View Full Version : 18x9.5 Concaveness
ommmjido 11-03-2007, 01:02 AM got my 7th set of wheels for this car yesterday, and the most aggressive size/offset so far :D they're 18x9.5 ET35 Rota TorqueR in Hyperblack, along with 255/35/18 Falken FK452. the camber is at -2F -1.5R at the moment, looking to get realigned to -2.5F -2R next week. right now there's minor rubbing in the rear, but im not too worried becoz these will be my street wheels only. this is probably the most concave wheels u will see on a stock body WRX, especially in 5x100, so hope u guys enjoy! :devil:
PS- please excuse the dirty car :p

I walked into Faxon garage and Henry showed these to me. Very sick bro! Makes me wanna go wider! You should put on some 18X10s next and give Henry some competition.

was going to go black but now white has caught my attention
dunnojack 11-08-2007, 09:35 AM nice, nice, nice! you should use this at the track too tho vennis, it'll make the handling a lot better. NEXT, WE PULL YOUR FENDERS and put 15mm SPACERS!!!
WECKIN WREX 11-08-2007, 10:05 AM damn! thats clean! too bad 5x100 doesnt go that wide in most rims.
GOOD job on the car! :thumb:
ommmjido 11-13-2007, 11:03 AM looking good vennis! let me borrow the mag blues...haha

AzN121184 11-13-2007, 11:58 AM wow very nice. i've seen ur car several times around sf. i'm the white bugeye sedan with gold ssrs
dlouie87 11-13-2007, 10:37 PM looks good.
ommmjido 11-24-2007, 10:53 AM wow very nice. i've seen ur car several times around sf. i'm the white bugeye sedan with gold ssrs
what kind of SSR do u have?
so steezy 11-24-2007, 04:38 PM do you still have your blue volks? sorry if someone already asked that...oh yea, and thanks to you and your pics, I walked into mach III and talked to Henry AGAIN about getting ANOTHER set of rims, this time WIDER!
ommmjido 11-24-2007, 05:35 PM yes i still have the Volks, should be selling them soon tho. what wheels r u thinking abt getting? there arent many wide wheels in 5x100.
so steezy 11-24-2007, 05:56 PM I was looking at some gram lights...possibly some volks. the gramlights can come in custom offsets. better start saving..let me know when you decide to sell those mag blues.
AzN121184 11-26-2007, 12:07 AM what kind of SSR do u have?
i have ssr comps gold with a polished lip. :(
wrxguy 11-26-2007, 10:23 AM i have ssr comps gold with a polished lip. :(
aka super hurt wheels
GripItUp 12-12-2007, 03:04 PM Goddamn man, that looks really sharp, I love concave more than deep dish. Where did you happen to get those wheels, and you think that a 18x8 +35 in the rear will be concaved enough? Thanks man. Keep up the work.
ommmjido 12-12-2007, 03:44 PM i have ssr comps gold with a polished lip. :(
hey do u go to SFSU? coz i've seen a clean a$$ bugeye with the wheels u've described at state a few times. sweet bugeye! :)

i got the wheels from Henry at MachIII. as far as 18x8 +35 i dont think its wide enough to have the concave effect.
ommmjido 12-12-2007, 03:54 PM new pics with new aligment setup, ended up with -3F -2.5R, super flush!

GripItUp 12-13-2007, 01:16 AM After the alignment, are the tires rubbing the fender? And did you happen to roll them?
GripItUp 12-13-2007, 01:19 AM Are the tires rubbing the fender after the alignment? Also did you happen to roll the fenders? Thanks. Looks great man.
ommmjido 12-13-2007, 01:52 AM no rubbing now, the fenders were already rolled. this is my second set of 18x9.5 ;)
AzN121184 12-14-2007, 02:13 AM hey do u go to SFSU? coz i've seen a clean a$$ bugeye with the wheels u've described at state a few times. sweet bugeye! :)

GripItUp 12-14-2007, 02:52 AM I've been looking for the Torque R's, I've checked Mach III and others and no one has it, are they new? After seeing it on your car, I'm so down to get a set for mine. Thanks.

I was trying to find those rims myself but I talked to Henry and he said that they dont make them anymore. guess im SOL

Jonnybravo 02-06-2008, 06:18 PM What's your ride height? Is there more rear clearance on a 06 sti or same?

ommmjido 02-08-2008, 08:36 AM What's your ride height? Is there more rear clearance on a 06 sti or same?
i havent measure my ride height. on a 06' STi, ur stock fenders r already prerolled, but from what i've heard the STi's have a little wider track, so its hard to say......
ommmjido 02-09-2008, 01:47 AM wheels r for sale BTW
