Default Niche Targa's

After about a year of countless hours spent looking at different aftermarket wheels online and on other cars I think I have decided what I want.

I think my car will look really nice in a set of Niche Targas. Here's a stupid question:

19 X 8.5 + 35MM Offset 245/40/19 Front
20 X 10 + 40MM Offset 285/30/20 Rear

Anyone else try a staggered set up like this one? Or should I go either 19's or 20's on all 4.

Only other decision I need to make is color. Not sure about black wheels with black car...But right now I'm more concerned about proper fitment.

Also, for those of you that purchased the Niche wheels, What lug nuts will work best?

I personally like black on black for the stealth look. The staggered look is pretty mean with a 1.5" drop all around. I ended up with the RTR wheels so I can still rotate my tires.

Also I recommend getting the small diameter lug nuts by gorilla. I had the RTR lugs but tire shops marked my wheels all up with those.

I have 19's in the front and 20's in the rear love the look, but I can't rotate the tires.

I'm leaning towards the black Targas and the 19/20 staggered fitment. I have a > 1.5" drop now that the springs have fully settled and not liking how the rear tires are sunk in. I'm waiting another month or so to wear my tires down as far as I can stand it then I'll buy the new wheels.

The next problem will be selling the premium wheels that are on the car now...Nobody like them. lol

The 19/20 setup will look great. Do it!

I have the Niche Targas 20x10 +40 with Nitto invo 285/30/20 on all four. Just needed a small 3mm spacer on the front to clear the brembos. I have some gorilla acorn lugs on mine.

Finally ordered the Niche Targa's and the tires and will have them installed on Friday. Went with 20X8.5 Front and 20X10 Rear. Went with 275 in the rear because the tire height is the closest to stock. 285 was 1" shorter. Was a tough decision between the silver or the anthracite but I went with the silver.

Can't wait...

The manager at this one is doing the mounting/balancing. He's one of the good guys. And I get to hang out in the shop and watch.

That's good news. I hate it when people don't care about what they are doing. Especially when u spend countless hours debating on what to spend ur pennies on. Which one is this? And what's his name? Might actually use my lifetime free rotation I paid for... lol

Floor was done with Epoxy Coat. I spent a whole week prepping it because the previous owners did a piss poor job painting it. Got the stuff from epoxycoat.com and I think Lowe's sells it online now.

I'm pretty happy with the wheels. Stock ones seemed kind of sunk in after I lowered the car. Plus, I didn't really like the stock (Black Premium) wheels much. I spent at least a year looking at wheels before finally pulling the trigger. I'm pretty picky. These have the perfect offset and are almost flush with the top of the panels. Not as much concave as some of the others but you can definitely tell that they are staggered. The pictures just don't do it justice. Looks better in person.

Back


Front


Rear Tire


Front Tire


Only trade off is that they are heavier than stock which will make Pokey even slower. They look mean but I will need to add some boost to back it up, lol. Another con is the bright silver color will make it a brake dust catcher but I already have a high maintenance color (black) and have to wash the SOB almost weekly anyway.

They look good man. I definitely recommend this http://www.autogeek.net/daytona-special.html to clean your wheels quicker.
