^ Dude, Chris is the offset king. All he cares about is dumped with extreme offset. That's not a bad thing, but if that's not what you're looking for, that's ok too. Don't worry about him. lol

Definition of a "perfect" look is subjective.

What is practical for your uses?

I don't think that you want to ruin your car's look with beaner wheel fitment.

who said anything about beaner fitment?

I was just giving him the facts...

what he wants and wha he's willing to do are two different things.

u can have an aggressive fitment on a sti without looking "beaner" just like u can have aggressive fitment on a vr4 without looking beaner..some just choose not to and it ruins the "look" just the same.

Tenzo makes some black rims with a red lip. DC-5s don't look that bad, but that depends what color car you are putting them on.

you are absolutely right jay.

As far as uses..it will be a daily driven car.It will see the track,it MIGHT see a road race event(but i will put the stockers back on),and it will be more of a street/show power car.

I hate to give away my plan/idea..but ohh well..Shit I dont even have the car yet.And apparently its tough to find black MY05's in VA.On autotrader all I see is blue and silver ones..yuck :


All black car,black wheels with a anodized somewhat "Deep" lip. I mean its a pretty straightfoward look,and at first I wanted to do black on black.But then I saw my NCO's GSXR 1000,and it was black/grey,black wheels w/ a red lip.I thought the red lip set it off so well,that I wanted to "copy" the idea.
