are you getting a custom size?

I don't see 18x9 available.

and both of the 17x9 offsets are very very wrong.

just picture a black center with a red lip, it isn't like you can see detail on the black wheels anway.

white on white rocks!

Gram Light 57 Maximums

and the XD-9s are already here in the states.

Z1-Auto has some instock.

Important question!!

If I do get 18s, what tires could even come close to the grip and responsiveness of the RE070s? If I have to go up to say 255 Azenis 615s, then dont I lose the weight advantage of the rims? Is it even worth going to 18s?

I have some British Black Prodrive GC05s on order and I cannot wait for them to get here(early August). I think they look absolutely sexy on a white STi. They're relatively light, strong, and forged. I love the CE28n but as stated above, they're a bit played out if you're going for something a little more unique.

js3324 · 06-17-2006, 10:51 AM

Those are actually pretty nice, do you know the weight on them?

Well, I found these wheels that seem to work well with 255 tires.

It's 5zingen Fn01r-c in 17x9 +43mm offset. Go to www.edgeracing.com to check it out. I think matt black would look awsome on the STi.

With this offset, I know you may need to bang your fenders a little. But, it will work.

I vote for the White Work XD9 with some Falken RT-615...go agressive or go home imo.

Maybe some nice Blue Work Lug Nuts to top it off...

I would hump your car if I ever saw it.

I'm thinking the same..I have Work Emotion's currently, but am now looking for a new set of rims. I love the CE's, but they're definitely played out. My problem is i can't find any other rim that interests me.

that wasn't one of the wheels you listed.

either way, good luck finding a set, they've been backordered to japan for months now.

and that size and color is being run by Scooby South.

those are my inexpensive track wheel of choice.

Im guessing the XD9s are the ones that are white already in the pics?
