Wheels for the R

[iStunt]

I need a little input/advice on wheels. I love these gold XXR 527's, I think they'll look great on the R and they're not spendy but I'm not sold on the multiple bolt pattern. I've talked to a couple guys here and they were suggesting OZ Superleggera's or Superturismo's but they don't have the concave style I like in the XXR's. Does anyone have any suggestions to similar wheels?

XXR 527's

My other question is on offset for the rear. The current Aristo's are 7.5" wide with an ET of 38 and I would like to run a 15mm spacer since that's what I remember running on the 337. It looked good and had no issues rubbing. Now if I get the XXR's they are 8.75" wide(weird I know) and have an ET of 35. With the wider wheel and the same spacer would it push the wheel lip farther out closer to being flush with the fender or pull it in or be the same?

Blue car need blue wheel, I don't know subaru kind of has the blue car/gold wheel market covered.
I vote Superturismo's gt's or Alleggerita HLT

i think the tsw nurburgring wheels look really good on the MK6's

but if i had rising blue on my MK6 i would go with a dark wheel, black or dark silver. unfortunately i have shadow blue so i'll stick with bright silvers.

[Toftii88]

For cheap stuff it's hard to beat the miro 111 on a mk4 imo.

[iStunt]

All those suggestions are nice but it's been done before and I don't like them.

[Fearnside]

Do something creative cam. You are artsy, and think you should do something different than everyone with a R.

[Jack]

These are pretty close to what you wanted minus the color

well the art/graffiti wheel idea has been done. I'll keep looking but it'll be hard to change my mind off the gold. Honestly I havent seen an R with gold wheel in these parts.

[MrScary]

Those Bremmers look good. I am a huge fan of the Miro 111s as well though. I feel like a cool silver/grey color might be best. Just not a huge fan of the gold/blue combo but it is your car.

Jazz Blue 20th. What's your opinion?

[Jigs]

I think these rims look fantastic in gold. I was just trying to find a pic close to what they would look like on your R.

All I see is the multi drilled part.

It's an R32, spend a little more and look for the same style with 5 lug holes. I don't have an opinion on color, style, size, etc.. It's your car. But please don't run multi lugge wheels unless they're covered with a cap

[webcrawlr]

Nope. But you do on almost every WRB WRX and STI.

[iStunt]

Well seems like most vw's are on a different set or style of bbs RS's and they still get attention. I'm so sick of the "mesh" or "Y" style spokes. And what if the color combo is done by a Scooby, gues what it's not a scooby. I'm not out to set a trend or drop jaws/panties. I just want to like the wheels and have it look good. I can't find anything else that appeals to me though I dig a 5 spoke wheel. If you all want to throw out more suggestions then by all means have at it.

Yes they are my first choice but spendy and don't I have to get adapters?

[paulzeee]

I like the idea of a gold/bronze color choice tied with the blue, the contrast is awesomely eye catching. Try the color of the wheels on the BMW from cars and coffee (the picture on your telephono)

[Das VR6]

oooooh gawd. save your money and buy some nice wheels. your R isn’t a rusty EG civic...

Just sayin....

Not a fan of the gold. I like the ones Jack posted, that color is solid!

[Rowland]

my buddy Adam (on here cant remember his name) has a DBP R with gold bbs Rs2's from bloomington. most things have been done just do it differently

that's pretty sweet

[paulzeee]

Sexy, Cam. Now do it.

[John2.0T]

I don't mind those at all. Yeah they have a bit of a Suby look, and that stretch seems a bit silly for an R, but they look nice.

My Automotive OCD can't stand multi-bolt pattern wheels though...

[Dwigz07]

here are the wheels you need, Advan RS!! they have an awesome concave to them and there light as hell!

tried to pick wheels that would work with adaptors, they would all need to be refinished but then you could do any color you want

Sorry Alex those are all :uberbarf: to me. The 3 piece bolts going around the rim look disgusts me. I want lite weight race/track car look like the grids and these xxr's give off. I've been searching and searching for days now and yes I've found designs I like but I'm not droppin $1000+ on wheels alone. I'd like to transfer the 225/40-18 tires I have already into the wheel I decide to go with.

thats cool everyone has their own taste :biggrin:

[IMFASTRU?]

TR MT1's? I'd consider separating my wheels and tires if you're interested.

Oh:D I'm interested.....

Thinking these now but don't know the size this guy is running. Ride height and stance is what I'm looking for.

offset looks a tick high? looks good though!

[iStunt]

It's likely 18x9 et35. I'm afraid it'll touch the strut. I need to find out what his setup is.

[Crispy222]

looks like Falken 512 - 225/40, but I'd push for 235/35 on a 18x9. I'm running 235/40 on 18x9.5.

Chris, I have 225/40 Conti Extreme Contact DWS. Would those be good to stretch? I've been told the sidewalls are soft which would make me think they wouldn't be ideal.

Looks like somebody forgot to tape off their tail lights when they resprayed their car. :P

But seriously, those wheels look great. Do it!

Euro R tails.

yeah, they will work. They just don't pull off the stretched look as to me, they have a bit of a rolled edge to decrease noise. My old falkens FK 452 were much more of a square profile. I'd rather have wide tires with excellent grip, so I went with the Extreme Contact DW 235/40/18 on a 9.5. They look like they mean business with twisties, not hard parking.

[BlazzinR]
