Rim Opinion

[Veedub2.0T]

I am starting to have mixed feelings about my rims... so I am looking for more options (that is if I can sell my rims for a good enough price to afford a new set) I am thinking more along 19"s this time (yes I am insane) and am pretty much open to whatever color, silver, gold, bronze, gunmetal, black, etc.

So please post some pix and some opinions...


Thanks in advance

Pink Beetle Flower Power Caps. To match the future S2000.

[Veedub2.0T]

There is no S2K.. I am not allowed to look it ;)

[DragonEye]

keep your rims and get the R32 kit...sheesh

[blackwidow_dc]

go dish with a polished lip...

[SLVRSTONE1.8GTI]

I will take my Aristos over dish with a polished lip any day of the week but that's just me. I tried the same thing a few months ago but with all the lowballerz you will never get enough for your wheels.

[1sikJetta]

dude, ANY new BBS wheel in either 18" or 19" would look sick on your ride along with any HRE(i seriously doubt you'll even consider $$$$), Brock, or Keskin.

[v-dub mikey]

BBS pwn j0u.

[TRAF]

I think you need some 17s. In fact, I think you should trade me your aristos for my LBs + Cash. LOL ;)

No, but seriously, some iForged polished 19s would look hott or some SSR Professors :thumbsup:

[DuffMan]

mmm, HRE's

[mk4gtiboy]

well #2 is really light supposebly cause there hollow

[mk4gtiboy]

hey while we talking about rims what the widest u can go with without rubbing, 8? or 8.5

[20vcharlie]

LB's cant beat em
or
LM's

[Veedub2.0T]

I think the CHs will be in $2200 range.. so unless I can find a used set for $1500-$1700, I am considering one of the Axis ones for $1600...

[QUOTE=mk4gtiboy]hey while we talking about rims what the widest u can go with without rubbing, 8? or 8.5[/QUOTE]

I am hoping for 19x9.5 w/ 20mm spacers for the rear, and 19x8.5 with 5mm spacers for front

[mk4gtiboy]

but what u gonna do when u ahve a rotate ur tires????

[Veedub2.0T]

Well, when I have 19s, imma have to take it easy, so the tires should last a good year and half or two.. No way I can race on 19s. lol. so prob. will use my girlfriend's white rims for race, or find a set of 17s

I suppose you're planning to take them off for the "winter months?" Or maybe you only drive 750 miles a month at the most? Cause I wouldn't expect to get much more than 18,000-20,000 out of a set of 19" tires. I don't know about you, but that's less than a year per set of tires for me. :thinker:

18-20k actually would of been nice for my last set of tires. I only got about 11k out of Pirelli Pzero Neros with the 220 treadwear rating that cost me $550 at store cost

[BRM10984]

Why'd you choose those instead of the M+S version rated at 400 for treadwear? I realize the non-M+S would be a bit stickier, but is it really worth the extra cost overall?

[1sikJetta]

I just wanted something that would really stick since I planned on using them for both daily driving and autocrossing. They never once let me down and rode as if they were on rails but for what I was doing, I probably would of been alright with something different. As of right now I have the falken azenis st-115, which other than longetivity(i hope) and comfort, aren't that impressive at all.

[Satummoo]

Axis or BBS
Those are my favorites personally.

Btw, who is that in your avatar? ;)

[rodney]

My second favorite next to the CH's, RacingHart C4. And if those are out of the question, 18" OZ Superleggeras look good on just about anything. Those are the Leggeras on top :D

[ImStillMikeVR6]

17s?! Blasphemy! A solid pair of Borbet Type CD 16x7.5" will tuck your brakes in nicely....

All the ladies will say "Ooo persian pimp, oh do tell where you recieved those sexy 16" wheels." and you'll say "Shutup bitch, get in the car - - and clean your shoes off first!"

[Veedub2.0T]

[QUOTE=ImStillMikeVR6]you'll say "Shutup bitch, get in the car - - and clean your shoes off first!"[/QUOTE]

are you trying to get your ass kicked? lol

[ImStillMikeVR6]

doh:

[rodney]

I'll take back my comment about liking the superleggeras, cuz after these sweet mo-fos no other OZ wheel will look that good to me

[rodney]

uh oh, look at these :D They would look really good in 19

[beachbumguh]

[ibid]

hey... I do have my 17" oem porsche cup rims and adapters available.... bigger rims may look cool as hell BUT they mean worse ride quality and more bent wheels (at least here in chicagoland they do)

[Veedub2.0T]

Ride quality been out the window since the 2nd month I had the car dropped 2".. lol

[MrBlueVr6]

ride quality is not imporatant to PJ or I :)

hey pj , if you want to PShop the rims on ur car, lemme know, ill take a picture of my wheel at an appropriate angle and u can see how u like. Ud have to make them larger, but we'll work with what we have :)

i say the gold 19" OZ Supertorismo, I mean, hell, uve always told me to go gold, why dont u? :)

[silverbullet]

How much do you want for your rims?

[Veedub2.0T]

I do want gold or bronze, I yet have to visualized it on silverstone... and I like many spokes, but then again, i want something different than what I have... also, I am not sure if the 9.5" wide OZs with 20mm spacer in the rear will look right

[QUOTE=silverbullet]How much do you want for your rims?[/QUOTE]

offers? Two tires have 85% tread left, two have over 50% tread left..

[silverbullet]

Can you tell me the model of the rim and the tires you have. Where do you live? do you know the weight for shipping?

[MrBlueVr6]

i believe the rims are the factory 18x7.5 OZ aristos. Shipping....well, i"ll let pj talk to u about that.

[psionix]

^ those are OZ aristos 18 x 7.5 ^ if they are the OEM ones

[MrBlueVr6]

i stand corrected.
