    I'm looking at getting a new set of rims ASAP. I got my car back with the suspension stuff fixed but because of that bad rim it is driving pretty scary. I'm looking at possibly getting a set of 17" ADR Sokudo's(Silver) matched with a tire of my choice or 18" ADR M-Sport (HMC Silver) which already have Toyo Proxes(sp.?) on them. Any advantages or disadvantages of going with 17" or 18" rims(01 RS had 16" stockers)? I can have the 18" installed possibly tomorrow but I can order the others and have them in a week. The only other rims I've looked at were OZ/Prodrive and BBS which are a little more than I want to spend on a car with 100k+ miles on it. Any advice? I needed these rims on like yesterday [xx(]

    Ebay might be helpful. I got my spare MY00-01 wheel from Subiegal off ebay for $40 +shipping.

    Just checked ebay - nothing for RS spares on there. The ADR rims I can get through Midwest Auto Salon in AV for a good price through Neef on the board here. Any words of wisdom or another brand I should perhaps be checking? ADRwheels.com is the website for those rims...any opinions on the two and which might look better on an RS?

    Have you looked at ROTA wheels? Subydude.com sells them and sells them well. The ones on my wagon in the picture below are the ROTA BOOSTS. those are 17x8. I think there are smaller ones too maybe, maybe not.

    What do you plan on doing autox? Regular street? 18 look nice, but to auto x, go 17. Try the rota if price is an issue, or check out cheapwheels.com, they had a nice set of gold technomagnesio for a very good price!!
