PS Wheels what do you think?

[csweston]

Ive been trying to decide what set of wheels i should go with. I loved these wheels but i wasnt sure how'd they look on my car, so i did a quick ps. What do you think?

lol I love how you lowered it and just left a big black spot where it used to be.
but, IMHO those are not the best looking rims I have ever seen, there is too much going on in them.

agreed

what size do you want and whats your price range on the wheels?

[Huffer]

Are you going for a street machine or what? Mudflaps don't usually belong on a slammed car. Aero kits usually look a bit more together for that style.

your chop confuses me. next time you want to lower the car, cut from the under body across to the edge of the picture and around the upper boarder of the picture, then slide all of it down, then you wont leave a huge black space along the roofline of the car.

besides that the wheels just look too out of place in that chop, the lighting is so different its hard to say if i like how they look or not.

Haha i realized that i lowered the car the wrong way after the fact. I was too tired to go back and change it. The size of wheels im looking to run are 17x8.5 or 17x9 ET30. As far as price goes around $1000. Im thinking I'll add the legacy gt bumpers and spoiler.

I wanna see '11 wrx wheels on a BD/BG. they go for 1k with tires in excellent condition and are 17x8 otherwise just get rotas. good quality and they make them in your widths should be cheaper too

i like the last one the best

Am I the only one that thinks a set of wide (8 or 9) 16's look better than a 17? I can't be happier with my 16x8s.

CR Kai gets my vote though. Assuming you're actaully that low and tucking tire.

You'll probably have to get rid of your mudflaps. The front ones atleast. I scraped through a half inch on my smaller mudflaps.

[Huffer]

The pshops are deceiving... they make the wheels look like 18s or 19s because there's extremely low profile tires on them.

I like the idea of 16x8s, but I think 17x7 or 17x8 is the perfect size for a enthusiastically driven daily car. Plenty of rubber to protect the wheel while still giving a nice sports look and contact patch.

Don't tell the 15x10 AutoX guys though. :D

I like the idea of 16x8s, but I think 17x7 or 17x8 is the perfect size for a enthusiastically driven daily car.

17x8 preferably. Though I'm biased when it comes to wide wheels. Wider is always better. I'll post a pic of my 16x8s for reference once I get some pics. The 16's only look good with a decent drop IMO. So the 17's might be the best option anyways.

those first wheels belong on 05 + legacies IMHO, for your car id recommend some 2.5rs wheels which are cheap and look nice. or some stock legacy 05+ wheels flat black
