The Bugeye is a car that will always be special to us because that’s what got us started in the automotive industry. Even after more than a decade after its first release, it’s great to see properly done Bugeyes just like Niko’s. We won’t take back what we said from Niko’s previous feature that his car is an example of the perfect Bugeye with all the little details coming together nicely.
Niko is back with his new set up. Still rocking that Silver on White color combo but with the more aggressive Rota RT5’s. Niko’s car is definitely looking better than ever!
Shout out to Steve Nguyen of SN.Photography for the awesome pictures! Go check out his Facebook page.

Tires: 255/35/18
Suspension: ISC N1 Coilovers
Luke is back for the third time on wheeldude.com. We just can’t get enough of this aggressive STI rocking the 18×10 +30 Flat Black SVN-R’s. It’s great how these wheels do not require a lot of work to fit under the fenders of the newer STI’s.

Tires: Bridgestone RE-11 265/35/18
We all know how much work you have to put on a car to get a feature on Modified Magazine. Dave did just that back in 2010 with his monster GC8 rocking 18×10 SVN-R’s in Flat Black. Dave was one of the first people to run these aggressive wheels which were intended to turn like its on rails at the track. Dave’s GC also ran some spacers to push the wheels out to +5 offset in the front and +1 offset in the rear to fill out those massive custom installed Jun S13 Silvia fenders. This has to be one of the craziest cars to ever grace the pages of wheeldude.com!

Wheels: 18×9.5 Rota Grid - Sports Bronze (5×114.3/e38/73)
Tires: 225/40/18
Suspension: BC Extreme Low Kit
The timing was just right when Jerry sent us some pictures of his Mazdaspeed 3 since it’s been a while since we last featured a Mazda on our website. Jerry’s whip is rocking the recently released 18×9.5 Grids in Sports Bronze finish. We can definitely say that the Sports Bronze looks good on a red car! We asked Jerry for more pics but these will do for now.

Car: 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX

Tires: 255/35/18 Bridgestone RE01 RFT
Suspension: Helix DNA Coilovers
Time to bring back one of the best and most aggressive looking Bugeye’s out there. If you are on NASIOC quite often, con10der8 would be a familiar name to you. He’s pretty active on a lot of threads especially the Bugeye thread which he considers his home.
con10der8’s Bugeye is rocking the 18×9.5 +22 DPT’s in Flat Black. He chose to go with 255/35/18 to maintain the car’s functionality. Props to him for running a meaty set up on some low offset wheels!

We would like to present to you the new Rota RT5’s in 18×10 +30. This specific fitment has a lot of concavity and deep lip at the same time! Here are the specs and colors that are coming in this March.

Wheels: 18×10 Rota SVN - Flat Black (5×100/114.3/E30/73)
Tires: 265/35/18
Suspension: KSport Coilovers
We are big fans of sedans and coupes but this particular Scion TC is a hatchback we wouldn’t mind owning! Aaron had a vision before he even started modding the car. He wanted a clean, beefy and functional car to take him around town. Aaron was able to do all that in less than a year which makes us more excited about his future plans for the car. We heard that this mad hatchback is going to get a turbo kit soon too. Should be sick!

Car: 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
Wheels: 18×9.5 Rota PWR - Flat Black(5×114.3/e32/73)
Tires: 265/35/18 Hankook Ventus V12
Suspension: BC Racing Coilovers
Kelly sent us some pictures of his 2011 STI running the new Rota PWR’s. These wheels have the +32 offset but only required a rear fender roll even with the meaty 265/35/18 tire set up. Gotta love that aggressive set up!
Customer: Daniel Phan
Car: 2006 Subaru Impreza STi
Wheels: Linea Corse Lemans in Hyper Silver with Polished Lip
Daniel was the first one to rock the Linea Corse Lemans on a Subaru. The stance and fitment of this car is just perfect and which is one of the reasons why the Lemans has been so successful in the Subaru community. Check out the bonus video on the bottom too!

Owner: Brewer
Car: 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX
Wheels: 18×10 Rota SVN - Flat Black (5×100/114.3/E30/73)
Tires: 235/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO
Suspension: Stance GR+ coilovers(-2 camber all around)
Brewer is at it again! We featured his car a couple of months back when he was still running the 18×9.5 +30 Linea Corse Lemans. This time he’s going more aggressive! (Previous feature here.) He is currently running the 18×10 Rota SVN’s with some stretched 235/40/18 Hanook Ventus V12 Evos. We were surprised when he told us that he is only running -2 camber with a slight fender pull. On to the pictures.
