What do you guys think about these? - Page 2 - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

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.

I vote bronze.

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

WRX06TR · 2008-03-04, 04:11 PM

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

.
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?

Nick Koan · 2008-03-13, 12:36 PM

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.

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?

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.

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

WRX06TR · 2008-03-19, 09:40 AM

Got them today...still need to go get lugs and that other tire...

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-03-19, 10:04 AM

what size did you get? Now I see that I need to get new brakes.

WRX06TR · 2008-03-19, 12:03 PM

17x8 +48
