Are Arospeed wheels considered rice?
 
I saw some on a WRX and they looked pretty good RSGT's or something. Looked to be 18"ers. Are these considered crappy rims?

khail19 2005-02-03 02:40 PM

I like a few of the Arospeed rims, especially the RS-GT. I think the offsets are kind of low (45mm if I remember), but they'll still fit decent on a sedan. Might be close on a wagon though.

What do they look like?

Don't be racist, K-thanks. 8)

Those wheels would make your brakes look like beer coasters. :lol: I personally would consider them "rice" but hell, 99% of wheels are ricy to me anyway. I'd be more concerned about the low offset (those are Toyota wheels) and the spokes sticking way out = curb magnets.

The offset on those wheels makes them like gaint fan blades in a industrial fan.

I like.

Those are the same as Dean's winter wheels. Discount Tire sells them as the MB Motorsports Weapon. I believe Dean mentioned before that his even say A-tech in the casting or something. Under $400 shipped from DT with my hookup in 17X8, 17X7 is even less.

Definitely A-Tech in the casting, only the cap says MB. I like them...

Do those come in a 5x114 in the 17x8? Any different offsets available like a 40 or lower?

I need to get some rims for my FC :D

With that PCD, 17X8 comes in 42mm or 28mm offsets, 17X9 comes in 27mm or 17mm. 8" are $89 a piece and 9" are $92 each, plus shipping.

Holy crap, I want those! Are they good rims, or crap? I don't know anything about A-Tech.

EDIT: Hmm, sounds like people are having problems dealing with the vendor. Maybe I'll just wait till I get the Works.

I can get you the MBs for cheaper from Discount, and they are the same exact rim.

BOO 2005-02-04 08:36 AM

which ones are the MB's?

khail19 2005-02-04 08:52 AM

Go here

sperry 2005-02-04 09:20 AM

How come no 5x114.3 18x8.5" +48's for my SVX? :(

MikeSTI 2005-02-04 10:09 AM

I have the dark ones, but they have bronze as well I think.

khail19 2005-02-04 01:02 PM

Yes, bronze and gunmetal. Sorry Scott, no SVX fitments, but if you throw 18s on there you would lose your cushy ride!
