Car: 1998 Subaru Impreza

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!

Two days ago, we posted up our Bugeye on Sports Bronze Titans. (Click HERE to see the previous feature.) Today we would like to show you the other side of the car, still rocking the Rota Titans but in Flat Black. These wheels fit great on the GD and they look pretty big for 17″ wheels. Let us know what you think!
The 5×112 Grids are back by popular demand! We have restocked the Full Royal Silver color and also added Flat Black for those of you looking for a darker colored wheel. Get your set now since the 5×112 Grids only come in limited quantities.

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!

Welcome to the first of a two part feature of the Wheeldude FR-S on 17×9 Rota Titans Square Set Up. Today we would like to show you the Titans in Flat Black finish wrapped in 245/40/17 rubber. Not only do these wheels look great, but they are also pretty light for their size(17.8 lbs each). Talk about looking good and being functional at the same time.
If you noticed, we only showed you the right side of the car. Stay tuned for the second part of this feature because we will be showing you the 17×9 Titans in a different color. Don’t foget to check back in tomorrow.

Wheels: 18×8.5/9.5 Rota RT5 - Flat Black (5×100/e44F/e44R/73)
Tires: 225/40/18 Front; 255/35/18 Rear
Suspension: KW coilovers
The “Dude” is back in the bay for now and one of the first things he did was go back to one of his favorite spots. He took with him his camera and snapped a few shots of the FR-S with the bay bridge at the back of course.
Our FR-S is currently running a staggered set of Flat Black Rota RT5’s. The wheels are wrapped in 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires in the front and back, respectively. We also have the RT5’s in Hyper Black, White and Hyper Silver for those of you looking for a lighter color. Click on the links below to see the previous features of our FR-S running Hyper Black, White and Hyper Silver RT5’s.

Tires: 255/40/17 Federal 595
Suspension: KW V3 Coilovers
This set up is the best compromise between looks and functionality. Here’s what Cory has to say “Love these wheels!!! My third set of rotas charging through snow, mud, dirt, gravel and many potholes with no problems!!”
Cory would like to thank his lovely girl Sam Kinard for the awesome pictures!!!
Owner: William
Car: 2009 Subaru Impreza
Wheels: 18×9.5 Rota Boost 2 - Flat Black (5×100/e35/73)
Tires: 225/40/18
Suspension: Coilovers
William loves how the Boost 2’s made his car look a lot more aggressive! Not only that, he told us that the wider stance made his car drive like a dream. William racks up about 25,000 kilometers per year and at this ride height, he can still clear most bumps and ramps in his town. Perfect daily driver set up? We would say so.
It’s been a while since we last posted a double feature on our site. Going head to head today would be two 2011 STI’s both running Flat Black wheels. They both look good in their own different ways and we won’t blame you for picking a favorite. So, who’s it going to be?

If you think this car looks familiar, you are probably right. We featured Anthony’s FR-S on the website in August and he’s coming back strong. (Click here to see his previous feature) He is running the same wheel set up but almost everything else has been changed. From suspension set up to aero parts, this car is probably one of the most modded FR-S stateside. Scroll down to see his full mod list. Thanks for sending in the new pictures Anthony!
That sinister look!
