I just bought tein basic coilovers for the CL I need your guys opinion on this. What sized rims would look best on the CL thats lowered? I want some 17inch ones but my friend said 16s also look pretty nice. I think 18 are too huge but i don't know. Oh, and i'm looking into some Work XD9s or some XC8s thanks for the tips and opinions! Maybe bronze or the shiny metal buff ? i dunno! I need experts!
These are the XC8s


Here are the XD9s!

Oh and, i used this website called live.com, sponsored by windows/microsoft, to get 30% off my purchase from eBay! Just a tip if you guys want to ever use it.

 

XC8's for sure, 17 would be a good size with a drop, I would get bronze, but the polished is sexy too, the XC8's are more of an original style

 

i like bronze on white, im not a big fan of shiny shit anymore. xc8's are beautiful. both choices are nice. id go 17's with a car thats tuckin tire.

 

lol chris i like your avatar.

xc8's FTFW!!!!!!!!!!!!...


i will sell my soul to the devil for an 18 inch set of those

 

bronze XD9's.

 

bronze ftw

 

actually, i think i like the XD9's more. a lot cleaner.

 

bronze xc8's

 

17's & 18's are the best sizes for our car IMO.. 18's seem like a decent size to me, i'd get 17's but then again i'd be to scared to slam my car wit them haha and as for color bronze would look clean so i vote bronze

 

haha sounds like bronze is a winner But it's so hard to decide! The XD9s are so clean, and the bronze color on looks better than the XC8s. I am definitely leaning towards the bronze XC8s though! Thanks for the advice guys, oh, and are there any acurazine members that go to UC davis? lol i may have seen a CL from this forum there

 

gl on the rims quest. i think 18's would be better for the drop because u'll get a little bit more ground clearance, plus rims start to look small after u get used to it.

I don't go to UC Davis, but i have some friends that go there and I come up there sometimes. I park on the streets ahah.

 

I'd go with the XD9's in bronze...

How do the Tein's ride?

 

haha i see, i may have seen your car Newbee, how often do you come to davis?

 

um, sometimes 3times a week, sometimes 1 time a month. lol. depends if there's something going on.

and..
x2

 

bronze xd9s forsure, those look so sick i might be interested in getting some myself next year

 

those are 5-lug our cars are 4-lug...am i missing something here??

 

im sure there offered in 4x114. but maybe not. tuff lug pattern.

 

bronze xd9's

 

tein coilovers and work wheels.

i like your style.

 

oh, the works come in 4x114 dont worry lol. I wouldn't consider them if they didn't haha @dragon084 thanks man haha i'm still new at this, i was so lucky on the coilovers though! i got 200 off of it bwahahah brand new work wheels is something i needa work really hard for. Since i don't have a gf anymore im ballin

 

also a quick question, do you think ingalls camber kit would work well with the teins? the 200 i am getting back, i'm putting into the camber kit and realignment

 

The the bronze XD9s look hot. Only go 18 if you plan on slamming the shit out of it, otherwise it looks awkward.

BTW, wanna PM the secret of getting 200 of teins? haha

 

ebay. MS live 30% back.

 

Wow nice thanks for the info... Really makes me want to pull the trigger on D2s, but it would have to go on the credit card. So tempting though.

 

Agreed.

 

haha yeah oit works man! i used it to buy them, thats the only reason why i got them!!! my freind told em me about them, but iono how long they gonna last dude so see what happens

 

man your gonna get my rims.

when i sleep i dream about bronze staggered xd's.

 

cant find the ebay link on live search anymore. must be gone.

i like the polish xc8's. im not gonna tell you what rim size to get bc its really just a personal choice. look at different size rims and then decide what you like. i didnt do that i just shoved the biggest f***ing rims i could on my car

ps 19"s look great, 20"s look even better....

 

@blind shooter : oh, for the live search thing, you gotta set up an account right? then after that you needa verify email address, and i think you have to have an ebay account. afterwards, when all ur shit is confirmed, go to live.com and then on the top right area, there's a link called " cashback" click on it, sign in with the account you JUST made. after that, just search whatever you want. If it's on eBay you can pretty much get 30% back. It takes 2 months to come back though, and you need a paypal account. They do that so if you wanna return your items, you don't get your 30% discount. You know you are doing it right when on the top of eBay, it says Microsoft cashback 30% off,see conditions, or something like that and you can only buy buy it now stuffs haha. eBay will also send you a notification saying you will egt your money back, and theres a maximum limit of geting 200$ back. its worth it to try, i did it, and i should be getting it in 2 months.

here's a pic of what it looked like when i bought mine just so you know how to do it. the area that says microsoft cashback 30% when you are about to buy it shows you are doing it right, and you HAVE to pay with paypal or else it won't work

 

Can you pay with a credit card on Paypal and still get the cash back?

 

yeah, as long as you pay with it through paypal it is all good haha

 

Damn... so tempted. My suspension is shit and needs to be changed anyway, I just don't have the money. I'm in debt anyway, so what's another $600 right? haha...

 

haha after the tein purchase, i am completely broke! but i think a few weeks starvation is worth it for those coilovers.

 

Depending on which Tein set up you plan on going with, the ingalls alignment kit will work. Either way way the kit will be fine. I'm running Tein HA coilover Suspension With ingalls Control Arm Anchor bolts and Adjustable Rear control arms w/upper ball joints and it rides pretty good. Also running 18s so I could lower if I wanted to but it's all good.

 

@Mr_Xclusive808: thanks for the tips, i won't be able to afford ingalls for at least another month or so, so by winter my car will be dropped and i'll have new pics to show

 

bronze is so ugly imo

 

XD9s for sure cause they match well with white! you should definitely get 18's cause no one ever gets complimented on how small their rims are! 16's are corny no matter how cool you think the wheels look and 17's are ok depending on which rims you pic! and make sure those rims come in 4 lug.

 

hahaha damn, so i guess 18s it is. I do love the XD9s as well, and they are cheaper I really wish i could like RENT the rims for an hour, just to do a photoshoot. The XC8s are like 2gs and theXD9s are like 1.4 haha so i needa figure it out. Anyone here know how to photoshop the rims onto the car so i can have a feel for what the rims look like on it?

 

in 17". Those are exactly the rims I would get if I had the money.

 

If you're looking for someone to photoshop, PM zeroCl...
