Hey everyone,
I know a lot are gonna say no to 18s but check this out first. A company here that does alarms called Autostart needs a few cars to represent them. My friend who is in charge of a lot of car shows here told them about mine. Well, for their booth at shows they want my car to have their stickers, there alarms etc...but they also want to buy 18" rims for my car. I have stock rims right now because once in awhile I take it to the track, nothing to serious but hey, if someone is willing to give me free stuff for my car I'll take it.
Any ideas of good 18" that would look good on a Yellow R? I was thinking of the Volk Racing TE-37. Check this link for the picture of it if you've never seen it. http://www.ipsracing.com/rims/rims/volk_te337.html
Anyways, hope you guys can help. Thanks.

 

personally if you have to go 18" go all out and get some volk gt-cs if they make them with the right offset

 

I remember SSR competions...I think 18x7 is only some 17lbs...same as JDM 16".
Forged...so not bad for streets neither.

 

Their 17's but they are still big.

well i was gonna jump your case about puttin some heavy *** 18's on your car but i guess if comeone offered me free stuff i would take it too, make sure they get you something light otherwise those 18's could take a bit of pep out of your ride, also see if they will spring for some lightweight 15's or 16's and tell them you will show off on the racing scene as well

 

Just say you want 16's or 17's, 18'sverkill even in the looks department...
Just MHO...

Sounds like they're playing a joke on you.

 

18's are overkill. Drive around with normal wheels & tires, and slap the 18's on for the show.

I can’t believe I just said "slap 18's on for the show” and it wasn’t a wise crack. Geezz, what is the world coming too?

 

i think on an ITR 17's would look da best fer show

 

Nope, it's no joke. I thought first but it was during a meeting that I attended just for the hell of it. I'm going to their office with my friend that deals with them after this weekend to talk over the contract. My friend's are good business men and that's how they got this for me. I think 18 are a bit big but hey, it's free. As long as they're not heavy and not chrome. But I'm gonna try to push some Mugens or Spoons but I doubt it cause my friend said they want 18s for when the car is in the show.
Anyways, thanks again everyone for the advice.

 

No money or free stuff could make me putting 18`` on an awsome PY ITR...MO

 

hey..den more power to ya...you take em off when ya not at a show anyways..so go for it...i say get the T3-e7k's , those are sweet..

 

An 18" tire is like a +3 conversion. Your tire will be like a 30 aspect ratio - not safe! (unless you like buying replacements for bent rims). Get 17"s instead.
