advan rg . will never go out of fashion. 3 sets on tm atm too .

or set a new trend and get some AME tracers

been out for a while but still pretty rare in nz and fkn sick . not bed price either

[slystiguy]

they look similar to new sti wheels?

[familyman]

Those Tracers are hawt!

Out of your choices above, I would go the Gram Light 57 in dayglo green if your car is black, or neon orange if any other colour.

orange and green and monster energy in general was cool for about a month at the end of 2010 .

have to agree with familyman, we have had many disscusions about this and it would for some cars, not all but can work well with the right colours

Thanks for the opinions.lol green and orange are pretty out there but im sure theyd look nice maybe youd like the 18" chromes its on at the moment too,but im sort of going for a stealth race look so either a alloy,bronze or gunmetal colour..i guess when it comes to wheels the higher the price the better style look you get. Gram light 57s go for about $900-1100 a set including tyres where as work xd9 are $2000+

[LORNA]

Buy these

Can\'t go past CE28N\'s... pretty rare second hand (especially in 18") though and cost a bomb new.

pretty cheap for gram lights had some 18x9 Work Xt7s priced at 3k landed most other places were a couple hundred more so that Xd9 price is pretty good to, you must have a great hook up there!

If your going light weight, money no option the TE37 C1 thats pretty light for a 19inch rim, would be even better at 18 or 17 inch

These are even lighter from weds

but either way any Weds,Work, Advan or Rays rim would look sick dude

[FrostySG9]

Prodrive GC06H, I have them on my 05 STi Forester and look nice, I\'d post a pic of them if I could figure out how, wheel choice isn\'t easy with so many to choose from now days

[D-Style]

Nascar D-slots in matt black!!! be really....umm..different....

Only thing with alot of those sexy JDM wheels, the Subaru width and Offset doesnt make them look as nice. you going to have toplay with the width/offset to get that nice disc look

I had Prodrive (RAYS) GC010G\'s 18x8.5 on my V9, added some blue RAYS wheel nuts and really set them off.

rota torque would look boss. cant beat the almighty DTM GT37\'s rims in white or custom colour or a set of these http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=548836351 if your keen on pumping them guards to make them fit and have the coin for it. Personally I\'d go with rota grids as you dont see much STI coupes with grids. Ive seen one but hes got different wheels now so nows your chance. lol

should come to auckland grids on everything around here and a few coupes to boot, theres one with 9s on it down the road from me looks insane not sure how practical it is though

[sti555]

hey what are these wheels called,could someone help me out im after a set

sick wheels

[Guest]

Arent they mx-r\'s?

[STR8RIDAH]

dont think they are rota mxr\'s they arnt as deep

[slystiguy]

I like those XXR 527

[johnny5]

Xxr 527 +20 harder to get than ya think and a bastard to fit considering the new laws with camber and all that jazz

[stira]

Get something from a similar age as the car, they always suit the best in my opinion.

[Simon C]

I\'ve always liked SSR Type C. They also happen to be one of the lightest rims available.

I think im gonna get some of these, they used to run them on the 22b WRC\'s as tarmac rims

Millenium Revolutions, you can get them for $270 per rim brand new on trade me, proper track rims so alot harder to crack than regular road mags

18x8 +50

[stira]

They are awesome, would love a set but there would be a lot of stuffing about with fitment wouldn\'t there? rolling guards etc?

[johnny5]

+50 should be sweet

[Stoffa]

you can get them in 18x7.5 as well I believe

If ya lookin for these on tm wouldnt they be cheaper just going straight to Palmside (www.palmside.co.nz) rather than on tm? I would expect them to be costlier on tm cos they have to pay sucess fees as well?
