My 08 silver hatch needs some shoes. I'm wondering if I could get some guidance with what I should get. I'm thinking something a little dishy but more input would help thanks!

What style do you like? Something with shape, but 5 spoke, 6 spoke, multi spoke, mesh?
Color? Polished lip? Size?

Cheapest dish style wheels would be OEM off other cars but you'd have to do lug conversion, and then after that would be works.

I'm looking mainly for like polished mesh with a decent lip on it

Black faced mesh with a polished lip would look sweet!!! I have a 2008 SSM sedan with 18x8 ET40 STR 601's with the setup I described, pics attached of my car for reference

Ehhhh I'm not into the whole black wheels thing. I want polished mesh. If not that I was thinking orange 5 or 6 spoke, but it's a thought process still. I gotta make the money for it first or find someone that could help me out with finding them cheaper. I also really like the stretched tire look.

WRX~Mike I found your wheels in all silver and that's exactly what I'm looking for and it isn't gunna clean my wallet out. Thanks so much for the help!

They were originally sliver but I had them
Painted to black and no problem, glad to help a fellow I- clubber out Here's a few pics of when it was silver on my WRX.

Yeah man thanks alot. They look awesome silver. I'm thinking of running 215-35-18 tires which would give it a slight stretch so the lip has a good definition kinda like this



It's not too much stretch, but it's classy looking none the less

Stretch looks cool but I am starting to do track days with another club I belong to and stretched is a bad idea for aggressive cornering. Here is a 2010 with 18x9.5 Linea Corse Lemans to give you an awesome idea of what silver mesh will look on your car and being dropped on coilovers.

That's clean! Haha I'm tryna go lower though possibly tuck a little tire. I don't race and I'm not a crazy driver I just like to go to shows, cruise, and look nice I'm not about the racing scene.

His car would look nothing like that. He doesn't have nearly that kind of fender space, as you would know.

OP, please don't ruin another Subaru. The picture you posted is of an extreme stretch and the words most would use to describe are the polar opposite of classy. BTW, 215/35/18s are the incorrect size for a WRX.

I'm not tryna have gaping space in my wheel well I'm tryna fill it up and I'm having body work done before I get my wheels anyway. That's a good tire size for 18x8 wheels. Go to tyrestretch.com and look for 195-35-18 or 195 on any 18" wheel and that's the most extreme you could possibly go on stretching. That's to the point where there's almost no sidewall left, some people even go 185 it's insane.

Yeah. My buddy has 17x9.5 with 205s and 17x10.5 with 215s.
Your stretch is minimal. If you are going for a flush setup be sure to get coilovers so you don't wreck **** lol.

My coils are step 1 haha. Wheels are still a little bit down the line.
