Volk Time Attack CE28N

18x8.5 +40 should fit perfectly. Flush, won't poke.

***evilSTi7*** · 07-28-2006, 07:30 AM

^^^^ YES (or the time attack te-37's)

i also happen to think gold looks awesome on red.

hmm... a buddy of mine has a WRX with +38 offset wheels in a 9" or 9.5" wide tire running 275's and his doesn't poke. It's right on the edge... but no poke.

It is far enough out that it would eat fender if he wasn't running really high spring rates.

Mykl · 07-28-2006, 08:12 AM

Nevermind, I suppose this could qualify as poking, although it's not bad and it looks great in person...

Since those 8.5" Time Attacks are close to 10mm's inboard as measured from the outside edge of the wheel I think that would be enough to make it look more flush. I'd run a 245 width tire on the wheel.

**T3h_Clap** · 07-28-2006, 08:15 AM

it all depends on the tire, there is a guy with 235s on his 8.5" +40mm Volks on here and they are right on the edge.

can't remember his name right now.....

**T3h_Clap** · 07-28-2006, 08:39 AM

Rolled rear fenders... 12k/10k spring rates

...and this car is used for Solo and time trials. It has stickers on it because the car is sponsored.

I was thinking of getting a carbon fiber body kit and a carbon fiber hood and doing some body work on the car as well so keep that in mind as well.

Appreciate it soooo much thnx guys!

This is like that commercial with the 99c chicken sandwich and the unicorn where the guy is late...

ok you want opinion on wheels....BUT wait you have revealed yourself!!! You have a ESX STi!!!! You are the first person I've seen to have revealed itself...Not a fan of the car but I respect your choice and taste. I'm sure its fun car and as long as you enjoy it ...hey that is all that matter.

Wheels.

Yes I would recommend the TE37 time attacks for your car...also a paint job and ...just kidding on the last sentence.

Cheers

Go back there if you are going to flame people for no reason.

I'd go with something in a gunmetal color, or dark silver.
And don't go with anything less than 8" wide.

Maybe some Volk ce28 titanium color.

oh really so that's what this is IWSTI.com, damn my bad I thought it might be www.honda-tech.com. The only reason why I was being a dick to this kid is because he goes by the local meets freaking floors his car past the meet and rev's at everyone and does not even stop, he just takes off and it irritates everyone. Once he stopped we tried to be cool and talk to him but he thought he was too cool so it is all good. He just got that setup he has because my friend with bolt ons and a Ecutek tune beat him before he had all his stuff done. I am not trying to be a dick just because but this kid thinks he is the **** and people do not always appreciate that.
