What color is your car? I've got Torques in Gunmetallic. It's very black with some silver fleck in it. And after using their touch up kit, you can hardly tell how many rock chips are in them.

Sorry, I thought it was in my profile, Its OBP.

You've probably heard it though (even from Germania) :P

I am going to hijack my own thread but anybody know of a place to get tires shaved here in Reno? I am going to need to have that one new Kumho cut down a bit. I read that the tolerance for a Subaru is usually 2/32 in. difference and I will right at or just past that mark and I would rather be safe than sorry...

cody 2008-03-04 04:30 PM

It matters less if you run it in the front, but there is a place that Dean recommends all the time.

WRX06TR 2008-03-05 11:31 PM

So Dean, where do you recommend?

Dean 2008-03-06 09:19 AM

Do a search.... I think it is Sunshine in Sparks. The retread place I liked is done.

dknv 2008-03-06 09:41 AM

Let us know if you get it done there -- because I had heard they were not shaving tires anymore.

WRX06TR 2008-03-13 12:31 PM

Well...since I am incredibly indecisive I am not going to get any of the afore mentioned wheels :lol: .
Instead, after checking prices, I found something in my price range. Actually I plan on ordering them later tonight or tomorrow...just wondering, do I need to get hubcentric rings or new lugs?

I love FN01-RC wheels. Good choice.

You will need new lugs. Hubcentric rings are not a 100% necessity, but it might be nice to get them (if the wheels require them, I really don't know).

cody 2008-03-13 12:39 PM

Uh, I aforementioned them.

And if you order them from Edge Racing, they'll come with the rings if they're required (I bet they are) and probably lugs too, but check with them to be sure. Those are a freakin' steal at $150 each and ($60 for Ground shipping 4).

Dean 2008-03-13 12:45 PM

The correct rings should be included with any wheel purchase if the center bore is not already correct like say on many if not all Rotas...

Lugs are likely required due to clearance. Don't get raped though. Summit and eBay have them at reasonable prices. you want either spline driver or smaller than stock hex. I lean toward the later as you can use standard tools on them.

The cheapo cylindrical "Tuner" lugs that use a star or square drive on the end are BAD!

Shit, get them mounted with RT-615's (225/45R17) and they're $1120 shipped.

WRX06TR 2008-03-13 02:23 PM

Thanks guys...Cody why did you quote yourself? :lol: All I need now are lugs and that one Kumho, sweet!

cody 2008-03-13 03:06 PM

I talk to myself a lot apparently. :roll: :P

100_Percent_Juice 2008-03-13 04:47 PM

Mine have the rings. I assume they come with them.

WRX06TR 2008-03-13 05:10 PM

Good?

I also would not suggest locking lugs unless you really want the extra pain. Anybody stealing wheels will have the right tools to get past any type of wheel lock.

I have a set of open ends, but they would be ugly for a street car.

WRX06TR 2008-03-19 12:03 PM
