Wheel Ideas
Although I know how awesome steelies are, I need some new wheels for my EM2. It's dropped around 2 inches on lowering springs so if anybody has one about the same let me see what yours looks like with whatever size wheels you have, nothing over 17s.

Re: Wheel Ideas
Well, it's a black car, so I suggest White or Bronze wheels.
The style is pretty much up to you. If you want good wheels that are cheap, look at some Rotas or Motegis and find a style you like.

I'm not super helpful because I just chose my wheels randomly and not very many people like them, haha

Re: Wheel Ideas
I have 17" Rota Grids on mine, lowered about 1.5 inch.

17 or 18" is perfect, any larger/smaller looks weird.

Another way to go, to save money, is to have your steelies powdercoated.

Re: Wheel Ideas
Rota's are good wheels for the price. Here are my HFP 16's. I want to go with a smaller profile tire. I think it will look nicer but I don't want to scuff up the wheels.

Haha, I can't do that. I saw you eye balling them when that guy was selling them on here. I was going to make them my winter wheels, but they might just stay on all year long.

Re: Wheel Ideas


16x7 +40 white Rota Grids wrapped in 205/50/16. My car's dropped on GCs so it should be somewhat close to your current height.

They'll be candy teal this coming spring, though.

Re: Wheel Ideas
That looks nice pheet!!! The silver with the white wheels looks good! I really need to paint my door handles and mirrors. It looks so much better when it's all one color!
