Hey guys, looking for rims here...
Im looking for a nice 5 spoke/star design, No dub crap, would also like a nice lip in the rear, nothing insane... looking for black or gunmetal
Dont want to do any kinda crazy bodywork to make them fit, cept getting rid of that little lip in the front and rear fenders.

looking for 18's

post pics please, already looked through the tirefitment thread, and didnt really see anything i like so i need more advice


Currently im really feeling the sportmaxx 926 gunmetal rims


any suggestions?

The Sportmax you mentioned seem like a good choice price wise.

Heres a split 5 spoke. Piaa super rozza 2p in 19 x9, x10 with a +25. They have a 3 1/4 lip front and 4 1/2 lip in the back. Plus depending on tire size you can get away with just rolling your fenders. I love mine.

Lip looks great man, love your car.

personally 20s are a little big for me


I think im going to go with

sportmaxx style 926
18x8.5 with 225/40/18 tire
18x9.5 with 265/35/18 tire



Think this will look clean for daily driver rims?
tires will fit correctly?

Wow, Is there any suspension Travel left up front? Looks good but seems like the ride would suffer.

yeah man still has a good 2-3 inch's of travel.

Removed both my front fender liners, rides great.

im getting ready to roll out my rear fenders so i can drop the back down the rest of the way


i REALLY like the slightly tucked look, so im looking for a rim/tire set up that will add nice looks along with upgraded handling, but at the same time i would like the top tucked in a little, my camber is borderline nuts so i can still fit in some nice wide wheels, but i honestly think 19s might be a little big
