boosted98gst Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 old bbs wheels are nice, but most come in weak sizes and offset, try looking for a set of "work vs" they are mesh but are going to run in the 2-3k range just for the rims. the work cai are nice, its what i have on my 240 but its a cheap entry leval rim thats pretty heavy, make sure you do your homework and get what you like, even getting a nice used set might do you well check on rbmotoring.com for used jdm wheels that have a decent price.

zeitgeist57 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Those BBS wheels do look pretty good, though... You should hold out for better wheels. When I wanted aftermarket wheels for my Vette, it only took me a couple of months for the right set to come up at the right price...it does take time.

Berto Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 The current leader is the RPM 505. While work, volk, and SSR all make great wheels these are much cheaper. for the 3G's I saved I'll buy performance mods. http://www.performanceplustire.com/php/view.image.php/?src=/imagesProducts3/2631.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 The RPM 505's would work out very well, provided they are the right width and offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Meh RPM didn't have a good offset so I ended up going with the Stern ST8s 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 rear in the 'hyper black' finish. Which isn't black at all its just a little darker silver. http://adaptivestrategies.com/stern_hyper_blk_st8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MmSadda Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ah, that last post from the OP is a nice choice of wheels for the FC. Total secks. What size tires are you going with, though? I can picture you needing to roll the fenders, especially in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmSadda Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I went back and looked at all the pics in the first post.... and then I fapped. a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 225/40/18 Front and 255/35/18 Rear. Shouldn't need to roll anything :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MmSadda Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 ^Oh, nice! It sounds like you've done your research plenty well; From what I've heard, that's about as aggressive as is reasonable to go without rubbing. The tires will probably be stretched a little bit, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Nice, Berto! My Vette wheels are "hyper black" as well. It's a good look for black cars; shiny, but not too showy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
