5 Spoke Wheels

Im going to use my Enkei's for winter tire use, and Im going to get a good set of 18's with some good rubber (Proxes T1S', maybe). I want a clean, 5 spoke wheel, with a deep lip. So far I've seen Iforged, 5Zigen and a few others, but I dont know the correct offset. For those of you who have seen the wheels made by SSR on page 6 of this link, in 18's, please tell me where I can find them, they are exactly what I am looking for! Maybe without the rivets, like the 5zigens, but 19" is too big, honestly.

The SSR SP1 Professors. The rowels are nice, but they emphasize the point of 19"s being all show, no go. They dont even look that nice, either.

Well with the Professsors you are stuck with the muti piece wheel with the bolts. BUT Work makes a wheel that looks just like it called the Meister S1 2 pc that has no bolts fits the EVO with size 18 x 9 +35MM and can be ordered in any color. Pink. purple, gunmetal whatever you desire. Don't flame me but I have a nice pic of the S1 on a WRX in black chrome.

Let me know size and finish you need and I'll send you a price for them. Work are very good quality wheels.

Well, I have a silver car. Im not ready to purchase them yet, as the car is brand new, but I am consciously shopping. I was figuring black centers, polished outers if possible. I'd like to run 18x8.5, 245-40-18's and 35 front 38 rear, give a little RWD offset look to the car, unless its not adviseable. I figured as long as the tire/rim size is the same, offsetting is a good way to establish the look I want.

It certainly is, not to mention I think the STi hands down looks the best in white.
