Default Re: Wheel pics for the 08 sti

[quote=tro8;1836971]still don't have the Rays black lugs on yet but here are pics from my lunch break in the rain.... So I ended up going with the TRmotorsport MT1's in the 18x9.5 45mm offset. Each wheel with lugs should only be 19.4 lbs which is big drop from the 28+ lbs stockers. For now i just had the stock 245/40/18 stretched on till i burn them off this summer and then get some 275-305's... (stock 5 spoke wheels are going to get uses as winters with snow tires)
now the car just needs a 2-3in drop......coilovers comming as soon as i have another $2500



Have you noticed a difference in rotating mass withthe lighter wheels? Better braking quicker acc ect
