Shopping for wheels....

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 9:03 pm

Looking for suggestions - I have 17" old-school Work wheels, which I love, but it's time to take the next step.

So, I'm in the market for some 18 x 9 and 18 x 11 (give or take .5" F and 1" R) with some fairly radical offsets (no -47's, lol)...

I don't mind adjusting with some spacers, but I want to get as close to perfect as I can.

Will also consider a 17/18" stagger, or some SICK 17's with monster lip.

Going on slammed S13 with coilovers and 2" bolt-on flares F&R.

Styling - I'm open to suggestions, but I like an open wheel, mesh or 5 spokes.

Already browsed RBmotoring, pricing is always a LOL with them.

Todd, the fact that I've seen your car tells me you've found the wrong thread.

Please, the men are talking cars.

Those are sick. I missed the announcement that you got big-boy wheels.

My parents got back from HI and said their rental Corolla was lost in a sea of other Corollas there... They had their choice of an Aveo or a Corolla, lol.

i like mesh type wheels. with a nice big lip.

work equipes are ballin but a little played out unless you get the stupid sized 18x10 18x11 (-10/-20) at least.. but that requires alot of body mods.

a pic of your car would help to visuallize the wheel on.

i really like work vs-xx but tehy have become tooo common. advan senia ver.2 are pimp but hard to find.

advan super racing ver 3. are pretty sick as well.

i guess its your prefrence.

im going with advan rg2 18x9 18x9.5 (+15/+12) in gold. i wana be different everone and their mom are throwing phat polished lip on scions and such these day i need to stand apart.

well good luck.

By the way, the girl in the bottom photo has what looks to be a scab on her left knee. You wouldn't know how that got there, would you?

Post by **Rex** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:55 am

I'd suggest either VS-SS

orVS-XX (not in gold faced)

Post by **turbo2nr** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:18 am

yea they are played out.. more rims mentioned on this forum are... i still think it would look good on the car the work emotion kai... but thats my opinion

i would like to see some advan tc-2 those would look good or gram light 57 maximums face 3 in gun blue those would look great as well

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:19 am

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:28 am

Yep - That's the ones. No sense in searching further.

ame is liek sportmaxknockoffsid rather have the Kranze version

JP has some NEW BADASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS wheels outi gotta find em....but i cant

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 8:01 pm

JP Scara's would be one of my top choices, along with some custom-made HRE's. Pure hotness.

Unfortunately, we have to remember that these are cheapass cars we're putting them on. While I have the capacity to spend a foolish amount on wheels, I choose not to, because... well, because it's retarded.

I can do new AME's for around $2K in whatever size / offset I want, and I don't particularly care what the little Japanese people think of them...

But I REALLY like those Works.

So, yeah - Let's find some wheels!
