Which wheels? Stern ST6 or ST11?

Which of these 2 wheel designs would you pick? The ST6's are available in 18"x8.5" and 19"x8.5", both have a +38 offset. The ST6 has a Hyperblack finish on the sides of the spokes and inside the wheel with a polished lip. The ST11's are only available in 18"x8" with a +38 offset. The ST11's have Hyperblack spokes with a polished lip.

The 18" ST6's would look something like this:




The ST11's would look like this:

Sorry! Not an option! They are SOLD! lol. I want something brighter again. I think my car looked to dark with black wheels. Black wheels with a polished lip look OK, but they are pretty played out. The ADR's with tires were 49lbs each! My rotors were working some serious overtime! MEGA WARPAGE! lol

I think Black wheels look good on silver, yellow, white, and other light colors. Your Super Hiro's are going to look amazing! By the way, wheelsboutique.com will custom drill Axis wheels to 5x110 if anyone is interested. I was going to get gold Reverbs, but they are discontinued apparently.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Probably the 19's.

Here's a Lexus IS350 with 20" chrome ST6's:

Just wear a mouth guard so your teeth don't chatter when you hit a bump/pothole!

Dammit! Now you're making me second guess myself! What size tires did you have on your Talons 19's? (width/profile)

All im going to say is my experience is with 19's with 235/35/19's and it rides like **** and the lips on the rims are all tore up from hitting **** in the road since they are only 1/4 inch off the ground I just dont like the rough ride and how they get tore up/bend so easy because of the lack of tire.

If oyu could run like a 40 or 45 series tire i would be all over it but with 35's the rim is way to close to the ground

Crap! I was going to go with 235/35's! Maybe I will get 18x8.5's with 235/40's.

235/45/18 would be too big. 235/40/18's have about the same sidewall height as the stock 215/45/18's.

Just remember your speedo will be reading slow. These are 235/40/18's. There is plenty of meat there.

I agree that plenty of meat...

And my speedo isnt slow, or atleast by much, i followed my mom home with it (dad rode with me so yes its legal ) and i was doing 70 and she was doing 70 and she was pulling ahead a little so if anything its a little high for some reason
