Default wheels

so ive been looking around for some new wheels. didn't want to get bbs because it seems like everyone has them. i was looking at some a5 y spoke wheels but they seem to only come in 19" im assuming that with that large of wheel they would rub?



or these that come more available in the 18"

I run 19s but had to use spacers to prevent the back from rubbing on the suspension. It all depends on the width and offset of the rims.

Yeah I'm running 19's and have 245/35 series tires on them. The only part that rubs are the uprights in the back but I just ground off a little bit and they're fine. Spacers would be easier though.

A bit over-played, in my opinion.

I like both styles, but I wouldn't personally run the S5 wheels unless I had some big brakes to show off...
