Yeah, but you're a Subaru guy. All Subaru guys like blue cars on gold wheels :icon17:

Seriously though, not generally a huge fan of that look. I'm that guy that wants to put silver RPF1's on every single car I own.

I have been looking on the Hyundai Gen coupe sites, and XXR is really big for them. A ton of them are running them, so dont see why they are bad wheels thats for sure. I am still laughing at the different color shoes comment, thats a good one.

Looks great! It's different :tup: and welcome to the bold club ;)

TongMan 03-02-2011 02:40 AM

Thanks for all the comments, good or bad. Now I would like responses from those who dislike the different colors. Why do you dislike it? I can take criticism as long as they are constructive.

kenchan 03-02-2011 12:28 PM

tongman - for me, a car is pretty symetrical on the outside so i like to have the same parts on both sides of the car. that's all. now if i was racing and had sponsor decals to match or using staggered setup for oval or something i dont mind at all as it's for a purpose none other than $$$ or function.

IMO, it makes the car look cheap. The 2-color scheme is something I usually see on cars belonging to high-schoolers. I'll give you props for having the guts to rock it, but it's not something I would consider.


Plus the typical line about heavy knockoffs, but I'll spare you....

I want a Z 03-02-2011 03:03 PM

can't stand the gold - i would of gone all black
also i don't get the different colored wheels, just not feeling it.

If you really are set on 2 different color wheels, i would of made the front a set and the back the same color set
different colors on each side makes no sense at all, difficult to see both at the same time.
I just fail to understand the reasoning

i think that was the reasoning.... enjoy 2 cars with one car. :D

i would just hit both wheels with some matte-black wheel paint and be over with. :)

If you don't mind me asking, can you PM the price you paid and where you got the wheels?

kenchan 03-14-2011 06:32 PM

I think he got em from Discount Tire, Custom Wheels, Truck & Car Rims | Discount Tire and like 175 a pop.

TongMan 03-14-2011 06:51 PM

I ordered my set from here:

Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels, all name brands, and a huge inventory. In most cases, shipping is one to two days guaranteed.

The prices went up since I bought my set.

gaveup 03-15-2011 04:09 AM

I know this is asking a lot, but can you take a pic of how flush it sits offset wise?
Also, any problems swapping the TPMS over?

I dont see 5/114.3 on there :(

TongMan 03-15-2011 04:22 AM

5x114.3 = 5x4.5

Thanks man. Wish they made an 18x10, looks like I'd have to get it in a 19 :\

BTW - I've had the color idea that you have for a while. I don't see how anyone can talk badly about it. You only view one side at a time.

TongMan 03-15-2011 08:27 PM

Thanks gaveup.

Offtopic: Did you know that the two pics I posted up above are the exact same dimensions, just that one is horizontal and the other is vertical?

alb84z31t 03-15-2011 08:51 PM

I personally think the gold look better than the black. It just helps it stand out. The black look too plain to me. That being said I would not do what you did, but who cares? It's your car do what you like! Everyone else can suck it.

God, I could have gotten 18 rims for the price I paid for 4 advans, lolol

Nismo221 03-16-2011 02:20 AM

switch your front wheels lol. Then you would have a black and gold on both sides. That would be really aganist the grain!

:ughdance:

ZeeingAround 03-16-2011 07:59 AM

I would suggest red and white wheels. have fun whatever you do. Life is too short.

actually there are... TSW Nurbs, Enkei RPF1, Weds SA55M, etc.

i run the weds on my car. was only like $3200 or something with tires from tirerack. cheap and well made.

JollyGoodChap 03-17-2011 03:31 PM

That's out of control.

Cheap as in basically 10% of the cost of your car?

I need a word that is more extreme than hideous. Herrafrush alone is hideous.

Isamu 03-22-2011 01:58 PM

I kinda dig the OPs style.. I had a buddy in Tucson who had a blue s13 with F/R different colors..

is that not cheap for new wheels AND tires? :ugh2:

karotZ 03-22-2011 11:45 PM

OP, that is slick and kudos to you, you got balls man. What I would do though is vinyl half of the car to complete the half experience since it already has the track look.

Push370zzz 03-23-2011 01:01 AM

I guess props for trying something new....not my style
