A 40 series? Not on your life.

When I bought my 2nd SVT it came with 215/45r17 on Superleggeras and I hated how they looked, not wide enough for the wheel. I moved up to a 225/40r17 and the sidewall is the same height as the 45 but the tread width is greater. And the roads out here aren't any better.
 
the rs-5's look too much like a factory wheel...

your camber looks out of whack in those pics

And a 215/45 looks like a little rubber band to begin with. 225/45 is nice and meaty.
 
The spoke design on the OZ will always make them look about 1" smaller than they are.

Heres my 18"s which don't look like 18" at all:

What is the finish on these wheels? Are they special order? I thought I remembered something like competition silver/grey....
 
sell the inky's, powdercoat the OZ's.


/thread.

Thats what i was thinking :shrug:

Keep the oz!! After having 17" rs-5's i went to 18"rs-5's...then i bailed on anything that was sold in the states and bought my wheels in UK. :cool:

What really drove me away from the rs-5's, is everywhere i went i started to see them on crap cars.:blackeye: Then i knew i had to do something about that. So i sold them:cool:
 
Based off the pole, we really didn't help you decide :blackeye:.....

i thought we were supposed to keep the three bars up to close of equal length?:shrug:





:laugh:.

im still going with the RS-5s, they're easier to clean, and they look better on your car.
 
It's time to trade me those OZs for my Motegi HyperBlacks (they are impossible to find--extremely rare, just what you need)
