Pics on car wont be soon since winter over here:( Got the idea of white on white with the grid when I saw a white evo with white grid which looked too sick.

Very nice sir. That is a full time job waiting to happen keeping them clean.

What offset did you go with?

boosted_out 02-21-2012 03:12 PM

44 offset

ahfunaki 02-21-2012 03:48 PM

White on white...hmm. Sounds gangster, hah...

Wheels are sick though. I'd like to get a set in those specs only in hyper black.

Where did you buy them from and for how much?

maisonvi 02-21-2012 04:07 PM

got them off wheeldude.com and there 1000$ more or less depending on size you want plus tax and shipping and all that. And also if you want to go 18x9,5 there also going to be more expensive.

If I got them they would be the exact same specs as yours. they should fit very well...

Thanks for the info.

So what did the Fedex guy say when he saw you walk out with nothing but a shirt on?

Nice and clean wheel design... I like.

Stingray69 02-21-2012 06:54 PM

@boosted_out what tires do you plan to put on them? I want the same wheels in black or gunmetal but can't decide what tire size to go with for stock ride height.

davinspeed3 02-21-2012 06:57 PM

very nice!!! cant wait for pics on car.

I also threw a pair of shorts on as well haha, but he gave me two boxes and I asked him... Is there 2 more in the truck and he said no so I was worried I had only received two but when i opened a box a found 2 smaller boxes inside!

I'm trying to figure out what the biggest tire is that I can fit on genpu that is not lowered without rolling the fenders or rubbing.

I believe people were running 245/40/18s, but I think that was the limit without rolling or rubbing. Check the TSW Nurburgring thread or whatever in the Wheel/Tire subform. I personally went with 235/40/18 and likely won't go any wider in the future.

Thanks man. I have read so much on here about wheel/tire sizes it makes my head spin. I plan to buy a set of wheels for summer tires. I then plan on putting all seasons on my stockers for winter use, not snow I have a truck for that. Having said that if I drop serious money I would like a performance inprovement over stock for summer use. It seems like 235/40/18 is a very popular choice. It seems like 44 offset will work with those tires?

Elusivellama 02-22-2012 01:30 AM

I'm not sure about the offset on these cars, but I know that a couple people in the TSW Nurburgring thread (rfinkle2 and dizzyd) were running like 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 tires on 18x8.5 +45 nurburgrings. Since the OP got a 44 offset, I'm going to assume that he did his research and knew that it would work on the genpu.

Not sure if the 2nd gen have different sized shocks, perches etc. But on my gen1 i'm running a 245/40 with et48 up front, and there is little room before it starts rubbing the shock. 5mm spacer and will work perfect

MS3G35 02-22-2012 09:03 AM

Awesome man, should look great! I plan on getting the exact same wheel but in bronze for my silver genpu.
Come on summer!
