A member on r3v with the username Merton has some ATS super lights, I almost bought them last year.

.... I hate you right now. And love you at the same time.

How much? Size?

[The Full Banana]

merton is on this forum... he's local.

[Ryan...]

Oh, sweet, I was gonna go see if I still have those old PMs stored somewhere lol

[Ryan...]

Ok guys, gonna be painting my WRX this spring, its painted a very glossy black that my uncle just used on his Corvair project, and he's verbally agreed to help me paint mine :thumbup:

Now I gotta pick some wheels out. I'm thinking of some NTO3 replicas, but I also like these Sparco wheels on tirerack.. Size is 18x8, which color do you guys like most?

[rampelsauce]

Chartreuse for sure!

[GunMetalGrey]

Bottom right

[Hammerdown]

bottom left

[Earl]

None of the above=D Polished to the moon looks best with black

[alexw]

I had green wheels on my m3 for a while. There cool... But you have to think about how others see you when you pull up for a job interview, etc...

Just the adult in me speaking from experience.

[wasnt m3]

Why is it that every wrx owner needs to have super bright wheels??

[Ryan...]

Cause they look hella-bright? I had red wheels on my black e30 back in the day, I've always liked colored wheels

Looks like I'm getting some flat black NTO3s, but they may end up being powdercoated/painted down the road. If I could get a really glossy, or almost chrome finish gold I'd be super happy.

[alexw]

Lol. Fads.

Just rock a silver or gunmetal color if you're painting the car black.

[Earl]

^or bronze=)

[Ryan...]

But.... that's so boring lol

Sucks, cause I like black wheels, I like black cars, but I dont like black on black. Black/silver is boring, and I dont really like bronze

This might be the exception:

This makes me wanna paint it white..

[Earl]

Those the wheels you getting? What about neo Chrome or hyper silver?

[Ryan...]

Yep, same wheels. To get anything neo chrome would require anodizing at the very least

Might have to get silver though, almost all the black ones are back ordered.

[Ryan...]

I bought them in black.. Now I have to decide between 235/40 and 245/40.. I'm leaning towards the 245 to kind of take away some of the wheel gap.

[industrialsized]

or you could just drop that highboy beast, its not like its current ride height is useful in snow or anything

[Ryan...]

I'm looking at picking up a full "summer" suspension setup (2" lower up front, 1" rear), then throwing my current (taller) suspension back on for the winter months. Plus, I now have winter tires lol
