Ok tire rack is no help! I need some wheels for the corrado but the set i just bought u can't use lug nuts only bolts.Does anybody know of a wheel that i can buy that is black 5x100 15 or 16 inch rim that will except nuts and either dosent cost 250 a rim or weigh 20lbs a rim? I know very run on scentence but phew i need to get it out. Thanks i'm very frustrated
I'm confused as to why you can't use lug nuts if you can use bolts. Do they used collared lug bolts rather than ball-head or conical-head bolts?Quote:

If u go to tire rack the rims are the motegi racing rm125 black i really wanted to use them but im not really interested in using these special lug bolts with spacers if they even offer them in the length i need. just want a simple set up like i had on the GTI.

Yeah I wondered if you were looking for an ITS size.
I have had good luck finding less popular size combinations by watching forum classifieds like vortex. You should also keep a look out on Subaru forums, as they have a lot of 5 x 100.
The best bang for the buck in a lightweight wheel is Spin Werks IMO, but you are looking at something around $250 per wheel there I think.
1552 tuning also carries compomotive, and there are some 15x7 options in the $210/wheel range:

This is probably the best value out there right now:

Maybe cheap enough to pick up 6 in order to have a few spares on hand in case of an incident damaging a wheel or two.
There is also a fair number of choices at Discount Tire Direct, but some look like they also use the "tuner bolts" that you ran into with Tire Rack. I don't really know anything about these brands, but the price is not high.

I found discount tire yesterday seem like good prices. Does anybody know anything about Drag rims as a wheel company seem like descent wheels for a descent price
Most likely heavy!Quote:

I usually get shafted when i buy anyhting so im asking the pro's what your thoughts are. There called drag dr-34 they seem like an ok company. Guys on the SRT forums use them for drag racing. Will they stand up to the abuse of road racing do you get what u pay for light weight rim for cheap money means cheap right!? Any and all imput is welcome. The corrado needs some wheels to ride on! :026:
Trmotorsport from tire rack, they make a 15x7 in 5x100. I use their 15x8's and there great
