ummmm ughhhhhh hmmmmmm......

Whatever floats your boat. You are the only person that has to like them.

I will say this......"They are shiny."

She should have done on of those shots where she sits on the rim/tire in a bikini. Like she was at SEMA.

<--------- thats right.

those would look really good without the fake 3pc bolts. fake stuff on anything sucks.

yeah, lets see the whole car. Notice any rubbing?

I just bought some new wheels too. They're 16x6.5 with a 55mm offset and 205/55 tires and look exactly like the ones on my car already.

Heh. It was way cheaper to just buy another set of WRX take-offs then get new tires for my wheels. Now I can sell three wheels and have a full sized spare. Got the set for $250, tires have 100 miles. A set of Kuhmos ASXs mounted and balanced and all that is like $450. I can live with the RE92s.

Hey guys! thanks for the compliments. the offset is 42 mm which i have been told is 3 mm shy, and the guy looked it up and said they might not fit. but they put them on and there was no problem, and they said that if i notice any rubbing within the next few weeks then they will put on some adr's for me that have a 45mm offset at no charge.

and the fake 3-piece rim sounds good to people like me who don't have the cash or need for real ones

Not to sound stupid but what's an adr?

snowboarded · Post by **snowboarded** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 2:29 pm

Really shiny and um bright.

Everyone has their own preferences.

Too much bling for me.

Trying to figure out what wheels to get for summer/racing as we have $750 credit at the tire crack.

<-- AND has his hands on some 99 RS wheels

Tire crack? I gotta start shopping there

entirelyturbo · Post by **entirelyturbo** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 5:22 pm

Yeah, a little blingy for my tastes. Whatever tickles your pickle though...

Let me guess.......impulse buy?

You probably could have gotten the same rimns on ebay for half price.

They actually don't look that bad. Looks pretty good. Enjoy then blang!

They look alright but I would just tell the guys they are rubbing, even if they aren't, so that you can get the proper offset.

second that

snowboarded · Post by **snowboarded** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 8:02 pm

Yea, just take some corners extra hard, safely of course, and violla, wheel rub!!

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 7:22 am

I third the above. Proper offset is key.

If you like them, that's all that matters.

Suzie-Q · Post by **Suzie-Q** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 4:59 am

okay. so today i finally went driving so i could see if my tires are in fact rubbing. i turned my radio off and cornered hard at around 15 mph. there is indeed significant tire rub. and when i go over a mid-size bump they scrape as well. damn. tomorrow when i get my left cv changed i am going to have them order the adr's and put them on.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 3:42 pm

What are the widths of the rim?

A 215/40 should be fine on a 7.5" rim with a 48mm offset.
