Alright y'all I wanted a change so I sold the STi rims. Im down to three choices. Wanted to get your opinion.

First we have Gunmetal Work Emotions CR KAI

Next Gram Lites 57S in Bronze or Grey

Last are the Wedsport TC005 in grey

Im leaning towards the Wedsports since I haven't seen them on any car over here. Let me know what you guys think.

And those who don't know me, I have a 04 WRB Wagon.

I'd go with either the Gram Lights or the Wedsports

I'd go with the lightest, smallest, widest wheel that will fit over the biggest brakes you're going to run. It's not worth it to buy wheels just to get rid of them (at a loss) because you wind up upgrading your brakes later. Just me.

I never understand why some people set up wireless networks and don't secure them, but I appreciate the free bandwidth.

^^^Brakes already upgraded, racing wheels already taken care of, I just want some wheels to roll around town on. Awesome advice though.

Don't worry my car is a track **** and all your suggestions were already taken into advisment.

Then I'd still go with something light to reduce rotational weight. Also, most don't realize the tire weight difference between 16, 17, 18 inch etc tires. I wont ever go past a 17 on the Subaru as my 17 X 8.5 lets me run a fairly wide tire. I run 16 X 7.5 on the street with 310/320 mm rotors and 318s ready to replace the 310s. I'm kinda picky about rotational weight, even run the Rays lug nuts. If I feel I need more brakes I'm ditching the 16s and running a set of STI BBS wheels I picked up for street wheels and going to a 332mm front rotor. I don't know the weights of those individual wheels, but I believe the Gram Lites are fairly light. Any of your choices look fine for the street imho. If you're after unique, it would have to be the Wedsports, which I like over bronze anything on WRB. The only car I kinda like bronze/gold on is the black java STI with the gold flakes in the paint. I'm running black (car) on black (wheels/lugs) on the street and really like it.

Cool thanks, I think the Wedsports are actually the lightest. And unfortunately with the wagon I am very limited on how wide of tire I can run. Thanks for the advice, you always kick the knowledge.

Have you seen the new gram light 57 Maximum? I like 'em. Othere wise I've always been a fan of Work.

The Gram Lights 57s are close to looking like my SSR Competitions. The Gram Lights Maximum are nearly the same as my SSRs. The 57s are 5-spoke and the Maximums are 6-spoke. I like the KAI split-spoke design as well. The Wedsports are split-spoke on a different tangent. Like I said, if you really value unique, they are. I prefer the Gram Lights (either 57s or Maximums) and KAIs over the Wedsports, but that's just my "oldman" opinion. I'll give up some style for function, so if the Wedsports are significantly lighter/wider/stronger, I'd have to evaluate how much difference there was. It really comes down to your personal preference (and how deep your pockets are).

Wedsports would be my choice.


Also, you should put a poll on the thread. ....

#1 or #2...though #1 is what my Rota Torques were probably modeled after.
