Either way, diggin' it and diggin' the plate for sure.

Spiderman fail! Takata CE's are already back on...

Posting them up for sale today, really just don't fit my car. Just thought I'd post up for those wondering what I picked up.... Wedssport SA-55m 18x10 ET18, spaced out to ET13 w/265/35 in this picture.

I loved the wheel when I first saw it on the show room, but after seeing it on a few different cars, I think I like it more when its not on a car...

Possibly the Black/Blue would have looked better, but yeah I agree with you.

Agreed, I like the idea, but it really just doesn't work IMO (talking about the color on the wheel).

Any other shots Tilt?

yeah, you're telling me Sick ride for sure, I used to ride lower than that static in my first car, I tore my car up as I was an idiot and didn't know how to drive slammed yet, after ripping off tranny plugs and tearing fuel lines I figured **** out pretty quick. I want to return to the static days at some point, but it will probably be with something that has a frame. (prefereably a 50's era custom/rat rod )

You have to remember it's going to be tough to replace Takata CE's

(not replace as in tough to replace a bent wheel, tough as in they fit the car so well that nothing else looks as good)

Its a nice set of wheels. Its "aggressive" well to me at least. The only thing wrong is the colour combination. At one point i was looking into these wheels for my summer rims. But due to the lack of colour selection i decided not to.

Dude, you would have to be retarded to send a brand new set of WEDS to the powdercoat shop.

Damn man.... if you could only seen the wheels I have seen get a spray can taken to them you'd cry. I dont see any issue having them professionally done up brand new or not, its just there primarily for corrosion purposes. Plus never been a fan of the ricey two tone wheels whether it be from Weds themselves or not.


matter of fact, I bought a set of spray painted Wats and used them for street drifting.

Those Weds don't flow too well for me on your car Tilt.

But those Takata CE's would be hard to replace in the first place haha.

Broke a rim and now will have to run on 17x9 +15 front (couldnt find a replacement cuz 5Zigen discontinued their line.) Also will need to paint them...thinking bronze


What rim are you choosing?


this is a pic on stock suspension (will be dropped on bilstien HD's and Eibachs next week) so as you can see there is plenty of room for a big meaty tire.

wish I had a better pic right now to show you stretch but here you go.
