Hello, I am very new to the Evo world and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with 17" tarmac or turbomac wheels. Thank you for your time.

I like the turbomac. I once Googled the Tarmac wheel and think they look kinda funny on an Evo. Great on VWs, by the way LOL.
I also like that you can order a custom offset.

The reason I didn't buy any is that I have no clue if they clear our brakes. Last think I want to do is order a set in the perfect offset, then have to add spacers.

I thought they looked funny at first too, but they are slowly growing on me, I think. I honestly still don't know about them. I never see these wheels and they are on sale right now. The custom offset is pretty nice, but it would really suck if they didn't clear.

Heres a thread on some 18's (kind of a futuristic blocky look =(

They look interesting. I was thinking about trying 17s and seeing how they look.

I just want to do something different.

I was shopping the 17X8 + 15, (iirc)
​​for daily driving. Cheap tires. Look cool..win/win. But...The brakes....
let us know how they fit.

My buddy co-owns this company. They are super chill. Email them with your concerns/measurements and they'll help you figure out fitment. I know someone out there is running 18s, pretty sure with no spacers.

The turbomac looks OK, wouldn't be my choice of wheel though. The tarmac is not good for the CT9a, does not look good at all.

I emailed. No reply, yet. I hear the wheels are heavy, but can't be worse than an 18x9 Rota.

I pinged my buddy. Hopefully someone gets in touch with you soon.
