Rota P1? Tarmac maybe? Either way, simple and elegant is the way to go. Plus I really like the split spoke look.

I kind of threw this question in to a previous post but it wasn't very obvious:

if stock is 53.5 mm and 7" wide, would something with 48 mm and 8" wide work? Would (225 or even 235/40/18s be better then 215/45 for an 8" wide wheel?

I dinno, but i've seen several sites proclaiming that a 45mm offset on an 8" would work.

215/45 will NOT work on 8" wide wheel. 7.5" is the biggest you can go.

However, 225/45 will work on an 8" wheel. But then you're getting into rubbing territory. 225/40 appears to be the safe bet if you want to go wider.

For offsets, +48 or +45 should work fine. My summers are stock tires on 18x7.5 with +45 offset.

Other rims...





I like these too. The idea of a red MS3 with black and a touch of red on the wheels would be killer.





Or they have a gunmetal version...

Srsly why did someone have to make a cool wheel and put their crappy name on it:

The wheels on my 6 were Speedy Lite 8 and they came with the name like that but it was a sticker I promptly removed. So I can vouch for Speedy as a solid wheel manufacturer and they were pretty lightweight. I also got them from wheelsnext who provided solid service.

You can always ask someone if it's a sticker. I'd recommend talking to someone on the phone for ordering anyway.

Cool. With a name like speedy wheels I'd be afraid to give out my cc info, lol. If there's no sticker the price is awesome...

Gold would look SICK on a red car. Pop like a mofo. Just make sure you have a bright gold. A darker color would make it look like your wheels were dirty all the time with as bright as your car is.

yeah, you would need straight-up gold. but I think that could definitely look hot. Have fun keeping those suckers clean though... lol

Tom wants black so i'll be ok! I think these with some Cobb springs for a 1" drop and I'll be set.

Those gold ultras would be some hot shit. I need a bit of a drop too. I'm thinking 0.5" and I'll be sitting right where I want to be.

I think that's what I have to do. Everyone has black wheels or silver, I want gold. Boom, done.
