aw man i love stepped lips!

o man and theres a mesh invasion on sf.org!

Duderotomy · 02-21-2012, 06:22 PM

yes there is...

Tuned200 · 02-22-2012, 04:14 AM

Things is getting crazy on here. The common trend I hear from my friends locally is in order to pull off a lip and mesh type wheels you have to be low and have almost no fender gap.

^well I'm not going to that extent yet...

FXTSPORTS08 · 02-22-2012, 05:13 AM

While not as aggressive as some of you guys are running, I decided to make the jump to 18's and probably lower my car a bit more. I am picking up a set of these this weekend:

Tuned200 · 02-22-2012, 05:15 AM

Those look great, Mike!

Tuned200 · 02-22-2012, 05:16 AM

Can't wait to see what these look like on the car! 9.5 is quite wide!

Those OEM STi wheels I am getting are only 8.5 but I am going to be running a 255 tire on them.

If we were to ever go back to a 8.5 wheel the OEM STI wheels would be my choice. This is the 2nd set of 9.5's we have ran. I think the Hankook RS3's are wider than the Dunlop SpSport 600's even though both are the same size (245/40/18).

After we finally do a trans swap we will look into fitting 265-275 tires.

i guess ill put up a teaser too.. :)

ive got mesh fever too

Duderotomy · 02-22-2012, 10:12 AM

If I didn't have these stupid WRX brakes to clear, I'd probably have a similar photo already... but I ended up having to search harder for wheels that will clear my brakes without needing 20mm spacers.

Tuned200 · 02-22-2012, 10:17 AM

Those gotta be BBS wheels....I think.

Duderotomy · 02-22-2012, 10:31 AM

or at least a replica.

RE3Rotor · 02-22-2012, 10:35 AM

This thread makes me want to show off this picture again. My plan is to get some wider barrels to make them 16x9...

How is the bumper splice coming along?
