sulk Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Anyone running 16x8 wheels and have any pictures? I know 16s are small, but being light would help a lot. I'm thinking about getting Enkei ES-Tarmacs in 16x8, but I'm interested to see if anyone has any pictures on 16x8. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestratomaster Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I tried looking for pics of the same thing and couldn't find anything haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Might be hard to find considering there arent many 2.5i owners, let alone 2005 only. 2006+ used bigger front brakes that require 17s to clear if I'm not mistaken. Some fat 16's would like kinda cool. Some thick sidewalls for a Nascar look lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulk Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I didn't really find anything either, and the wheels I was thinking of getting were discontinued. I'll probably end up with 17x8s or 18x8s and just forget light wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 there's a few 17x8 wheels that are decently light, but you're going to paying a huge premium....and on a 2.5i, i'm not sure if it's really worthwhile to drop that much coin on wheels. speedline comes to mind....otherwise if you can score a set of the 5x100 BBS wheels off an STi it might be the best compromise. but they are becoming more and more rare and esp difficult to find in canada.

sulk Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Why is this in Powertrain? This is in the 2.5i section because I was looking for feedback from other 2.5i users. Also most 16s will not clear LGT brakes, so it'd mainly be the 2.5is who would have possibly be running them. @cybonic, all those rims are $$$$ lol. I know I can get almost anything with the right amount of cash, but I'd rather not drop a lot esp if it's going to be limited to my 2.5i, and not be usable down the line if I upgrade the brakes.

sulk Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yep, I know about rpf1s, dont really like them that much. Either way, seems like no ones run 16x8 before. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
