the BK's look awesome, there is one near me with some, depends on other mods i think, if it looks standardish then dont get wheels which are too in your face as they'll stand out too much, but if car is visually modded a lot go for something like the bk's!

Gold looks spot on,on silver classics much better than black/anthracite IMO

Gold dosnt look right on silver classics imho.

Go for some hi power black or anthracite ones. They look the dogs.

Imagine your Type R with the 19" silver Superleggeras! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i had silver wheels on it before and it didnt look right IMO superlegs look smaller than they really are in any size,just an observation

Can you seriously say that those wheels look smaller than 19 inches?

They look MASSIVE!

In the flesh i can yes.My mate has 19s on his sti and mine look the same size yet mine are only 17" maybe its a trick of the eye i dont know but what i do know is that 17" superlegs look more like 16s.Perhaps its because the spokes on the superlegs dont go to the top edge of the rim wheras mine do.Actually who cares LOL you pay your money and take your choice,i still think gold is better suited

I too prefer gold.

In fact I had 19" Gold Superleggeras on my MY03 STi before I sold it.

Have you had your eyes tested recently if you think 19's look like 17's?

Ive compared my wheels to oz prodrive P1 wheels on 17" and mine made them look very small and i was sober lol.It all depends on the stying of the wheel,any wheel that has spokes that extend to the outer edge of the wheel will always look bigger than those wheels that dont,sorry but thats the way it is

hi mate this silver classic with the oz wheels can you tell me if they are 19 inch.if they are do you know where I can find out more info about it like how easy they are to fit and what width are they and does it rub the bodywork cheers for any help

This car belongs to Scoty.

Why not pm him for some advice?

mrklaw

Maybe they do look bigger, size for size, but a lot is down to simple taste. I don't like spokes that go right to the edge - I want a properly defined rim (ooer!). Clearly your opinion is different. Good

19's on a classic isn't a problem unless you go along scoty's route by fitting 19/8's as all OZ's are in 19 inch. scoobytc, your wheels may well look bigger the super leg's as your spokes go right to the edge of the rim, in other words, it's a trick of the eye. my 19's look bigger than scoty's when sat next to each other, but this is only because of what i've just explained. but they do look better than gold on his

Scoty

Thanks very much Talizman, you still got that sweet RB5?

Have to agree, no way any 17 inch could look the same size as 19 inch supers, specialy if the car with the 19's is lowered, possibly 18's if the spoke went right to the edge, but I've yet to see a set of 18's that look 19's.
Don't realy want to say too much about different colours of wheels, all I can say is I only like black, white or silver/grey cars and silver alloys

19/8 fit on a classic no problem, but you will run into problems if you lower it; nothing that can't be fixed though, just needs a bit of arch work to stop any rubbing, which is cheap enough to get done.

Sure have mate.

Scoty

Chris, arospeeds have had a lot of returns because of the rim corroding after only a month or so from new, not sure exactly what line of wheels it was but defo worth looking into (unless it's been fixed?)

I've owned Radius 3's, Team Dynamic Diablo's, Team Dynamics K2's and OZ Supperleggeras, all have been fine apart from the laquer comming off some because of strong acid wheel cleaner.

8 x 18 inch Compomotive MO's (6 spoke) suite the classic very well so do the wheels Talizman's got on his RB5, can't get any nicer IMHO.

skylinegtr

thanks guys!even more options to consider now! .but i have to say i like the black.regarding 19"s do these not affect the handling?i was thinking 17s,maybe 18s at a push.anybody rate arospeed crazy 8s?i agree with different designs of wheels looking like different sizes,thats why i cannot decide on 17 or 18s.on some imprezas certain 17s look big enough,while others dont.

chris

Scoty

Yes, it handle's even better

I wanted to refurb my P1 alloys, but couldnt decide on Silver or Anthracite.

So I went for Black Chrome

I hope Pele dont mind me using her pic of my car
