1-3-2-4 Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yeah but I'm leaning more to number one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 All of them suck, go for a real brand, like Enkei, Prodrive, Rays/Volk, BBS etc. Maybe some BBS RS-GT's http://www.lowestpricewheels.com/images/products/bbs_rs_gt_db_ci3_l.jpg Maybe go for some subaru BBS wheels, optional on the 93-96 GT's, there's probably a couple of these sets on ebay. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/51/132002951_full.jpg OZ wheels. http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/92/135520192_full.jpg And you don't have to spend a fortune, i picked up a set of STi branded Volk TE-37's, with tyres, for under $250 USD....

Gire Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Those are going to look great. Good choice. You can never go wrong with a nice classic mesh design. Are they 16"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yes they are 16's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 nice. reminds me alot of the gt 16", but with a cleaner look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 yeah they are nice looking very shiny in the sun lol.. So how do those stick on weights do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 what do you mean by stick on weights? Obviously you need to get them balanced by a shop once you throw a set of tires on them; too many horror stories of people driving with unbalanced tires and vibrating the hell out of the car.

1-3-2-4 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 those were already on the rims when you got them? eeehh, no some people get those and some people's wheels can't do clipon weights.. some people do them because of no weight visible on the outside of the wheel.

kaz98gt Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 yeah that makes sense...so what's your point? Do you want them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 No im saying I want them and how do they hold up over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 You get those when you go to get your tires and rims balanced. They don't go anywhere, they throw a CA glue on them I think and it keeps them from going anywhere. You NEED to have a shop do this. When you go to throw on the tires, there will more times than not be an imbalance. Just mention to the guys that you want the weights that are on the inner part of the rim, not the kind that goes along the outer lip. They'll take care of it from there.
