice ain't they and reasonably priced.

http://www.wheelsnext.com Franz... there's also the Reverbs (hollow spoke technology for superlightness)

The sporty look would be the Enkei RP03, the OZ wheel is more "tuner/rice". The SF Challenge doesnt come in a bolt pattern for the GT unless you decide to swap out your diffs, drive axles, hubs and the entire Brembo brake kit from an 2005 Impreza STi (5x114.3 vs GT's 5x100 bolt pattern). RP03 is the way to go. My preference would be an SSR wheel [Like the GT2, GT7, GT1, and SP1 Professors as you see above] (very clean and sporty look, and very minor in the rice-department). Check some of the Prodrive wheels while you are at it. If you got money to burn, look up WORK wheels ( http://www.worksuperwheels.com/wheels/wheels.html ) where the VS-XX, Equip, Termist TM1, and Work Meister S2R are very hot and sporty, not rice.

Work VS-SS on a 2004 Legacy GT.

The only thing I dont like about the Hiros is the "Axis" stamped on the spoke, the Reverbs are just stickers which you dont have to put on the spoke, making it look cleaner. I looked around and 18x8 Hiros are like $265/rim is the lowest I have found them...

Too bad these dont fit well on the GT:

(needs major fender rolling)

Seeing the Hiros on a 350Z and Rx-8...you don't even see the Axis stamped on... I'd double check the size....some sites list them as 18x8, http://www.axiswheels.com list them as 18x8.5, depending upon the offset, running 225/45/18 should help with clearance issues.

Hell...cheapest I found a tire and wheel package for the Hiro's was $1,475....I'd give up my Volks for that. lol

Thanks Keefe and Boxer. So how much do those Hiros weigh? I was surprised to see that they're not super expensive. Any idea as to their offsets?

I think the offset that would work best with the Hiro's is +45.
