I think that I have narrowed my rim dilemma to the following two sets for my Cosmic BLue Matrix XRS, either 18x7.5 RH EVO CP10's in silver or 18x8 OZ Superlegerra's. What do you guys think would look best? I am also thinking that i will get 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 tires. What kind of tires, I was thinking of Kuhmo 712's or maybe Toyo T1-s. I want to get rims before I lower it because I am waiting for Progress Coilovers and they won't be out for awhile. Help me out. If anyone could photoshop those rims on a Cosmic Blue Matrix, that would help.

C'mon people help me out, what about some RH EVO C5's, if not the CP10's or SLG's. Respond please.

you see, superlegs only look good on certain cars.. Subarus being the top of the list

the matrix is tall enough as it is, and the legs will only make it look taller.

get something w/o as many long thin spokes.

SSR comps or Volk TE 37s if i had a matrix :smile:

I agree... I dont know how good will look on a matrix... I think you should stick to 6 spokes or less.

Also, those are both excellent tire choices but not in the same class by far. The Kumhos are a great deal for the money, but the T1-S are just amazing tires, period.

As for the color of the wheel.. I think silver would be the cleanest look. If you're gonna lower it, then definitely go for the 18's.

So would the C5 evo or M5 evo look better. I don't know that I can afford the Volks or SSR comps in a 18 inch size. I want something that is fairly light, any other suggestions?

Actually, if you get the sunroof option like I did with my XRS, you only get the 16x7 inch with 205/55/16 all season tires which suck.

bump, help me out with rim suggestions that will look good, besides volks or ssr comps, dont have the cash for those. What about axis sevens in gunmetal, not light, at 24 lbs, but not extrememly heavy. I was wanting something lighter. Has anyone seen Mille Miglia Ht3's, what is the weight? Ple3ase help, I am anxious to get rims.

Mille Migila MM11-2 looks alright SSR comps in 17s aren't that much more than 18 Oz superlegs dude.

Lafora, can you photoshop some rims on there for me, I don't have photoshop, I would really like to see how some rims look. SSR comps are crazy expensive in 18x8 which is the size I would want, more than 450 a wheel.

What does everyone think about the new Centerline RPM, in a 18x7.5 in silver would look sweet on a MAtrix. They only weigh a little over 14 lbs.
