Took the plunge...new wheels

[Sawbladz]

Well, now that I have paid for the wheels and they have shipped I figured I would share my newest purchase with you.

Stern 5 spoke
17x8 +25 front
17x9 +39 rear

These should sit 4mm further out than the regular 8.5 +35 that many people are running. I think they should fit well and be VERY flush. Might require rolling of the fenders but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Anyways...PICS:

I haven't got them yet so these are from the site I bought them from. rbmotoring.com

Now what to do about your username....

meh, I haven't had sawblades on my car for a year or so and I see no reason to change it. I'm really excited about these wheels. Finally I get to buy some 275's.

Akito: I'll post pictures as soon as I get tires but I need to sell some stuff before I can pay for them.

Cryo: Get your bro to buy my wheels and I will

I've been looking for wheels like this for a while. I wouldn't have bought wheels at all had I not found these exact ones.

 

[MKIIINA]

they will fit and look great! congrats man. what kinda tire are ya gonna be running?

 

[Sawbladz]

Not sure but price is a factor. I like these...http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&place=14

Or I will buy the Avon 500's that are on sale on Tirerack right now. I can't buy anything though till I sell my old wheels.

sick.nice find

Those are ok, these are better: http://www.tiretrends.com/catalog2.php3?tireID=478

275 is going to be scary close in the rear. I'm lowered on ST springs, with a 17x9 +35 in the rear, 275 width 40 series tires, and it's DAMN close. Full tank of gas makes me nervous whenever I see any kind of bump, and I'm careful to turn at low speeds. Yours will be 4mm closer yet...

the kumho MX's are pretty damn nice

when are you gonna be driving it? year round in rain?

I'd get ASX's in that case... (or the SPT's if you're a bit strapped for cash, I love mine, no issues at all in the rain)

 

[MKIIINA]

/\ ditto, running kuhmo asx's and its my favorite tire thus far on the supras. like them even better than the old bridgestone potenzas

 

[Poodles]

the ONLY issues I've ever had with kumhos is they like to go brown pretty quick (nothing a good scrubbing with simple grean and some tire shine doesn't take care of)

Nice!...:love: You got those from RB Motoring didn't you? I saw a set there, that had the 'sale pending' marker on them just the other day.:icon_razz

 

[ViR2]

looks great

 

[SupaMan]

those are hot pics on the car when you get tires!

 

[Imnotcreative72]

This man has taste!!! I'm glad you found a set. Trust me, they will look good :biglaugh:
