amp583 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm liking concaved rim designs recently. By concave, i mean where the wheel design is not flat, it bowls in. Does anyone know of any 18" with 8" width rims similar to the ones attached that accomplish this? Edit: Looking for closer to 8" since i'm running 225/40 I like the XXR's (chromium black img) but the width is too wide for my tires; at 18" theres 8.75 or 8.75. Haven't seen these under 8.75. Enekin Rajins (Gen 5 silver) are nice however, not enough bowl in my opinion but definitely considerable. Rota SS10 (blak rims on tires)- dont have as nice of a bowl in. Near the spoke ends to the outer part of the wheel theres some weird curving outward then inwards. Anyone have any brilliant suggestions? Am I just SOL since the width im looking for is 8?

Drift Motion Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Am I just SOL since the width im looking for is 8? Yes and no. Simple answer is yes, no if you find wheels that was only offered with a 0 or lower offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micha3lchu Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The offset that the car needs is largely determined by the car manufacturer. Choosing a Subie was your problem, not finding the perfect wheel. In my understanding Subies and Hondas come with +50 and above offset which creates that flat face look. Running a lower offset (where the hub mounting is located midplane to the wheel) creates a problem because you push the entire wheel out where the fender is. This being said, it's EXTENSIVELY covered all over the internet, and they'll be able to explain it in great depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You should get the Raijins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp583 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 You should get the Raijins Highly considering - do you say this bc they'd fit the best with the offset etc or because of looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp583 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 You are right but im not looking for an explanation of how offset affects the ability to use certain rims. I'm just looking for suggestions on things that might appear concaved while fitting. The offset that the car needs is largely determined by the car manufacturer.
