^Don't buy fake wheels. lol

[GunMetalGrey]

Well then feel free to give me the money to get "real" wheels.

[Earl]

or search craigslist=)

[GunMetalGrey]

Nothing good, I am stupid picky.

And Sportmaxx wheels have come a longg way from what they used to be

[GunMetalGrey]

What I truly want is a set of ATS Superlights

I will find a better picture later

[Earl]

Those are XXR. Indeed the same as sportmaxx, but not sold as sportmaxx=P lol But they're still fake. There are a ton of wheels on craigslist in Wisconsin. Chicago has a ridiculous amount.

[GunMetalGrey]

nothing good in a 4x100 with some width, these are what I REALLY want, but are not easy to come by.

[Ryan...]

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

[GunMetalGrey]

.... 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.
