What Wheels For You (Upgrade) ?

Recommended Posts

I will most likely stay with 17's but I really like clean European styled "5" blades (the "StilAuto" "5" from Italy), so I will most likely go with a 17 X 7 1/2 wheel upgrade for my Legacy GT. Check out StilAuto's site and tell me what you think... [url]www.stilautoruote.com/showroom.htm[/url] :shock:

Personally, I wouldn't choose to put heavy wheels like the Five on the car. For a 5 spoke, I prefer the stock wheels. A main difference that I see is that the spoke goes all the way to the lip which will make it look a bit bigger than the wheel really is. To me, the looks and size aren't different enough from stock for me to justify spending money. I would at least want a wheel that is light and forged. Don't listen to me though. I tend to like wheels that I'll never spend the money on. 18" x 7.5" Prodrive GC-010E at $625 each. :shock: [img]http://www.prodrive-usa.com/productImages/123.jpg[/img]

Preston I so agree on the GC-010, that is an excellent looking wheel, though I think the gold is the best looking color of that design, just personal preference though. A medium Bronze or lighter Gunmetal is alright too.

Ew, that's just not right. I like to see a har bit of the top of the tire below the fender well. Guess I try to stay speedbump/hump friendly to the bottom of my car. :) That's just my opinion though. Call me old. :P

The wheels aren't as bad as the total negative fender gap. But to each their own. I like a little bit more beef on the wheel though as potholes are prevelant and I've known people to bend even the stock 16's on RS's. A sleeper OE wheel or something like a Prodrive really are nice in my book. Once again, its all personal opinion. If everyone liked the same thing, it would be a boring world.

In addition to the Prodrive I already said, here are some I like. I think the price of stock wheels looks good to me especially now. Volk CE28N 18x7.5 +50mm $480ea [img]http://vividracing.securesites.net/catalog/images/volk2a.jpg[/img] BBS LM 18x8 50mm $650 each :shock: [img]http://vividracing.securesites.net/catalog/images/bbs2a.jpg[/img] Advan TC2 18x7.5 +48mm $590 [img]http://vividracing.securesites.net/catalog/images/advantc2a.jpg[/img] Gram Lights 57 Pro 18x7.5 +48mm $430ea.

How about the BBS RGR in Bright Satin Silver Paint... [img]http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/bbs/swap/bbs_rgr_db_ci3_l.jpg[/img] They were: $465 for 17x7.5" $559 for 18x7.5" Definitely a nice wheel if you can afford them, the Rays STi 5-spokes available in 16-18": [img]http://www.japanparts.com/New_web/SUBARU/ImprezaGG_GD/1011_003STi/0300401.JPG[/img]

NO WAY DUDE.. see above.. those rims that I picked out kick arse. Maybe you need a course in Rim-ology or Wheel-ography. :lol: Actually those BBS do look nice but there is just something that's too silver about them. Like a kid with braces or something.
