Just ordered them like 5 minutes ago. 4x114.3 17x8 with a 25 offset.

 

that pic is mAd JdM yO!

 

this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE pic on acurazine


chris i wanna see bodyshop pics!

 

lol, I have no idea how to photochop, but I did a quicky in paint. Once I get the rims in, I'll decide how aggressive the flares really have to be. I dont want anything that stands out too much. Just something nice and subtle.

 

Lol!! I thot I was the only person in the world that does that to photos.

 

rota torque wheels?

 

or are you a baller and got work emotion wheels?

 

The rims are gonna look great, but aren't 17s kinda big and heavy for a track car?

 

yeah, I think he did . nice chris

 

They are the real Work Emotion. Sorry, thought I posted that but I guess I didnt. And so that everyone knows, they dont make the rota torque in a bigger size than 7.5 for our bolt pattern.

 

thats a crazy offset, what do you have done to your fenders?

 

Usually the optimum size would be one size bigger than stock. So 17's should be perfect. I'll be running 235's R compounds all around for grip.

 

nice.........so how much have you spent on the car so far

 

Flares, but they're not installed yet. The shop is just waiting on me to tow my car over there, and I'm waiting on my friend to ship me my coilovers, but he's waiting on my Hawk brake pads to come in. I sold my old setup to Spencer and my car is sitting on jack stands. So I'm just playing the waiting game.

 

You don't want to know...

 

I take it back, they dont even make the Rota Torque in our bolt pattern. Anyways, they dont make rims wider than 7.5 for our bolt pattern in 17's, that I know for sure.

 

How can you mispell your own name??? "Chirs"

 

LOL!! I noticed that too...I was like "wtf, what kinda name is Chirs??" By the way, those are nice rims you got there Cocoa.

 

Haha, sorry I had to post this pic.

 

Get a dyno Chris... come one... I so desperately want to see a 3.5 NA dyno

By the way Chris any plans for cams?

 

Anyone see bright gold rims on a black car? Looks hot (and not everyone has it.)

 

this thread is gold already

nice job, now you can't drive her again!

 

I like the straight up seat position. It's ok, i like your ghetto MS Paint job.

 

im glad to see somebody actually got WORK's from this site. sick fuckin choice.

what are you gonna use to track though??

 

For those of you that don't know, I never posted this pic to begin with. I believe it was Daniel (playahata) that had this pic, and wrote all that in ms paint and posted it a few years back. I do know how to spell my own name, lol.

And to answer your question 97xghost, I'll be using these rims for the track if that's what you're asking. If you're asking what tires, then it will either be: Toyo RA1's, Kuhmo V710's, Advan A005, or the Nitto NT01's. I havent really decided yet. I have hook up with the Nitto and Toyo's though.

These are my test rims btw. I bought these to see how the offset fits with the flares, see if I have any rubbing issues with the width of the tires, and to see if I get enough grip since our cars are kind of heavy. If I decide I need a slightly wider rim, then I'll go with the rim I almost bought last night. The Volk CE28N's in a 17x8.5 (they have it in our bolt pattern). Or go with the 5 lug conversion and get the Volk GTU's (not available in our bolt pattern).

We'll see how these turn out...

Btw, did I answer your question 97xghost?

 

I thought we couldn't fit 17x8 on our car, I thought 8 was too wide...

 

because he didn't make that pic. hybridnrg did.

 

It is

That's why he's flaring his fenders

 

i never did get to see the flares he ordered from starboy.

i wonder how they would look on his car when he gets em on. guess we gotta play the waiting game again

 

kind of i thought u would go with something a little smaller for teh track though.

 

Smaller? I need smaller side walls, if I go with smaller rims with short sidewalls it would look way to funny. Drag = smaller rims with soft side walls on tires. Road racing = your choice of rim size, but usually bigger than stock with hard side walls on tires.

 

Photo shop these as well..

 

dopetizzle man. Cant wait to see those rims in a few months..

 

DAMNIT! They are on back order because they dont carry those in that bolt pattern in stock. They are ordering them from Japan and it will take 60-90 days to receive. That SUCKS! I better get these before the meet on the 30th of June...

 

those rims are sick. sucks about back order. i hate that

 

Volks for the track? You're a very baaaaaaaad man

 

Hey Cocoa, if you want lightweight wheels and the ordered ones don't get there in time, look into these PacerSport Wheels . They are very light (13 ~ 16 lb each), forged and they look good!

 

not wide enough and not the offset i was looking for based on what you just should me...

 

 

Man, I just got done unbolting everything to change my clutch. One of the bolts would not come off for the life of it. And then I remembered, righty tighty, lefty loosy. I had it mixed up because when I went under the car, and the direction changed on me, lol. Silly me...

Only thing holding my tranny now is my tranny mount and 2 jacks. I'll take pics this weekend for you guys.
