Gold or Gunmetal on a gray 09 wrx

[blueeyezlatino]

So i want to run wider wheels on my 09 wrx, in fact the widest wheels that will fit under my fenders. but I'm not sure if I should get Gold rims or Gunmetal rims. i want your opinions.

here is my suby for reference:

hmmm. yeah i know i only have cell phone shots cuz i'm in new york. but i fly back tomorrow at 6 am so when i get back i'll take some pics with the Nikon and post them. sound better?

[wrxtreme06]

the quality of the picture is fine, i just need a better angle. maybe like a direct side shot would work. sounds better though.

Yeah I've decided on a wheel set up, size width, offset and finish.

now I just have to finish these stock tires off so I have an excuse to buy new rims and tires

[blueeyezlatino]

okay, so 18x8.5's, should I be running +30 or +40 offset?

stock are 17x7 +55

Avoid Rota.

[blueeyezlatino]

Avoid Rota.

why?

[wrxtreme06]

with 18x8.5 your offset should be in the 40's

30 offsets are going into "hella flush/aggressive" territory and require fender rolling & are known to be harsh on your wheel bearings/not practical for DDing

i do want an agressive look/hella flush. i came from the drifting world, so i love that look.

so you thinking I can run 18x 9's or 18x 9.5s? n what offset should i run if i do?

look on the front page & there are the size/offsets listed & links to pictures of the set ups. you can also look through the actual thread for more examples

here is a "flush" thread on 3g wrx (site for 08+ owners) after the first page there are some pics there.

find one you like & copy it. just be prepared to roll your fenders
