Aftermarket Wheels: Post'em Up!!!

[Preloader]

Those would look pretty awesome with the way you've accented with the red, IMO.

It's a no brainer. They're perfect for your build.

Look what just showed up...Well I liked the first ones I found.. But I couldn't find much on reviews for them and the few I did was that the color red looked almost pink.. so I went with these wheels.. now just need rubber for them..

 

[Insanika]

Can't wait to see them ON!

Looks again like a just right amount of red.

You'll have to settle for dry humping until you get rubbers.

I dry humped mine in the garage for a week before I got to finally use some rubbers.

True story.

Just be careful that you dont get over excited once you get some rubbers on them. Would be a shame to bust a rubber and ruin the mood.

Hey, I haven't changed out my wheels, and I'm hoping someone here can help me I. My search for what I am looking for.

I have my Stock RS 17s on my car, and I'll likely keep them for snows, but I am looking for some new 17s for good weather.

I want truck Wheels.

I know, everyone here is probably like, wtf?, and I respect that, since the lack of compromises I am willing to make probably mean this wont happen, but has anyone seen any truck-looking wheels that would fit this car?

And no, I'm not gonna jack-up the suspension, a 17 in or so rim that will "fit" the proportions of my wheel well is what I am looking for.

Thanks for taking the time.

Uh, this is not the direction I am thinking.

The closest I have found is

But imagine red instead of the flat gray...

 

[Thaifight-R]

Hm the problem with a lot of truck wheels it seems is that the offset is usually too aggressive for a normal fwd car. (At least with all the ones I've seen so far.)

I presume you're not aiming for that widened steelie look right?

I know this isn't what you're aiming for, but just to show that it is possible to get adapters to go to a truck/suv bolt pattern. haha

(btw, those are Nissan Frontier wheels)

 

[Macehammer]

Yeah, I'm trying to stay as close to the basic proportions/design if the pre-existing hardware, to lessen complications/hardware issues/degradation/failure rates/etc.

Those specific wheels on that specific car, not so bad, but some things I have seen are just F'N ridiculous.
