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.

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.

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.

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.

i got the wheels from Henry at MachIII. as far as 18x8 +35 i dont think its wide enough to have the concave effect.

After the alignment, are the tires rubbing the fender? And did you happen to roll them?

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......
