as of now, im just trying to figure out what i like ... by the time i buy them, its unsure whether i will be driving the camry or a wrx wagon, so just keep in mind that the wheels could go on either car ....

------------------------------------

Option 1:

ASA AR1's

Option 2:

i like the Torks better. The closer spokes just look better. I think wheels that size though are gonna look funny on the Camry but will look pretty badass on the WRX.

actually 17s and 18s look great on a camry ... despite their stock size is 14" or 15"

and the stock size for the subie is 17", so that will fit well too :)

I agree. They look just as bad as an unpainted body kit on a car.

^ well lemme go order a body kit, in that case

youre forgetting that body kits are aftermarket, steelies are OEM ...

I dont care what they are. They are still ugly. My crash bar is OEM and you dont see me taking off my bumper and driving around like that.

but your bumper is also OEM, which covers the crash bar .... i dont have OEM hubcaps that cover the steel rims

I dont have OEM hubcaps.....BOOF'NHOO!!!!!!!! Who cares about OEM?!?! Its a stupid peice of plastic that is probably made by the same people who mkae them for Pep Boys etc. Quit being cheap and buy some $30 hubcaps.

Torks look cheap. The ASA's are nice, I have seen that wheel on a few cars and it always looks good.

And their logo looks awfully similar to the Work one.

Tork is a pretty decent-quality company for those of you who have doubts ... but ASA is better quality

and i own hubcaps you stupid fvck, pay attention and read the rest of my threads where i point this out ... i even have pictures since you have the reading ability and focus of a 10 year old - i dislike the look of hubcaps ... its like they are trying to be wheels but are obviously faking it, so i rather just have steelies ... everyone knows that hubcaps are just covering up steelies, so why bother

i cant figure out if the ASA's come in 5x100/5x114.3 or not ... i see 10 spots for lugs, but none of the websites that sell them say that they come with multiple lug patterns ... but i think i have my eye on the ASA AR1's as of now

what do you guys think of that? the rear wheels will require a 10mm spacer, which means i would have to buy H&R's 15mm spacer and have it machined down to 8-10mm

the 5mm isnt big enough, the wheel almost touches the struts in the rear

I think a wheel that wide on a FWD car is stupid.

before you buy any wheels you need to bring the car to me we make the proper measurements and find out the best width to offset fiment coupled with the right size tire to maximes contact patch and minimize rubbing. Unless you want to roll and pull your fenders. Before you buy though hit me up. I am in bellevue i can help you with this.
