Lightweight Blue Rims??

Does anyone know of any other brands that offer lightweight blue wheels? Currently all I can find are these. I am also curious how they will sit as they both have a 40mm offset vs the stock 42 front 30 back. I would like to get some some spacers to make everything flush with the car. Any thoughts or suggestions?

In case anyone was curious about blue wheels, I painted my stock ones with BMWs Interlogos Blue. Here are some pics..

Yah those do look pretty nice too, but how much do they weight? They would give me some options over the OZ though. Has anyone tried doing 18x8 front and 19x9.5 or 10.5? I would like a bit more rubber in the back and though the 18 front 19 back would give it a nice stance, but I havent seen it before...

Oh really? Not having staggered WOULD make rotating/buying tires a lot easier! Do you have an rubbing issues, are you using spacers? Do you have any pics to show how flush they are?

You can always just dip whatever wheels you want too.

What is your price range? Quite a few options out there that offer custom powder coating.

I vote VMR V810 in Midnight Blue but maybe I'm a little biased :P


When I think blue wheels, I can't help but think of Volks either. Mag Blue on the left, F-Zero Blue on the right:

Matt, I saw your other post that you were running the VMR810s with a 18x9.5 ET25 w/255/35 + 18x10 ET25 w/265/35 setup. Did you have to do any fender mods, or do you have any rubbing issues?

Have you considered Plasti Dipping the wheels to the color of your choice? Its great for track wheels as the brake dust doesn't eat up the Rubber dip coating, easy to change colors too. I dipped a set of track wheels for my STi and it worked out great.
Apex Arc 8's are in the middle of a group buy and are strong and lightweight. great price and free shipping.
Just a thought.

I just saw an earlier post suggested dipping.

Yah, and TBH I have no desire to plasti dip...I have seen how easily they get messed up. I have also talked to some tire shops who wont even mount your tires because their machines will just shred the dip right off the wheels.

The rears fit fine, I actually added some small spacers in there as well. I did have to roll my fenders and did a very minor pull. Also have the fender liner trimmed towards the front where it meets the bumper. All this still may or may not be required and will depend largely on ride height, alignment, and specific tire choice. Basically, if you end up going with this setup don't be surprised if there is some rubbing that needs to be sorted out.

Post #68 in this thread has the same front setup and you can see how far the front pokes, though the poster says it doesn't rub -> http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthre...1006668&page=4
