Let's use the Gallery for our cars.

This is a thread that has been done before, and usually provides some good pics to drool over.

Post pics of your aftermarket wheels, give specs. Post away.

My new wheels, had them put on Friday.
Rota Torque, 18x8, +48 offset. Hyper Silver finish.

Great idea!

Those rims looks sweet

L8APEX · 08-20-2007, 12:03 PM

thanks, X2!

Those wheels look way nicer on the 8 than I would have thought! If I'd seen the wheels alone, I would've said NO WAY! but seeing them on your car, they do look rather hot

Heres my meager collection:

My street wheels- Rota subzero 15x6.5 40mm offset:

My race wheels: Team dynamic Pro Race 1's 15x7 35mm offset:

And, the wheels on our racecar- velox performance wheels (unsure of model name) they're 17x7.5 40mm offset:

I originally wanted to go with the darker gray, but thought it might not look right. I also wanted to go a little more aggressive on the offset, but then the hub bore would not have matched the stock size, and I did not want to mess with hub rings. I also wanted to be able to keep my current tires, so going up to a wider wheel would not have worked out either.

Both cars looks great.

I'll post some pics of mine this week, need to take some first

a little heavier than some other 17's... approx 21 lbs if i remember correctly...

but the price was right, got them and the heat cycled azenis currently on 'em mounted and balanced for about $300

Mindcore · 11-10-2007, 03:30 PM

Bump!

Come on guys, lets see some pics!

I don't have any, so I'm not pointing fingers

L8APEX · 11-12-2007, 03:28 PM

I am a little surprised not more folks have afte rmarket wheels.

RJB_M6 · 11-13-2007, 02:12 AM

Well I'm no pro at taking pictures, but are a few:

MB EXE II 18X8 and I believe the offset is 53

L8APEX · 11-13-2007, 12:17 PM

those look pretty good, 18's on the 6 look so much smaller than I thought they would. Has it been lowered, I can't really tell in the pictures. I am trying to think of how my brothers car looks, I can't tell.

RJB_M6 · 11-13-2007, 04:03 PM

It is lowered on Teins, but by the pictures the front doesn't look lowered since the back is sagging from my old sound system. Even without the system, the back is still lower, but it looks more normal.

Oh, and they could look small because of the lip they have

L8APEX · 11-13-2007, 04:06 PM

I think I just thought 18's would fill the wheel wells a little more.

how many 6 owners step up to 19's?

kuro468 · 11-13-2007, 04:48 PM

can i post sum pics of my wheels .there not aftermarket but r unique to the kuro.a dark silver finish.dont no if u can tell by a pic but next to a normal coloured alloy wheel they r different

RJB_M6 · 11-13-2007, 06:02 PM

Here is a link to a 6 owner with 19s that I could dig up real quick:

And here are some pics of the same 6 owner with his previous 20s

Supersonic · 11-13-2007, 07:58 PM

Sagging because of your sound system? Damn man what did you have in there????
