    Default Stuck on wheels....which one's should i go with?

    For my temp wheels i picked up a set of Racing Hart C2's, owner stated they are both 5x114.3 and 5x100...negative...only 5x114.3 and 4x114.3. So i'll have to buy a 15-20mm 5x100 to 5x114.3 stud adapter (safe?) to make them fit. Now I just came across these old school 3pc Volks that are 5x100 that i like too so i am torn, which wheels?

    18x7.5 Racing Harts with adapter (Then i'll be able to put these on pretty much any car lol)



    OR
    17x8 3pc Volk GR-C


    Racing Hart's look sick on the suby, but adapters scare me, plus all the adapter are atleast 15-20mm, and cost $180 hnoes:.

    i am just worried to use the 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapters, because i am gonna be tracking the car with the wheels (tracking only for 1 day). Plus the adapters are atleast 15-25mm so if i use Racing Hart's (42mm)...i'll come down to 27-22mm on offset (not so good for Suby).

    yea Lil Tally, pretty much need whee's and tires for those. My stock 16x6.5 with close to bald tires aren't up for it, 19's will be pointless. If someone can lend me some wheels, that will be freakin awesome.

    I don't like either too much but I'd take the racing harts over the Volks. The Volks just dont go with the car.

    if i don't come upon better set, i might be dubbin on the volks for a week or so, since Racing Harts need 5x100 to 5x114.3 adapters and those can't be safe when i am doing speeds and on track....wheel going off at 100+ isn't fun

    P.S
    I really don't how the wheel looks since they'll only be on for 2 days, i just need some i can track and push the car on. Then wheels will come off and for sale.

    I'd say go with the Racing Harts...I don't think the Volks would work so well with the Subaru.

    if you dont really care how they look, and you feel unsafe with the adapters, then go for the volks
