NEW POLL: Gold/Natural/WRBlue (pulling a mikes98rt)

uugggghhhhh drool

on blue? the gold, for contrast. duh :wink:

anyone know any good JDM wheel sites?

I decided to look for the work meisters and the ssr professors…

Professors on clearance ^

yeah, but i don’t think those will fit on my car… i already saw them. lol…

the fronts are good, but the backs would stick out 1 1/8 more than stock… lol… i think that’s a bit excessive…

i would need to run a TON of negative camber in the rear…

ugh that white one you posted is fuggin hotttt

:eekdance:

very, very hot.

Already looked there. No offsets i can use… Subarus are weird.

I need a +48 if i use an 8J wheel. If i use 8.5J i need 42 or 43…

I think i am getting the meisters in 18X8.5

The rears have a 2.5" lip. yikes!

I have wanted these wheels for about 4 years… I think i am finally going to get them…

I was thinking of getting black… Good idea?

I am going to have to stretch the tires i think to clear my fenders… They are trying to talk me into a 9 inch rear, but i have heard weird things about running staggered on AWD… I think i am going to stick with 8.5 front and rear. They run different center discs.

The downside? The are 6-8 weeks out. :frowning:

no wheels this year :frowning:

Now, should i get the 2 piece or 3 piece?

3 pc are actually cheaper… (only 50 bucks though)

2pc:

3pc:

if you really want to man up:

honestly, i’d take the meisters over any kinesis wheel…

i am thinking 2pc (no rivets) w/ black spokes…

blah blah blah I’m a ricer JDM whore blah blah blah my super-top-secret-weapon-zero-R aluminum wing comes in air-freight tomorrow blah blah :rolljerk:

That’s all I’m hearing :wink: Don’t get me wrong, Work’s great stuff (hence why I mentioned it earlier) but when you started talking about specific fitment, offset, 2pc, etc, well, who/how better than getting wheels MADE for the car, in the USA, easy to order, etc than Kinesis.

it’s not about brand at all… i just like the works better. :gotme:

i’m still unsure about color and 2pc/3pc

some more pics:




you do realize that the Kinesis um, K57 iirc (what I had for the Porsche) is pretty much exactly that look?

you chose the finish, you chose the size, problem solved :wink:

hmm, i didn’t see that one… i’ll look into it…

I’d go 2pc. Those rivets are a bitch to clean around.

newman I <3 you, i knew i could get someone i know to get the professors/meisters…they are the hottest rim on the hottest car ever.

the kinesis rims arent bad tho, but their spokes dont have the flaring design when it gets closer to the lip like hte ssr/works

good luck with your decision, either1 is hot.

and check nasioc.com there are people selling professor/meisters there pretty regularly

-exactly

-i’ve looked on there, nearly all are 5X100

fawk I like the those kinesis
