Wheel opinions

[h8r]

I am really thinking about getting Rota Sub Zero's on my 99 GST... I want the Gun Metal with polished lip in 18" variety. The thing I am wondering though is will these wheels sit to in board with the 5x114.3 48mm . I want to get 235 or 245's on them if possible... I have Ksport coil overs but have not lowered the car yet. Anyone rock this size? If so pics from a few angles would be great....

I should mention that I want them to give a nice wide stance, and be flush or a hair past the fenders.

I priced them and the price is around 600 shipped! Sounds like a great deal!

Ok... I guess I should just scrap the idea of getting opinions... 48 Views.. Zero response.

What do you want to know? Do you want approval from the forums/members? What width is the wheel, that would help determine if it will give you the look/stance you want. I would say a 18x8.5 +35-40 offset would look good.

They ar 18X 7.5.

That seems a little skinny for the size tire you want to run. Wheels are clasic, albiet more for the Hondaphiles. Light and cheap. Sounds good to me.

where did you get that price from. I am interested in going rota too.

They will look sunk in, wont look to good, maybe run some 25mm spacers..

Thats what I was thinking Josh... I just don't like the idea of the spacers.... I think I might just bite the bullet and get the rpf1 Enkei.

48mm offset will haev them tucked in pretty good.

Yes do that. Those RPF1s are an awesome wheel, light weight and there not expensive.
Also spacers are not a bad idea, just get the hubsentric (sp?) ones..

I would rather a wheel fit my car correctly with no spacers... I would put some on but only if its needed.

 

[h8r]

The RPF1's don't really have many options for color.. Silver or Chrome.. These wheels are very nice looking, I am just not sure if I am willing to get them (not a bad price) and then have them powdercoated (black chrome centers)... Then I would be in them another 100+ bucks a peice... Hmm... Suggestions? I really am confused now. The car is Minden Silver... I just feel silver wheels would look to plain, and chrome would look out of place.
