i think they'd look good with the platinum vibe he has, but i do agree that the weight is a lil high.. if you got an angle shot similar to the angled pic of the rim i'll do a quick photoshop so you can see what it'd look like, after all this is YOUR vibe so if YOU like it and want them, dont let us stop you

I actually like them, but yeah almost 30lb a piece is too much. Vibes don't have much torque.

ahhh yea that is true..i wasnt really taking weight into consideration...was in one of those "anything will look better than these steel wheels" moods...glad i didnt order them yet!....was lookin at these tooOffset: 35mm Bolt Pattern: 5-100Rec.

out of the 2 i like the 2nd ones, they're different, like i said, get a pic of a side view with abit of an angle and i'll do some photoshopping for you

TheBrokenSteps · Post by **TheBrokenSteps** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 9:51 am

yea im definitely going for something different..ive seen a few guys on cardomain with the first set..they look really nice tho...and thanks for the photoshop offer but there arent any better pics on the site im using tirerack.com...but you could view em on the car tho!!

I think they would all look nice, BUT, they are sinkers(heavy) I know of something that would look better, be lighter and prolly cost you less.... Find my sale thread, in the for sale section.. Welcome to GenVibe BTW...!!!!!!!!!!!

I like those if they made them in hyperblack... not a big fan of the polished look

Question, what's the 'real deal' with your sig pic?? Not trying to be a jerk at all... Is that you and the pops??

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 5:03 am

wow. 27.5 lbs??? as if the Vibe wasn't slow enough, you want to add that kinda weight to each corner?

TheBrokenSteps · Post by **TheBrokenSteps** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 6:28 am

whatsup again...im still looking at the sport tuning set in black...they are 25lbs a piece tho..even though they say lightweight, are they really considered heavy?? sry idk much about rims & tireshaha and about my signature pic...yea the dealership took that the day my dad and i picked it up and made it into a calendar...unfortunately its the only pic of my vibe at the moment

My Subaru Leggy GT wheels are ~17-18lbs each, for a 17" fitment... and they DO fit the vibe... painting them black would be easy... Just a thought, not pushin... They are hot though... I thought I could easily swap them onto the Vibe for pics, but I couldn't, the thread pich on the lugs are different and the stock Vibe lugs(12.5x1.5 vs 12.5x1.25) wouldn't work with the Subie wheels.... I has pics though...

mkay, Mr. Sublimewind, you're saying Subie wheels are 5X100 and have an offset between 38 and 45 mm??? I had no idea. Definitely opens up a good set of wheels to the Vibe. I have not quite settled on a set of 17s yet, Still working on that... and really agree they have to be less than 20 lbs a piece. Those ASA five spokers aren't bad looking, but 27.5 pounds... and then you add another 20 to 25 pounds of tire to that? Throw your back out mounting them, never mind having to make that monster 1.8 liter turn them all at the same time.

Sublime i really like the way those Subaru wheels look on the Vibe..im going for a 5 spoke design though..but you'll definitely get a buyer!!hmm so steel wheels weigh 23.16 lbs huh...well the model im looking at weighs 25 at 18" and 19.5 at 17"...would it make sense to go for the smaller ones or would i even notice that near 8 pound difference..thanks!

Actually Subarus offset is typically 53mm And honestly, my Subaru WINTER steel wheels and tires fit my vibe, so I am only ASSUMING that the others will fit to, but, as I stated, I would have tried tham, but the thread pich on the lugs is different between the Vibe and the Subie.. so... I'm 65% sure they would fit... Now, if I were to get some tapered seat lugs that fit the vibe, I could say for 100% sure, but, i'm not goona buy lugs, just to see...
