Patterson Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't want to know what your pole is doing as a result of my lack of facial hair sir. Oh how I've missed you. How about a poll for this? Errr the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Congrats on getting your car, that feeling you get when you first set eyes on her and sit inside has to be like having a kid. Best feeling in the world. Had two, no not even close to seeing your kid for the first time. Good to know you're fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 In for a ride sometime bro. No problem. Congrats on getting your car, that feeling you get when you first set eyes on her and sit inside has to be like having a kid. Best feeling in the world. I've been kind of stressed out because it seemed I got skipped on the deliveries. But when I got the call I danced a jig. :lolguy: Ooooorrrr the ubiquitous BBS's? Great rims, but big bucks. The expensive rims are on the STI. The Alleggeritas are still sub 400 but that's about as high as I want to go. I might make an exception for a set of Wedssports but to get them in a color other than silver, it's a 4-5mo wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what any of these weigh, but they're usually pretty light. http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=31 http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=81 http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=64 http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 PF01's then. That was easy. These are actually WORK wheels, but they look much the same. They are also 18s. I'm going with 17s for better tire choices. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s720x720/292134_298129036925601_247419668663205_705611_28633073_n.jpg I'm still not sure if I want to do another black on black car.

Rotas tend to be too heavy for my criteria. All of those are at 20+lbs. If I keep my rims at 18lbs or less I can keep the weight gain at each corner to only 1lb max. Oh, and I don't like polished lips on cars built after the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 http://www.90s411.com/images/in-living-color-men-on-film.jpg lol In Living Color is still funny as hell. Thread relevant info below: I'm jealous. It's taking so much to hold off on one but I have too many eggs in my current basket. I've been looking at the black and the dark gray. I was really suprised at how good that fire orange color (forget the actual name) looks on that car, but it's just not my color at all.

PRD2BDF Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm still not sure if I want to do another black on black car. I wouldn't. I think black on black is played out. It was cool for the last few years but now it's becoming ruined by douchebags spraybombing their hubcaps and Sears wheels black and doing a shitty job at that. Dark gray is the absolute max I would go. That being said, those wheels you are looking at, are those the ONLY wheels available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Black wheels can be done right, his sti is proof. If you label everything played out, that is popular and/or messed up by ricers, there would be nothing left. Do a light gunmetal color, not too dark, or silver.

Dark gray is the absolute max I would go. That being said, those wheels you are looking at, are those the ONLY wheels available? No, but they're the ones I've narrowed it down to. They have to be sub 18lbs, no chrome lips, not a light silver, and meet a subjective appearance standard (I gotta like how they look). They also should be readily available. I don't want to wait 4 months for my rims. Last time I did that, it turned into 8 months. The TSWs are available through Discount Tire. But I haven't been able to swing by one to see how long they'll take. The others are in stock at Tire Rack and I know I can have them and the tires I want mounted/balanced in just a couple days.

I don't like silver wheels on a black car. They're too distracting. I like wheels that look a part of the car rather than standing out. So if I don't do black, I want to do a gunmetal. Silver is fine on lighter cars, but they just seem to scream "Look at me!" when on a black car. Even more-so with chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I would never run a TSW. Don't even waste your money on some garbage wheel... put something quality on that car, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.. A TANK uses them! :lolguy: I know, I don't have the greatest opinion of TSW rims either, but their new rotary forged rims are pretty good. I also really like their look. This is why I can't make up my mind. My usual opinionated streak has deserted me in my time of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 O.Z. Alleggerita HLT would be my choice. The whole theme of the car is light light light, get the lightest wheel you can within your budget. Probably too late but I wouldn't let them wash / prep a black car at the dealer.

JuicedH22 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Cool looking car for sure, nice pick up. I suggest go-fast parts, before look-fast parts though. I am sure with some FI, intake/exhaust, that thing will be wicked fun to match those already great looks in stock form for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Here's the Alleggeritas on a car in roughly the same size. http://www.liam27.com/audi/S3-OZ-Alleggerita-01.jpg Just not sure..... Cool looking car for sure, nice pick up. I suggest go-fast parts, before look-fast parts though. I am sure with some FI, intake/exhaust, that thing will be wicked fun to match those already great looks in stock form for sure. I would like to. But because this is not just a brand new model, but a new platform and engine, go-fast parts are nigh non-existent. So look-fast parts are first. I'm not sure how much power can be gained from this engine, however. I think if an intake/head-back exhaust/tune nets me 30hp I'll be pleasantly surprised.

JuicedH22 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have a hard time seeing 30whp from an exhaust and intake on a 2.0 engine. but I have been wrong before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't go FI with this car. When I have it paid down in a few years, I'll see what the current models are like. By that time there will likely be FI cars from the factory. If they look good, I'll go back to stock and trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
