Any suggestions? Tires wore out, going to switch over to my winters and figured I’d pick up 18" rims and tires for the spring. I’d like to stay with gold. Dirty pic of the car in winter mode: ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5669&stc=1&d=1222285187](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5669&stc=1&d=1222285187) Maybe the '08 stockers? They’re 18s… ![http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/3004000-3004999/3004429_8_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/4/web/3004000-3004999/3004429_8_full.jpg) ---

chino has an 08… I would talk to him about the stock rims… IDK if he has those rims though… he has said his rims are about 900lbs though. ---

He has silver rims, not that style. edit: Not too sure on price range, if I really like them then it would be more worth it to me than less expensive rims I don’t like as much. ---

> [@BluBalls](#): > > I was just looking around and they seem to go for 1200-1500. I guess not too bad seeing that they are a $3500 factory option… they are nice lookin wheels. A lot better than the 04-07 imho ---

You want _summer_ 18’s and tires? The Tarmacs are pretty sharp. I’d swap to 18" summers and tires and 16" winters. uNless you’re hung on the big wheels in winter. ---

SSR Prof or Work S1’s like Newmans but 1" wider and 15mm lower offset than recommended… roll fenders, lower 1" more than your conscience suggests and make people jealous. ---

I’d swap to 18" summers and tires and 16" winters. uNless you’re hung on the big wheels in winter. 16s won’t fit… brakes are too big. I was going to do 18s for the summers and keep my 17" stockers for winters, I already have snow tires for them. bing, I have to be careful with the drop. The mean streets of Boston beat the crap out of cars and this is my daily. I do agree that it would look pimp though. ---

100% get advan rs’s (or rz’s) stock 08 BBS’s are nice, but as with all stock sti wheels their offset sucks. > [@bing](#): > > SSR Prof or Work S1’s like Newmans but 1" wider and 15mm lower offset than recommended… roll fenders, lower 1" more than your conscience suggests and make people jealous. i agree on width, offset and drop, i just don’t dig the prof’s and s1 style on the sti though (all though on the 08’s it looks ok but thats because it looks like an EK hatch :P) ---

ok, when are you dropping your car and getting those? Black on black looks good for the '08s… I not as much of a fan on the previous body style though. I do like those in gold: ![http://www.nyxracing.com/images/advanRScarpic.jpg](http://www.nyxracing.com/images/advanRScarpic.jpg) ---
