I don't think we'll do the offset that low. Lower offset in the front leads to compromises in handling because you're moving the wheel center away from the steering axis. My guess is they'll be stock offset; customers can always space them out further if they want using wheel spacers.

Probably not, but we do have a wheel that we carry NOW that has that option, and that's the Rota D.



We put 18x8.5" +44 all around on this car, but we do also stock an 18x9.5 +40 version of the same wheel that would fit very well on the back.

so this guy is a douchebag. Cool.

I'm not a douche bag, I just don't like knock-off parts.

I want to see you go get the toolings and create your own wheel, then you might have room to talk.

Let's see you design, create, test, manufacture, and sell you own model of wheel, and it had better be original! Oh, it also needs to fit on our cars, be lightweight, affordable, and incredibly strong.

There was NO wheel like this available when Mach V released these. They're essentially D Force wheels (confirmed that months ago, but you have confirmation above). Neither 5Zigen nor D Force offered a wheel in this size in this fitment; Mach V did a lot for the Subaru community by offering these wheels.

also, arent the 5zigen FN0R1C wheels discontinued anyways?

Can we please see a picture from directly down the side of the vehicle? If at stock height the +50 offset is flush can we see how the 8mm of poke looks? Does lowering the vehicle on the Mach V springs make +42 flush?

With Mach V lowering springs:



Stock ride height:





Note that these tires are 255/40R17, which is taller and wider than ideal on this car. It's just what we already had mounted, so we put them on. A better match would be 245/40R17.

Thanks a lot for those! Pokes a little more than I'd like in the front but at this width and weight combo, it can't be beat.

Those wheels are indeed, er, awesome.

They would be even more awesome if we could get a coupon code/go on sale!

We think they're already an excellent value, and we cannot afford to sell them for less. Sorry.

Guess they should have come to the open house..........oh well, they lost out on a better deal, no coupon was needed.
