Looking for opinions on wheels

[Mille Bornes]

So, I'm just looking for some opinions. I need to buy summer tires but have a few wheel options I keep going back and forth on. The car currently has Blizzaks on flat fives, which have been my winter wheels. I was considering just putting summer tires on these wheels because they fit better and tires would be cheaper, as they're 17's.



My next option is using my summer wheels. They're 18's and the tires I'd get would set me back a little over 600. Pros: I like black wheels. Cons: Wheel cleaner stripped my center caps, two are very slightly bent, and they sit pretty flush which looks nice but the car needs raised to really enjoy spirited driving without wrecking fenders.



Option three: I found these wheels on craigslist. I think they look nice and it sounds like the poster might be open to offers, so I could potentially get a set of wheels and tires for not a whole lot more than just tires for my 18's. However, I think 19's would look silly on a B5.

What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards just buying tires for my black wheels.

I think for looks 18's. For better tire choices
& weight savings 17's.

Option 3 look cheap and tasteless plus 2big. Option 1 look the best. Why not find some decently priced wheels with tires on here or vortex.
18s looks, 17s for go, 19s for b6 and up cars.

Sorry man, your last two choices are terrible. I'd run number 1 if those are the only choices, least there OEM. But you know what they say, opinions are like ass holes, everyone has them. Run what you think looks best, it's your car. 18s, seems to be most practical for performance, looks, and price.

These threads make me feel sorry for the OP. If you like a set of wheels BUY THEM!!! Fuck the haters and run what your brain gets off on

I misinterpreted the poll, I'd say the 17s look the best in this instance. I actually have the same wheels.

[blackslc5]

Yeah 19" look funny but those 18" aren't my cup of tea either. I'd say look for some different 18" or slap some summers on those flat fives. Where in pa are you?

[Yuppie]

I have a set of BBS RX 2 piece wheels for sale. They are 18s and total of 5 wheels. If you're interested, PM me.

[Corradovolksb]

You should find a set of these. I have had them on for a few months now. Vmr v703s 18x8.5 225-40-18 tires

Oh I didn't know you were talking
about the actual wheels in the pics.
Stick with the OEM 17's if your not
going to but a different set. Those 18's
and 19's are not going to compliment
the b5 at all.

In the choices you gave, I'd save the coin. Put good rubber on your 17s and run those shits.

[Mille Bornes]

Thanks for the opinions. I think the black wheels look good, I'm surprised nobody else thinks so lol. I'll probably stick with those but just wanted some input.

Ive always been a sucker for the track/sport look. And bronze lol

What wheels are those? They look great.

I have been somewhat considering buying some type of bronze wheels but I'm moving and getting married so I'm trying not to spend so much

[audacity]

fyi. FAT 5's are 17in FLAT 5's are 18in

[Mille Bornes]

Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't really sure about that. I decided they must be flats because the spokes are pretty much flat
