Default P45R or Torue for me S14

Mr.Indecisive is in need of help. Most of the time i can make up my mind quick , but when i comes with cosmetic related stuff it gets hard...real hard...

I'd appreciate if all rota hating comments be kept to themselves. Cheap wheels, look good and does not cost arm and leg if it gets bent. Which is just a matter of time around here.

Pluses and Minuses for each.

Torque:
(-) not available in 17x9.5 which is what i wanted in the back
(-) will require extra 70 to spend on 5mm spacer up front to clear Stance's
(-) hate spacers

(+) take them center caps out and i gots me some work emos
(+) look better i THINK
(+) 40$ cheaper

P45R
(-) not available in all black...damn gay red stripe. who the fuck came up with that shit anyway
(-) not quite as sexy

(+) available in Silver
(+) i can do 9" 25mm F and 9.5 30mm R
(+) yay no spacers
(+) will look better in the back (assuming no spacer is used on emos...ehm...torque)

Crappy pic but you get the idea. Going on this:



Here are some sample pics of 17x9 30mm Torque on wrx






17x9.5 30mm on wrx



I know rear are 9.5 30mm front not so sure

I have the same color Torques on my WRX, but in 18s instead.

Either wheel would look fine, but I'd go with the P45s for your car. 17s are too small though.

Yes








And Alex a 17X9.5 +15 is NOT aggressive on a S14, it is barely flush. Run some 235/40s all around and all you will need to do is roll your fenders. You could probably get away with a 245/40 out back if you wanted.


This looks better then both of those rotas:

Exactly my first thought when I saw that. Don't be a poser trying to be cool.


IMO I'd go with the Torque's, red stripe isn't too bad.

If you're dead set on a CR-Kai knock off then at least buy these 17X9 +17 ones

Dirt cheap.

I don't want to go 18 because car needs to be slammed in order for them to look good. At which point i will have to remove my fender liners and correct for changed roll center. With an average 2" drop they look too big.

How dare you even imply such a thing!!! I meant 40$ cheaper total. Torques are 700 , P's are 740. I ought to smack you right through the monitor

I like where you are going with this Steven, but i want to fit at least 245/40s up front without having to drop my camber to -3.

CR-Kai knock off don't appear to be concave enough. MBs look nice but they remind me too much of Konig Trantums and just look too plain.

.

Here is what i am going by. Those are my VSXX's 18x9 26mm. with a 225 tire. That is exactly how much flushness i want on my car. Not to mention 245's will just barely fit.
I dont run possitive camber as it may appear from the pics but you get the point.
