Looking at some wheels

[njc1064]

I was actually thinking about getting some evo wheels (the black kind) for my 2ga talon....will they fit alright or what should i know before i do this? Also, i was going to get some lowering springs for the car, how low should i go (keep in mind i live in PA)

The Evo wheels will fit just fine, as the have the correct bolt pattern. There are quite a few people running Evo wheels on DSMs.

i was more worried about the offset and rubbing then anything...are they going to stick out beyond the fender of my 95 tsi awd? also, are these wheels heavy, as i am trying to find a lightweight option?

They will stick out a tiny bit, no worries though, they look great. And they are a reasonable weight.

any suggestions on where to get a set of evo wheels?

If by the "black kind" you mean the BBS wheels from the Evolution MR you might want to reconsider. Even though the are lightweight and look good they are not worth the $1000 per wheel price tag from the dealer. If you go to evolutionm.com there have been people selling them for $1500 for the set but they never last more than a day. You maybe better off just fonding a good wheel for a better price somewhere else.

Any suggestions? I'm looking for something black and light weight...I kind of like the look of a flat black 6 spoke wheel, but im not against a gloss black wheel.

the rims on there are what i like alot

Those are just the regular Evo wheels painted black. You should be able to find those pretty cheap. They are a little heavier than the wheels I was talking about earlier.

 

[njc1064]

Would you have any specifications on them? Im really interested in the weight issue, as im trying to keep lighten up! Also, where could i find those wheels? Do you have any recommendations of what you think might look good on my car (looks identical to the car in the picture minus the wheels and hood)

Check on any Evo web site or ebay.

What about the EVO FQ400 wheels? They are high gloss black, hub-centric, extremely brakes "friendly" and priced right.

i guess i really like 5 or 6 spoke wheels...im not very partial to the wheels you posted, but a good suggestion. I guess i dont think they would look good on my car. Im checking out some rota wheels too, trying to get something light and 5 or 6 spoked

Look into a set of rota slipstreams, they are 5 spoke but they spokes are kinda wider, they look amazing in flat black.

As where to get them im not sure.

the only problem is that the rota slip streams only come as a 16'' or a 15'' wheel...i was looking at 17'' or 18''

 

[njc1064]

i found slipstreams in a 17'' wheel and 8'' width which is more the less what i was looking for. The only thing is the offset was 48mm?

thoughts? will an 8'' wide wheel fit?
