I love the Volks, I say have them redone in maybe a bit more of a wild color and run a meatier and/or stickier tire on them.

Do what I did and just add more wheel on the inside. Have the TE custom widened. There are companies that will cut your wheels and add/weld in what you want. It does seem sort of silly that you have all this cool widebody fender work and are running smaller wheels/tires then me, with a stock body. You do have the power to turn a 345

Its a suggestion that I have been looking into. I havent found a place that. Wants to do it the few places i spoke to said the wheel will have to go up in size in diameter
Making it a 2 peice wheel.


Do you have any suggestions on places to call?

Also structual integrity, you think it will effect the performance of the wheels negativly at all? Maybe make them off balance or anything weird.

Im a wheel noob when it comes to stuff like this lol.

Appreciate all the responses guys!

After doing some research of my own, these are the guys I went with to add 2" to the inside of my wheels. Talk to these guys and get all your questions answered. http://www.weldcraftwheels.com/

And an S with 345's would be insane one of a kind, sort of like mine with a stock body and 11.5"/295's Just make sure you run a diff that can keep up with that kind of power and rollers on each end, I assure you this will be your weak link moving forward.

And if anyone is interested, here is a thread with some info on my widened wheel set up and a few lousy whore pics

You are going to get a LOT of votes for the ccw lm20 because of its infamousity ..of course..and current and past owners.. but its done over and over..and seems you want out of the box.

Ccwlm5 is too boring for your style..
the forged 7.1 looks good but I think it wouldnt fit your widebody..no dish..and looks like a viper srt8 wheel.

the forged 5.0 would be an excellent choice to up the tire size to a 305..or so...and this wheel would allow for a deep ass DISH in the bak which would give an EXTREME look with your kit. just the 5 spoke design could be a tad boring.

My second choice would be the 1.8ts...look concave a bit and sexy in the polish or chrome look...but if you were thinking to choose these...I would just keep the te37s which are sexier than these 1.8ts.

I think YOU have grown bored of the look of the wheels on your car and want something new..BUT to give you honest opinion..youre car, minus need for rear stock wing and ap2 tailights and stock ap2 bumper with lip instead of that bumper(not my taste)..is PERFECT...and the current wheels on there are perfect..I agree with earlier post..just powdercoat them a diff crazy color to suit youre boredness. or the 5.0s

He actually had way more votes to keep the TE and he didn't seem tired of the look but I think he just wants wider wheels.

I second everything S2000Junky has said

Didnt notice he had a vote selection for keeping the TE he should keep those.

And WE really dont know if he is tired of the look or if he just wants wider wheels..I think he wants wider wheels but wouldnt mind a diff look. But who are we to know LOL.

I say widen the TE as well.
