Show Your Rimz and Tirez!

blk2.5GT · 01-21-2011, 07:52 PM

I recently took off my rims and tires and put on the stock ones and thought I would start a thread to allow one another to show what you're ridin' on...so show us! (I know mine are dirty...it's 2 degrees out...LOL)

-18x8 Amp Tsukubas (I got a killer deal...$250 for all!

)
-215/35/R18 Triangle Talons (TR968) Nice, cheap tires that are reinforced and that handle great.

This will be the second time putting on my summer rims. I'm wondering if I need to get an alingment after I put them on due to our awd systems...?

OEM 2005 rims with 225s on them. Nothing to look at.

You shouldn't need an alignment, but do be sure your treadware is even.

Now, if you change suspension, you'll need an alignment.

Will 18x8's off of my 05' lgt fit a 2008 WRX?????

SubieChik · 01-20-2012, 06:48 AM

Still rocking the painted stockers....

I always said that I loved my stock wheels so much I would never get other wheels. Well.......that changed over the past couple months looking at all the aggressive fitment wheels on .com I love it...not over the top unrealistic.....but nice fitment.

Can't wait until I get these.....hopefully in the next two weeks or so (taxes)

^ Looks 2 similar 2 what u already have, both 10 spokes. Get somethin different if you're gonna spend that much.

SubieChik · 01-21-2012, 05:59 PM

I like my stock wheels. The only reason I am getting new wheels is so they are wider and concave. So that is why I'm getting those. To be close to what I have now but exactly what I want. If my stock wheels were wider I'd keep them.

**Dookie** · 01-21-2012, 06:49 PM

SC - What paint & color did you use on your rims? I like that color and thinking about doing mine.

SubieChik · 01-21-2012, 06:59 PM

Duplicolor Wheel Paint - Graphite is the color

**Dookie** · 01-21-2012, 07:19 PM

Excellent, thanks. How has it hold up? Any issues of peeling or flacking?

SubieChik · 01-21-2012, 08:30 PM

Um not really....some problems here and there, but I didn't prep them.....I just cleaned and painted. You should have no problems if you actually do it right and prep them....or at least scuff em up

Now put snow tires on stockers and have dedicated winter setup. Win!

SubieChik · 01-28-2012, 04:24 PM

Yay? Nay?

**Dookie** · 01-28-2012, 05:37 PM

I think it looks good either way. Those look nice.

kagenmateer · 02-02-2012, 09:32 PM
