So its time for new tires and wheels. Im really stuck on between 18x8 Tarmac 3s or 18x8.5 Rota Torques. Ive been looking at pictures forever and just cannot seem to make up my mind, my car is 04 WRX JBP so im looking to get them in some sort of dark color...Gunmetal...trying to black go for that blackout look. Looking at Advan Neova AD08 or P-Zeros for tires... What do you guys think?
Yea true, at first i looked at 17s but just wasnt sure if i liked the way it looked. I started looking at 18s and i love the look...and as far as $$$ wheeldude has some decent prices, i think, for those rims that im ok with... I was just reading about the Star Specs earlier today, seem to be great tires from what ive read...what tires were you running before?
I've got the star specs on, have had them for a year now and ~10k miles. Love them! Very good in both the dry and wet. Since I don't do anything but normal driving(some what spiritedly) they have plenty of life left and I think I can easily get 20k out of them. Something to consider is going to be weight as well. These higher performance tires tend to weigh a bit and at the 17's I'm at it's not too bad, although I can feel a difference between it and what I had on before. With 18's I imagine it only worse. So it hurts your acceleration a bit as well as your mpgs.
I had 18s and other than weight and tire prices, I honestly think 18s are the best size for suby's appearance wise. 17s for performance.
