Wheels for a Type R
 
Im looking to get new wheels for my Type R V5! What would you guys get? I've got 2 possibilities but wondering if there are any others that I've overlooked!

My favourites are

17x8 Rota Force in graphite
18x17.5 Revolution Milleniums in anthracite

Any other options?

craigo 09 January 2012 03:56 PM

these are my personal favourites....

but then, mine will be staying totally standard in every way :)

mervil 09 January 2012 04:33 PM

That's what they all say ;)

I love those wheels but require different ones to fit over Brembos :)

They will be going on this ;)

Defo revolution milleniums in anthracite, they look amazing on a white Type R!

mervil 09 January 2012 06:28 PM

those will look fantastic my friend :)
what colour will your new wheels be though?

mervil 09 January 2012 06:44 PM

Dark wheels for sure Ry :)

The only arches I would consider would be the 22b kit ;)

Rota Grid Drift 9.5JX18" ET38 or Rota G-Force(have look on the Maggs car) Merv will look just perfect,for stealth look i would put OE 17" STi wheels

17's and wide would be my choice, maybe some 8.5 x 17s with rolled arches and some BCs to give it that mean look:D

I personally feel the 22B wide body kit is a bit subtle for my liking though,from a distance it still looks standard but each have there prefrence:)

I'm still not sure what colour I will go with the wheels on mine but your's will defo need dark:thumb:

mervil 09 January 2012 07:25 PM

I'm not feeling the wide wheel, rolled arch look! I want it looking OEM-ish but still be able to track it now and then :)

18's spoil the ride completely (there I've said it)

With 18's :(

I totally agree with you mate, I had 17's on my type r and it handled great, put 18's on as needed to upgrade brakes and totally lost its poise and balance imho :thumb:

LEE-WRX 11 January 2012 10:06 AM

Revolution milleniums, 17's, gloss black, will pull the caliper detail out more :)

mervil 11 January 2012 02:52 PM

Will the 17s clear Brembos? If so what offset and width wheel?

Cheers for all the pics, I can get a set of 18 inch Oz P1 wheels but are old :( they are immaculate too!! 17 inch Revolutions if they clear the brakes will be a winner!! :thumb:
