You would have to go to some low dust ceramic pads to stand a chance with them at white .. And my cars white, but I don't think it would look to bad with it.. Anybody good with photoshop?

 

I hadn't considered that because I really just wanted to get some new ones and put 18's all the way around - which is what started me off on this whole dang adventure, lol.

 

I looked at some XFires on google pics with white rims, I'll see if I can find them again....

 

White on white

 

Funny observation in those two pics I attached.

Pic 1 - white wheels, white grill, silver fins.

Pic 2 - white wheels, silver grill, white fins.

LOL

Maybe they shoulda compared notes before doing that...

I would white it all out if I went all white wheels.

 

The stock wheels actually look pretty nice in white

 

I think so as well....hmmmmm...dilemma dilemma....LOL

 

And, the stock 18s from the front should fit on the back pretty easily if I'm not mistaken

 

Yeah but how wide of a rear tire could I get on a 18x7.5?

 

p.s. if it were me going with 18s all around I would be rocking some Enkeis

 

Pics? Please. Thank you!

p.s. Where are my clear side markers? I checked the mail today - nothing?!?! Just kidding.

 

Enkei Wheels - Tuning Series - Raijin

p.s. side markers are coming from the Netherlands so you have some wait time ahead of you

 

I like those, nice. Look even better painted white, lol. They look pretty similar to some I've got on my eBay watch list - but these are 45. BUT now that you've so graciously and wonderfully found me someone to put spacers on - I can actually think about buying these. I think they're smoking hot. I am torn between these and another set of black and whites. But then again, after seeing an all white on the XFire...I don't know...choices choices...

By the way, ANY idea who the manufacturer is of these wheels? I called the seller this afternoon and asked about getting them in an ET 35mm but forgot to ask him who made them. I want to look them up and see if I can find them on another site or something.

These wheels are HRE copies. They likely come from China where laws don't protect against design patents. That being said the wheels could be from any of the dozens of manufacturers there. My experience with replica wheels is don't expect a lot from them...They should hold up to normal driving conditions; but avoid pot-holes at all cost.

 

Thanks, MetalMilitiaSRT, I appreciate the feedback. So who do you guys trust and recommend for aftermarket wheels?

Thanks again

 

It the manufacturer is not listed, I'd be weary. Not everybody likes or can afford the likes of BBS, HRE, OZ, etc... I would at least go with a company that has some history. Someone mentioned Enkei earlier, they are a respectable company who, in addition to making loads of aftermarket wheels, supplies (or supplied) wheels to various car manufacturers. Check out some of their stuff, most of their fitments are for Japanese cars but surely they've got 5-112 stuff.

These'll fit...may be a bit out of your desired price range though...

 

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I don't really have a certain price range, just reasonable. I really wanted some white ones and they are hard to find in an 18" wheel. I even thought about just buying some others and having them painted white, but that would def impact my price range because I would have to factor in the additional cost.

 

Enkei ftw.....

 

LOL rayth!!! I am looking at some Enkei's right now!
