New wheel choice! Opinions needed 😁

[J0R04N]

Thinking of getting a new set of wheels for my S15 but I'm not quite sure which ones yet?? Have been looking a lot at the Rota's. My budget I will set myself is £1k for the wheels only, then extra for the tyres. Any ideas?? Must suit the standard Aero kit. I will be fitting wider front wings and rolling the rear arches to accommodate a wider size. At the moment there 8J front 9J rear and I have two identical sets both in 17". Was thinking of a 9j front and a 10j rear running wide tyres on both for maximum grip :wack: looking at 18" as I think my 17's look a little lost and I want to add some aggression to the cars appearance

here is how the car is sitting at the moment

You can get quite wide wheels under the std front arches, I've got 18x9.5 ET30 on my fronts (slight roll) with a spacer and I don't have any issues.

As to what to recommend its hard as the choices are endless really. I like the Rota Force as I think they suit the S15, but quite a few guys have them so do you want to follow the crowd?

Yeah that is what I have been looking at, also looked at the Rota GTR D's with a possible custom powder coat to make them work. The only trouble with those is the smallest fitment is 9.5j with a choice of et12, 20 or 35 with the 10j. But I'm unsure if I could get them to work �� I have ordered a carbon bonnet with a single lateral vent as well as the wider front arches so maybe with those I could pull it off???

Wheels are so difficult to choose!! I would go for something Japanese. As for 1k that's a massive budget on today's wheel market!

these are beautiful if you could make them fit. http://www.driftworks.com/forum/whe...t20-front-18x10-et15-rear-rims-5x114-3-a.html

Or these volk TE37's which are one of my favourite wheels ever! http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?547014-Volk-TE37-8-5-9-5x18

Volk TE37SLs or SSR professor sp1's are my fav but well over 2k a set Rota grid drifts are close enough for me

Yeah they are awesome wheels!! What are your views on the rota GTR D's?? Brand new set I can get for around £900

I love rota GTR-D's, would defo have a set in anodised blue!!! im just not sure if you'd get them under stock rear arches??

I really like the XXR's nice and wide rims and not to expensive £580...here are mine fitted 18 x 8.75j front 18 x 9.75j rear ET20 all round.

Well that's interesting! Because those are not far off the GTR D fitments! I was thinking a two tone finish the same as my model 5's at the moment?? Those do look awesome and for that price there a steal!
