    work wheels

    Been thinkin bout work s1 p2's for the vr as ive built up a love for these wheels...i know the standard offset of a vr is et35-42. Wonderin if anyone could assist me in finding some to fit...been tryin to find a set of 16's with the 5x100 pcd. Anyone got a set or know some distributors etc?

    Has anyone done this before anyway? keen to see it if it has...

    Subaru have the same stud pattern, so you could try searching on some suby forum's for a set?

    the main thing to think about is if they will look good on the car? yes they are an amazing looking set of wheels! but will they suit the VR?

    cheers

    dont forget that suby wheels are often super high offset, ie +45-50ish, which means you'll need spacers.

    If you're not opposed to running adapters, that would be another option, as I think you're more likely (much more) to find a set in 5x114.3. Often they'll have high offsets (ie +45) which means they're prefect candidates for adapters. (I've got a set of works like this that I'm rebuilding atm, which will fit nicely with adapters)

    Celica's are 5x100 too, and have much VR friendlier offsets, but are often kinda skinny, only 7 or 7.5" wide, in my experience, but nice offsets at around +35.

    Hope you're willing to spend big bucks, cause it'll be exxy!

    hope this helps.

    if your going to use adapters, just buy 5x100 works if you need to...... use bolt in spacer's, no point looking for 5x114 rims and putting adapters if your going to space out some 5x100's anyway......

    You're going to be hard pushed to find a set locally that fit straight up, your best bet is going to be yahoo auctions in Japan and you may find a set with delivery will be cheaper than a set here.
    Your other option is to get a set custom built to your exact specs but this does add up and will be around $2k+ before tyres...

    A Pog with dish would be awesome... Next you can drop it lower than is practical and get a good stretch.

    Bag it.
