Damn BAM

I hate you guys. I had just convinced myself that I didn't need new wheels since I just picked up some Star Specs in my stock wheel size, but now I want some new wheels! Time to do some more research...

Maybe try running some spacers and see if that holds you over for a bit?

I feel the exact same way.

Before - "Man my car is perfect the way it is!"

After - "Holy crap dude I need this and this, definitely this! Oh and this would be awesome!"

I'm still at Palo Alto, but I'm in the other building, but only 1/4 mile down the street.

I don't particularly want to get roll/pull my fenders, but I would like at least some meat on my wheels. I'm thinking either 18x8.5 or 18x9 or so with ~40-50 offset so I don't need spacers or anything, going with 245/40-18 or 265/35-18 depending on the wheels.

You guys want to post up pictures of suggestions by any chance?

The only wheels I know I don't like are the Rota Grids.

Exact opposite here. I look at all these hella flush cars and like my car more and more. If anything going for a ride in my buddies '11 wrx just made me want one of those. But I've also had my car for 10 years and changed most everything on it that actually made a difference.
