Wheels: Give Me Feedbacks, Please

Pretender · 04-04-2006, 06:12 PM

Between these two, which one should I order:

Pretender · 04-04-2006, 06:18 PM

BTW, both have 8.5"R/9.5"R. I like the ASA offsets more 40mm front/20mm rear (very aggressive huh?) while the RPM has 38mm F/30mm R. What is your recommendation?

Mark Chen · 04-04-2006, 07:26 PM

WOW!!
ET 20 rear
I think it has rubbing issue
but it looks beautiful

Pretender · 04-04-2006, 08:25 PM

According to the calculations:
For this 19 x 9.5", 20mm: 5mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 33mm.
The guys named Marcus has Maya: 19 x 9.5", 23mm: 14mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 36mm.
He had sport pkg and Eibach prokit drop and no rubbing issue.

Pretender · 04-04-2006, 08:27 PM

actuall, he had 19 x 10, 23mm.

karbosshack · 04-04-2006, 08:38 PM

They look EXACTLY the same.

ctgazer · 04-04-2006, 08:40 PM

yes, both wheels look the same. maybe larger pics of both? and marcus DID have to roll his fenders.

Pretender · 04-04-2006, 09:09 PM

Well, I may go with the 2nd set, RPM cuz I want to drop it later. Now, I don't think we have problem with the first one since mine has stock susp.

they're both knock offs of the BBS design

Yes, he did afterward, but it didn't rub at all. BTW, this guy has the same wheels spec. as the ASA above and it makes me change my mind to the ASA. I may not need to drop it at all for now. All set....

Of course, they're different. I was talking about the rear wheel spec. which will not rub for 19 x 9.5", 20mm offset.

make sure that you get the same tire specs also as marcus then, as some sidewalls are straighter than others. toyo t1-r's for example have more of a slanted sidewall than others.

Get the 20mm rear or you are going to need a spacer. I have 20mm rear and 38mm front. They are about perfect. I am dropping it this weekend.

No, Marcus had 19 x 10" wide wheels +23. You're right about the Eibach prokit drop, but his car did not have the sport package. He purchased style 162 wheels after the car purchase. He did have a slight rubbing issue, but rolled in the rear fenders ever so slightly, which allowed the tires to clear.

mds82 · 04-05-2006, 10:31 AM

I dont like the ASA's they look smaller because there is so much more metal around the lip

My thread

Yes, I put the link to your post in my previous post. That made me change decision to ASA 40mm/20mm. I ordered them already. Thanks. BTW, your car already looks very nice without dropping.
