Wheel pics for the 08 sti

***stealth*** · 04-25-2008, 09:06 AM

There should be an 08 sti wheel pic thread so I don't have to go through the other wheel thread looking for 08's. Because I'm super lazy.

Hey, that looks like the DGM STI I saw at the NNJR autocross!! Nice looking car, and sweet wheels. Not to mention nice run for the new car.

Yea that was me

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

It may look better with a drop, but you gotta like the fact that that the wheel gaps are much better looking in stock form than the older cars. I don't think I'm going to lower mine if I get one, maybe stiffen the springs or add sway bars.

tro8, I like those wheels a lot.
