I am not sure if my first pick will fit the car at a +35 mm offset. But here is the link to it, an MSR wheel at 18"x8". These would be in Anthracite or they call it hyper grey.

Choice 2 would be the Borbet type xl, 17"x7.5".

my third choice is the Team Dynamics PR1 or PR1.2 in 18"x8" or 17"x8" in high power silver.

any input would be appreciated.

Those msr rims look exactly like bbs rims my brother had on his wrx. I think they look the best.
After seeing the svt rims on a sho, I think they look great, but it seems they're hard to find.

I like the first ones. And the first 2 color options.

I have always liked the TD wheels. Kenny's (Notsoslowsho) titanium 89 with black Pr1's 17" looks saweet!!!!

Thanks for the input guys. I am really leaning toward the MSR's. These will be going on a mocha '91 (my S/C'd SHO). My Titanium is no more. I was hit last October and it was a writeoff.

Really diggin the MSR's, but I like the TD's, too. Or the 17x8 5Zigen wheels on ebay. :evilgrin: I have the silver 5Zigen's on my white 91+ and they look really good.

I kind of like the Borbet wheels, although I'd have to see a SHO with them on to really make up my mind

what kind of condition is your car's body in? is it lowered? what do you do with the car? cruise/street/dd or race?

The car is from Florida, it was chris' SHO (Superchargedshoguy). There is no rust, but a couple of spots on the roof where the clear is cooked. It will be lowered with Koni/Intrax in about 2 weeks. This is now my daily driver, but I will drag it once and a while.

+35 is not positive enough for an 8" wheel under our cars though, no? I have 18x8" +40 TD wheels, and they are close on the inside, but clear nicely to the fenders.


cheers

Another vote for Team Dynamics :munch:
Stick with 38mm-40mm offset

This a picture view of a 35mm offset wheel on a GenII.
