15" x 8" ATS Cup rims came in today (at least two of them did). Holly fat lips!!! Check those 4" suckers out. Unfortunately they sent me all 18 offset when they were supposed to send two of them in 28 (for the front). Anyway, they should all be here and on the ride by the end of the weekend. Until then I'll just have look at them in the living room.

 

always liked them on vw's....cant wait to see them on a scion.

 

nice!

what size tires are you gonna use?

 

Niiiice! I like those a LOT! Congrats on the reception of your rims; however, my condolences on receiving two in the wrong offset. :D

 

Those are some pimp rims... How much did they set you back?

 

look ok...will be interesting to see how they look on the car

 

I actually can't decide what size tires to put on them.. The problem is that I'm trying to find some that have raised white lettering on the side. I think that will look dope with those rims. Anyways, the only ones that seem to fit are the BFGoodrich Radial T/A. I think those look great, but the only sizes with the white lettering are 205/60/15 and 215/60/15. The 205's have a diameter of 24.7 inches, but I'm wondering if they are too narrow for the 8" rims. The 215/60 have a diameter of 25.2 and that might be just a little too much tire (and might create rubbing problems). If I don't go with either Radial T/A then I'll settle fro some dope 225/50/15's that won't have the lettering I want, but will be fat and be a diameter that is close to stock. I will be dropping the ride on Ground Control coil overs. Probably 2" in rear and 2.25" front. It all depends on how big the tires are. Any suggestions would be great.

 

damn, i never thought i would see a 15 x 8

 

i think those wizzles is the shizzle

 

absolute baller status :twisted: much better than another set of 18s or 19s in chrome ;)


good lookin'

 

those wheels have mo lip than a black girl

 

+18 is just fine man..

oh man i can't wait to see.

 

So what do y'all think on the tires?

 

did you get that pick of tires from summit racing? i don't really care for white letters, but hell its yours. do the damn thang balla

 

you can paint over the letters on the tires

i ve seen it before...

 

you must have gotten those from steve at tunershop, or colour tuning in germany. those wheels are really dope ive always loved those things on vws... i actually thought bout getting a set of those before i got my schmidt modern lines. as far as tires go i would go with the BFGs you have pictured up there, thats what i plan on goin with in 205s. my modern lines are also 15x8s... nice choice in wheels, its about time we get some more people goin with some heavy german wheels .. gj

edit.. also ATS makes another dope set of wheels called "Classic" but im sure youve heard of those.. they are also really dope looking but come in 13x8s

looked over the picture again, and what do ya know, theres a tunershop sticker on the box... damn all i got to say is, steve is coolest guy to buy from... great prices on wheels w/ free shipping, no tax and 3 day shipping from GERMANY!!1.. wait till i get my Borbets.

 

Oh man, I can't wait to see those mounted up. Those were the wheels I wanted on my xB (when and if I get one).

 

Nice, I would say stretch some 195-55-15's on those badboys!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

if these wheels were goin on a vw (what i normally see them on) i would say hell yeah stretch some 195/45 at that.. but on a scion, go with what you already have in mind with some big beefy tires. The reason i say this is, unless you plan on dropping it 3" or more its not gonna look too good with the stretched tires, also our cars have really big wheel wells and with small wheels like 15s and stretched tires it will just look funky. I have some 15x8s that i bought about 2 months ago and when i first got them i put one of them on to see how it would look, and it looked pretty awful, i have the goldlines that lower it 2" and it still looked like it needed to go down another 2". so until i either get some bigger tires or i fix my GTi and put them on it, they will be sitting on my bedroom floor. Either way you go good luck and props to you for some sick wheels.

 

Wow now that's lip :twisted:
