My new wheels:)

DRKNYTE that looks awesome, I love those wheels. I've been looking at those same rota grids for a while now.
I got a quick Q cause I'm a n00b when it comes to offsets and tires. Would I be able to fit the same wheels but with a more aggressive offset, to make it look more concave? I guess I'd love to have a look like this here.
Is 44mm offset for this particular rim is the max we can do? Or will a 30-25mm fit as well?

Looks good DRKNYTE!! I think the lugs go really good with the bronze. I think another color just might stick out too much imo.
You need this Sphinter! We both have black cars and I would love to have this setup that Dazed_and_confused has. They are 18x9.5 + 38 Rota G-Force in hyperblack on 235/40/18 but you need to roll the fenders and heat them up and pull em out like he states. Prob a lot of work but (humpleg)

Flat black does not look good on that Forester.

Bingo!!! That's exactly what I had in mind, that looks sooo sick!!! I'm willing to go through the trouble to make it look like that. Thanks for pitching in advise jay32m, and it was good seeing you again today.
Sport6, you completely missed the point of that pic. Forget the forester, look at the wheels.

I like it.
WOW that white speed 3 looks so sick...... that's the look I was going for but from reading all these fitment threads I thought it would never work with such a crazy offset and that wide of a rim. I played it safe and still have some what of a concave look. I`m like you guys, I think that concave look is pure sex!!!
Sphincter: jay32m pretty much summed it up on what you have to do to make it fit those more aggressive offsets. I did roll my fenders to make room for some 245/40/18 next summer.
jay32m: Thanks homey, red lugs on bronze is over done, black lugs are just to unnoticable, so these Neo Chro ones I thought were perfect. By the way, what do you mean by pull the fenders.... like literaly grab that rear quarter panel and pull it out? And do you have more pics of that White speed 3?

Im not sure if you really need to pull them out bc it all depends on how low you are. This guy is on coilovers and lowers the car as low as he can...how it's supposed to be done lol. Here are some more pics of the car. He is on the other forum if you want more info. His name is dazed_and_confused he will be able to tell you more.

They are actually Rota Grids 18x9.5 +38, which is fairly aggressive, but it does look awesome!
Nate your car looks amazing with the new Grids. I'm glad your enjoying them and the color combination has to be one of my favorites! (2thumbs)

Just another suggestion- I found Testors Model Lacquer at a local hobby store that came in a black metallic color. It nearly matches the body. One can of color and one can of the clear should be enough for both 'M'. You may think it looks cleaner than just traditional gloss or flat black.
Maybe you can find a nice bronze color as well. For under 15 bucks you could have all the emblems painted in a day. Good luck and keep rocking the Black Mica! There aren't a whole lot of 'em on here that really stick out (Babyface? I think?).

Someone might want to let him know about directional tires... Ehh, maybe he just drives in reverse wherever he goes.
