I need to get 17 inch winter rims for this bad boy.
I was thinking of getting these, hoping for a yellow Lancer Ralliart look.
The bolt pattern, size, and offset is perfect for the K4.
Is white + yellow a dumb idea? Should I go with matte silver instead like the trim pieces? I'm really struggling to picture it for some reason, but I feel like satin white wheels on a popping colour would work.
EDIT: I've received a lot of excellent suggestions, but I do have some criterion:
- Must be winter approved (salt / brine resistant coating)
- Must be 17x7.5 or 17x8
- Must have an offset of roughly +42mm (7.5 inch width)
- Must have a lug pattern of 5x114.3 with a centre bore of at least 67.1
- Must be available for sale in Quebec
- Must be under $250 CAD per wheel before taxes
For reference, my stock rims are 18x8 with a +56 offset.
EDIT 2: I think I've decided on getting the 720 Form FF6 after comments mentioning similar looking wheels, a lower spoke count and thicker spokes. I'm willing to stretch my budget for them, especially since they are flow formed and higher quality than the Dai I was originally looking at. I'm still sold on the white since I couldn't find a matte silver rim that fit my taste and budget.
I will pull the trigger tomorrow morning. Let me know if you have more comments. Thanks all!
EDIT 3: Can't make up my mind lmao. I inquired with a local shop about getting some light gray Sparco rims. See comments.
Funny you mention the high spoke count. I was actually looking at these, but the price tag made me reconsider lmao
Gloss black will unfortunately just turn gray in winter, I was debating between matte silver and matte white for winter. I had gloss black steelies on my previous car and they were just gray 50 after a day of driving, covered in salt brine.
EDIT: Those wheels have too little offset anyway, they'll stick out way too much much at 35mm :/ the stock wheels seem to have a huge +56 mm offset
EDIT2: I actually got confused because the stock wheels are 8 inch wide while these are 7.5 inch wide, +35mm is only 16mm further out, which is acceptable
Well I like the spoke count and their width.
Something about it seems more "fit for purpose" and less "safe" than the others. If you're going white, they gotta look confident in themselves and avoid little subtle or sleek design choices. I think because the others with higher spoke count have no depth in the dish and sort of have a smooth convex out to the rim, they look too clean and safe which goes against the more aggressive lines on the car as well.
Them lower spokes ones, though, "Here I am! Let's perform!"
Edit: Plus bonus points if your calipers and discs look nice.
I like the way you think.
I may pull the trigger on the FF6 tomorrow. They're higher quality than my original pick, they do fit, and I'm willing to stretch my budget for a higher end flow-formed wheel that will be less likely to crack.
