GShyneDM Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Mike... still looking for wheels bro?!Anyhow, you need them to be bigger, and with your car lowered... Do they come in 18/19 inch?(as said by Kev, and you had already mentioned)The stance will definitely improve the look of the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a good set of 19s but decided against it. I do load up my car more often than less, so I will stick with 18s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 you need 19's Mike. see you at the meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaughtLikeFire Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think they look pretty good - I'd rock 'emAnd they only weigh 18.4 lbs in 18x8 Would something like the Heico Volution look a little better? yeah. but even with upgraded turbos and lots of torque on these cars, ~10lbs reduction in rotational mass is a huge deal.

Mike H. Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 you need 19's Mike. see you at the meet?Not in LA traffic. I've been through some nasty streets and even with the stock 17s it's pretty hairy at times. 18s are good enough for me. It's a daily driver not a show car (like some people )Meet is tentative. I'll sign up on the thread anyways, but I might have some family stuff that weekend.I think they look pretty good - I'd rock 'emAnd they only weigh 18.4 lbs in 18x8 Would something like the Heico Volution look a little better? yeah. but even with upgraded turbos and lots of torque on these cars, ~10lbs reduction in rotational mass is a huge deal.I would love to get Volutions but 1) they are expensive and 2) I need to run spacers to make them work on the car at an additional cost.

Mike H. Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 you 100% sure on that Mikey?That's what Scott said and that's what IPD's website shows as well. I doubt Scott is going to give me spacers for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaughtLikeFire Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 WITHOUT breaking the bankI think its settled then - get the Ultraleggeras lightweight (for a Volvo fitment) @18.4lbs, looks good (classy look), reasonable cost for 18x8 ($290) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
