Show me those rims

[Orion ZyGarian]

Kuhmo Supras. No question.

My good friend's car. I dont think they look as good IRL, but they arent bad nonetheless

 

[GrimJack]

Falken Azenis Sport. Yum!

Unless you detest road noise... they handle like a wet dream though - sticky as hell in the morning.

mkiii-1jz - yeah RBMotoring, but won't arive until 12th of September.

Almost bought a set of 17x8 all around 2 years ago, glad I waited for the staggered set. But damn, looked up tire prices and it's gonna cost a pretty penny 500+ to wrap them in BFG KDW2's unless someone's got another recommendation.

Grim Jack - what sizes for the staggered? 17x8 and 17x9?

Wulfstan;
Very nice rims bro! I can see why you waited so long! I have a recomendation for tires, but it is dependent on wwhat you want to do with your car. If you want a good crisp response for cornering, try and stay with the optimum sizes the tire dealers recommend for the rims. For example; 8 inchers, a 225, or a 235. For the 9's, a 255, or a 265. If you go with a huge stagger, say a 225 on the front, and 275's on the rear, the car will understeer more. If you don't mind that, and want a more drag race look, I'd say that 235's f, and 275's rear is the ticket. I just did that same stagger on mine,(in 18's) with Falken Azenis ST-115's, and I love them! :love: Not as sticky as my Yokohama's I used to have, but way smoother, and quieter! They don't look as wide as the Yoko's either, that part I don't like! :nono: If you stay with a 40 series on the rear, it will afford you a little better straight line traction also. Good luck, and post some more pic's when you have everything done.

Exactly.

 

[wulfstan]

91T breezen - thanks for the info and opinion. :thumbup:

I think I'm gonna go ahead with your initial suggestion with the following sizes: Rear - 255/40-17 and Fronts - 225/45-17. Now to decide on the rubber. Falken, Yoko, BFG, Pirelli, or other. With this purchase tho, I also have a set of 17" that I will end up selling. More to follow in the Parts section :biglaugh: when I get my Enkei's. Here they are for viewing:

Wow!


















Next time, take the pic at 10 am, not 10 pm; so we can actually see them

 

[malloynx]

i just had real crappy lighting. i'll get better pics.

 

[TopSecret]

My bf is in love with OZ Superleggera forged... so he wants them for "Christine".

I'm thinking about buying them but I sure as hell can't figure out how much it would cost me... ya well.

 

[GrimJack]

TopSecret - about $325 each if you go 17", and about $430 each if you go 18". Canadian prices, of course, no shipping or duties, just regular sales tax on top of that.

 

[Prez420]

just got my Stern ST1 Beasts 18x9 with 235/40/18 all around.

 

[Prez420]

oops...double post

 

[wulfstan]

Finally got the rims mounted and on the car. 235/45-17 all around for now, wrapped around ENKEI RS-Evolution 17x8 Fronts and 17x9 Rears. Before and After Pics

Now got to go out and find a good picture location to show them off. And yes those are blue lug nuts. I probably should have gotten black but I think they look good on the car. Can't wait to get my springs as well to lower the 4x4.

 

[marcbeatty]

Wow, I forgot how high they look w/ stock suspension.
