Default Hey good Folks, first time post for me...

Hey good people, I need new wheels for my 95 GS-R Green 4 Door Sedan. I've got 17" wheels on em now, so I guess I'll stay with the 17's.

I don't want to speed too much money on the wheels, as this is my daily diver. I save the WRX for the weekends.

Here are a few wheels in my price range; Enkei's RS-5, CDR-9, RS-5, Konig's; Absolute, Prophet, Kaliber, ATS's Competition and has anyone ever heard of Nakayam's Speed 6? :eh:

Oh, by the way, I did try search and didn't find much in the way of wheels. Thanx in advance for your input...

Peace Out

TQ

Kilpatty and Kfar, thank you both for your input. Kilpatty, the Konig's Absolutes are in the runningas as are the Enkei's RS-5. I can get the Enkei's for a very low price installed, and that makes me lean toward them a bit more, though I'd really like some Vox's!

Kfar, this GS-R maybe an old 95, but, it was a gift from my brother who has too many cars so he turned me on to this one. It only has 50,000 miles on it and is very clean in and out. The GS-R came with Adler Racins wheels on it.

I'd keep them on there, but I was just informed when I had some new tires replaced that two of the wheels are badly warped and that's why the new wheels and that's also why I'd like to keep the price down as much as possible.

By the way the WRX is fine the way it is for now, I'm not planning on any more mods in the near future. In the mean time I'm going to get this sweet GS-R as mint as I can. Once again, thanx for all your input thus far...

Peace Out

TQ

hey elfstone you are looking for a good looking cheap rims. I'd go with ROTA, look in to them. I just posted a picture of mine in the post about (is it worth droping my car).

Rota is a decent rim company for the money. I would also look to get 16's since I think 17's on a teg are a little too big.

What mods do you have to the WRX? We installed a turbo timer, TurboXS turbo back exhaust and uppipe to my buddies 04. Let me tell you that getting to that uppipe was a PITA.

I would keep your GSR as stock as possible since it is a daily driver...maybe put a subtle body kit on it and lower it a little with some H&R OE Sport springs.

Oh and welcome to HAN :wave:

Enkei RS-5's in 17" look dope. The thin spokes and the open-face design looks really sweet on the bigger rim sizes. My buddy's got those in 15", which doesn't look as cool but is still pretty nice. I think 16" sizes are a better compromise on ride & handling, but the 17" looks uber-sweet.

Edit -- Welcome to HAN! Avoid Alteezas, aluminum wings, and fiberglass bodykits and you'll fit right in. :thumbup:
