Show off your 5th Gen's aftermarket wheels!!

Thanks Hanger!!! Yeah, now with the black wheels the chrome headlights stick out like a sore thumb. Time to bake 'em open and get rid of most of that gaudy chrome.

After you do that, it'll look 100 times better!!!

this car needs an exhaust asap.

Here she is with the new shoes.

 

18x9 +40 Konig Torch

BFGoodrich g-Force Sportcomp2 255/40-18

 

Need a little trim or roll in the rear and little pull and maybe some more camber in the front. Very minor rubbing, maybe 1/8" front and rear.

 

Overall 1.5" wider wheel and tire.....same weight as stock.

hmmm... the meaty tires make 18"s look actually viable on the 5th gens

That's what I was hoping and it does seem to. I was a little afraid the wheels would still look too small, especially being black, but I am very happy with the look. I think the design of the wheel, with the longish, somewhat concave spokes that extend all the way to the lip make the wheel look bigger than it is. Some 18s look small simply because they have a thick lip, shorter spoke and more of a salad plate hub area design.

 

The overall dimension of the 255/40 is only 2mm bigger than the diameter of the stock 225/45 so the tire really isn't much bigger around. Basically all I did was add width to fill out the overhang of the fenders left by the sunken in stock wheels.

I just bought Gteasers right side off his car, so it will look better. Not going for performance at all, just looks:)

18x8 +45 with 225/45, also plan on lowering it soon.

Will deffinately come together after some drop. Me personally have never enjoyed wheels with a lip unles SUPER wide. I can vision the car lower though and itll have an aggressive look for ya, good move

I'd prefer lip-less wheel

Congrats GTEASER, your car look great on new shoes. I also prefer lip-less.

Thanks Gborja!!!

 

And I can't wait to see pics of your car with the headlamps all finished and on the car.

Just need a BBK with some nice painted calipers to finish things off!

Okay, send me about $2500 and I will get working on it.

 

A BBK is in the future plans, but it will be a year or two.....or three.

ya...get a BBK and never track it.....

Well here are my former wheels now that they have been dismounted lol.

Somebody grab these!!!

I agree that these are stunning and well worth the cost that he is asking. Now if I still had my VW's then this would be purchased already lol. But sadly I do not feel that way about my Subaru. It's a great car, but it's not a car that I am in love with.

BBS belongs on Subies and VW. And it's black chrome, you can never go wrong with that

My enkeis are just a shade lighter.

 

Those do look good in that color.

Just got these today, and did some test fitting

specs???

Those look like the XXR 527s that I have for the summer (18x8.75 +35 offset)

 

 

Those seem to poke out a little more. My guess is they are the 9.75 width. The picture does not look concave enough to be +20 offset.

Now just need an install weekend, for all the parts that have been collecting in my garage over the winter

Dang am I the only one who's wheels are on permanent backorder lol ? Naw I am happy for those who have theirs by now and if I really needed wheels that badly I would just pop over to the dealership.
