D-Force - ROTA Wheels

ok so im looking at the 18s but dont know what offset to go with the +35 or +45...i want the lip but dont want it to look dumb....

also what size tires do i need for the speedo to work properly???


thanks!

35 offset and I believe 225/40/18 is what you're after. You're gonna poke just a tad in the front and probably flush in the rear. Space the rears with a 10mm spacer and it would look great.

Yes, I think they are nice, but I also like 5-spoke wheels too..

Ultra Wheel
or
Ultra Wheel

Same wheel, but it comes in the red, or the grey...


Also, the Rota Torque rims are pretty sweet....




The TSW Vairano is pretty nice too..

And, the Konig Lace Black wheels are HOT...

And.. I think that the TSW Estoril wheels would look great as well!

Anyway, those are my thoughts

I think these would *all* look good on a Black Turbo S =)
Also, you could even do a little custom color painting on the lip for a bit more oomph =)

100% agree!

I have 18's on Probie. 225/40/18 is the same rolling diameter as the stock 16's, so speedo will be ok with it!

As far as offset, 35 is what my Mille's are I believe. They don't seem to poke out at all. If anything the rears are still a bit tucked. 10mm spacer should do the trick and all will be well with the world!

Just make sure, whatever wheel you get that it's made of a durable material. My Mille's are soft so they bend really easily. Thinking of running my steelies daily and using the 18's VERY minimally, simply because straightening and resurfacing is a PITA!!!
