06.13Peter’s Lexus IS250 on Polished LC888’s

Owner: Peter
Car: 2009 Lexus IS250 AWD
Wheels: 19×8.5/10 Linea Corse LC888 - Polished (5×114.3 +30+38/73)
Tires: 225/35/19 Front; 265/30/19 Rear

Making a car standout while still keeping things simple is one of the hardest things to pull off. Peter did just that with his Lexus IS250 AWD. Peter chose cleanly designed front and rear lips, a set of IS350 OEM brakes and a shiny HKS exhaust to keep things lowkey. A set of Polished Linea Corse LC888’s were installed on the car to finish off that clean and classy look that Peter envisioned from the beginning.

Owner: Wheeldude
Car: 2013 Scion FR-S

Just got around to test fitting a set of 19″ Linea Corse LC818’s on our FRS and we’re pretty pleased with the results.

They fit pretty good with a nice slight poke in the rear and perfect fitment in the front.

06.03Black WRX on 18×10 Hyper Silver RT5s

Owner: Dogshoe on NASIOC
Car: 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX TR
Wheels: 18×10 Rota RT5 - Hyper Silver (5×100/e30/73)
Tires: 225/40/18
Suspension: BC Racing BR Extreme Drop Coilovers, BC Rear Camber plates, Eibach Camber Bolts F/R

From this…

To this…

Coming from an already sick setup with the Titanium Chrome SVN-R’s, Dogshoe from NASIOC was a bit iffy at first when he purchased the Hyper Silver RT5’s. After installing the RT5’s on his car, he was surprised at how good the wheels actually looked on his car. These wheels look great on every car that runs them and might even be the next “Rota Grid”.

05.23Throwback Thursday - Dave’s GC8 Featured on Modified Magazine

Customer: Dave Mann
Car: 1998 Subaru Impreza
Wheels: 18×10 Rota SVN-R - Flat Black (5×100/114.3/E30/73)
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!
