    WHat do you guys think of these wheels?

    Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct



    I think they are pretty nice. Their offset is +25 so they would probably stick out a bit from the fenders, but I think they look damn good. Good price, too.

    98 VR-4 - Billet 13t's, Downpipe, Blitz EBC, Ohlins R/T coil overs, SCE center differential, SCE oil pan, Pampena braced trans, TEC Rear Strut Bar, Custom Front Strut Bar, Camber Arms, Alum Driveshaft, 2" Koyo, Maximal oil cooler, SAFC2, Defi Gauges, RC 550's, Supra Pump, Skillard Splitter, Hardpipes, XYZ 14" front brakes/Carbotech, 255 Dunlop Z2's, AMR 18x9's, Alpine/Infinity/JL Sound.

    18x9.5" They weight 25 lbs each so they are pretty much the same weight as stock, but an inch wider.

    They're not listed as compatible for our cars. Do you know they will fit? Discount Tyre Direct has great pricing but they only show 17" and 18" wheels for our cars. Why not 19"????

    The wheel fitment system they use is very "strict" i guess you would call it. They have hundreds of rims that would fit, but they are just to different from the stock wheel to guarantee fitment and they dont want to try every wheel on every car.

    Same reason they dont list any 15's for the VR4/TT. Some of them can clear the stock brakes but they dont have the time to test 300 different wheels to see if it will work or not.
