Help Please I'm Desperate!

Stiguy80 · 11-19-2007, 07:53 PM

I have been searching for a 17x8 wheel to put my stock bridgestone tires on for quite awhile now. I am looking for something that is light and will look good on my 2006 SGM. Unfortunatley, nothing seems to come in the right offset! So I come to you guys in hopes that your plethora of knowledge may find me the wheel I am so desperatley searching for!!

Thanks

Try some RSR's, there lightweight and have a decent selection of designs. Or you can go with Rotas if you are not trying to spend a arm and a leg for rims. Prodrives would be the next big step.

Try Subiedude.com or tirerack.com for some great deals.

I saw some prodrives I liked that were between $200-$300 per wheel but I don't think they came in an offset that will clear the brembos. I already tried the enkei rpm-2's and those deffinetly wont work

**04STiguy79** · 11-19-2007, 08:13 PM

That's weird, I just noticed you SN is STiguy80.

Stiguy80 · 11-19-2007, 08:16 PM

Whoa thats weird! Hey I liked the rota tarmac II's, especially the price! But they only come in a 17x7.5? Do you guys think that would be a big deal?

Tarmac 2s are so similar to the OEM BBS wheels....if you like that style why not get another set from the classifieds? They will fit perfectly and are the size you want.

One wheel that I really like that would look good on SGM would be some OZ Ultraleggera's. Tirerack.com has them and they aren't overly expensive.

**04STiguy79** · 11-19-2007, 08:26 PM

Got the Tarmac 3's, They hold up excellent and are a decent rim for the price. 18'x8's with Falkens and no rubbing issues on RSRTi2000 Titanium springs.

black racing pro n1's are nice..and are light and fairly strong.
