ok guys, i own an 03 GPW n bout to pick up some rims pretty damn soon n most likely they are going to be Prof. SP1's in 17's. Just curious what rim woudl you buy if you had this color s2k?

Advan RG's?
Prof. SP1's?
TE's?
Mugen's?
etc. etc. etc.

 

I'd stick with OEM, IMHO.

 

spoon sw388 all buisness no bling

 

Advan RG's in GOLD and i'd lower the car a tad.. no dumping, just a tastefull lowering removing most of the wheel well gap.

i'd be a bit worried about the offsets though. the offsets are a tad too aggressive when lowering substantially and may rub but can be remedied if you roll the rear fenders.

what about the prodrive gc07c's? theyre forged and pretty lightweight. here's asm's version of the prodrives.

 

can you please define aggresive offsets? i dont have too much knowledge in the offset field. Thanks. btw, the sp1's i mght pick up are being put on hold in my brain because the offset is 49F 55 R n someoen on this board told me taht those offsets will rub with a 225/255 tire setup on the car, n i am looking to lower the car on RA"s to the point of no tire/fender gap or maybe a fingers gap. if those offsets are bad, waht do you rec. i do?

 

+49 for the front is fine as long as you dont go over 7.5" width on a 17" wheel. you may be able to get away with running a set of 215 or 205's on the front's if youre running a 8" +49 offset on the front.

as for the rear, 255's is hit or miss on a +55 rear as long as the rim width is at 8.5". on a 9" or above wheel, you should be looking for something in the mid 60's or higher.

i'm currently running the following:
F: 225 45 17 on a 17x7.5 +48
R: 245 40 17 on a 17x8.5 +54

dependant upon tire brand, my fronts may rub when totally compressed - but nothing serious. as for the rear though, i originally purchased a set of 255 40 17's and rubbed like a horny teenager when driving aggressively so i downsized to a 245 40 17 and havent rubbed since.

besides the offsets, we'll need to know what the rim width is in order to tell if you can do it or not.

you should also post this in the wheel forum too.. you may get more responses there.

 

thanks a lot, i didn't find the wheel forum I prob. just missed it. As far as what you said, honestly, that was better said then all the years i have been trying to learn this shit! thanks a lot bro! According to your help, I am pretty sure my offsets will be a problem due to the fact that i am going to be running 8 and 9.5 because they said they can't get a diff. size in those. Any advice or help on other locations/stores that might carry what i am looking for at a good price? these SP1's if i follow through with it are 1600...and 1670 shipped.
