I am just starting to look into rims. I'm wanting to stay in the 1500-1800 range (rims and tires), and would prefer an 18" set. I would prefer to keep it silver (no black, white, gold, etc)

Anything come to mind that'd look purdy on a 2005 blue sedan? thanks!

 

did a little researching and found some great deals on wheelmax! just wanted some opinions on how these might look. given they both have a dish, so would they be better at 18"? i know that's pretty much a different thread in itself with the whole 17 or 18 issue, but i'm just curious what you all think!

 

if your looking to save money, id say go with a nice set of rotas, and stay away from silver. i dont think silver looks good on any car. also the ride is going to be really harsh on 18's. and brake dust will be an issue, but not if you like cleaning your wheels every couple stoplights. bronze looks good on blue, thats what im going with when i get wheels. and ive never heared of those wheels above.

 

i realize no one's heard of them. they're knockoffs. i just don't want to be like everyone else and get rotas or prodrives. trying to explore my options here

 

i like that one too. kind of looks like the axis (forgot the model).
anyways, i'm thinking 18x7.5. would rubbing be an issue if i have tein s-tech springs (2.3 drop in the front). or would it be better to stick with the 17x7?

 

GO boilers!!!.. heh..

 

get some volks =p

 

anything by ray's wheels, work wheels, or prodrive would be a great choice for a wrx. also, you might want to take a look at the oz superleggera's i believe you can get a set of those for under 1500 and they're so sweet looking, silver or gold, take your pick...

 

or get anything forged....

 

yes, yes, forged is very good. but a bit pricey $$

 

worth every penny.. you get what you pay for

 

what about width though?

how wide can i go with a 2.3inch drop in the front? 7.5, 8, 8.5? i dont want rubbing problems

 

SSR Comps will barely fit your price range but look great and the 18s weigh less than the stocker 16s.
