IS HE A 4 OR 5 LUG?

 

how much!? PM me so we dont have to close the thread

 

the work vs-xx's are straight, but the +22 is gonna be a problem up front, and you will need to run a spacer to clear the calipers (I currently have about less than a mm clearance with my +27's up front). And running a spacer on the front is gonna bring it into the teens, and you're gonna seriously run into fender clearance problems. Only way I could see it working is if you slam the car all the way to nearly the ground and tuck fingers. It's a risk though.

Work vs-xx's are available all over the place, so wait on a better fitment w/ 3x offsets.

the SSR's are NOT for our cars...that old school mesh is nasty and belongs on truenos and maybe an s13, but not on a CL. But if you want to be different...then do what you feel

Almost got these before I decided to go with 18's.


I've always been a fan of those old school enkei racing S's. Remind me a lot of the Blitz type 01's, just with less spokes. I know, I know...look similar to rota gt3's/gab sports, but I'd much rather own a set of quality enkeis than rotas any day of the week.

And that price point is very nice...you can have them refinish each wheel for another 400 and have basically brand new old school hotness w/tires for about a G. Polished spokes or gold powdercoated spokes would look hot.

 

^^^ i have those wheels right now! lol 16x7 gold

 

what the heck...serious? lol pics?

 

ill take new ones.. imma just paint these all white and my H center cap white, and keep the H red. look a like of the JDM wheels. kinda, but the enkei's have rivets

 

so you've decided what you're gonna buy? im still kinda confused lol

 

i like those SSR's

i would also look into White Regamaster EVO's. they tend to be smaller but look very good.

 

^ true.. and infamus- i might just paint my wheels for now, while im still looking for a new set!

 

do it to it (the first ones on page 1)

 

yeah rega evo's are beast

but 17" = money$$$$$$

and their offsets/widths tend to be pretty weak

 

Which wheels are you painting? If you're painting them gold, i found the perfect gold color in a spray can.

 

if the rims are already off the car, I'd say powdercoat


hand painting rims is an OK method, but its not durable and after a few miles it'll look like shit from all the paint chips

 

that's not completly acurate. I had my 17's blasted and powder coated, it still chips. a month ago i scuffed, primed and flat blacked my oem's and it has a nicer finish than the powder coat.

plus i spent 400 on the blasting/coating, the spray cans cost me 10 bucks, and i can touch them up. i drive around town all weekend doing deliveries and they aren't getting stone chips at all. just a couple scrapes around the wheel nuts from putting them on the car :o

 

not the best pic..



this is my old 16's.. the car is slammed now.. the pic was when i has springs. i want to paint them all white, and i have a "H" center cap which i will paint white and leave the H red.. what do you guys think? i got quoted 200 to PC them white..

 

i like them in that color.

 

^ what if i painted them white even the lip.. would it look ugly?

 

what will the white be matching? I think it'll look gaudy

 

I would leave them bronze, the white is gonna stick out like a 3rd nipple

 

i'd rather you paint them bright red than white, lol.

 

itll look basicaly like the white type R wheels

 

hey ack could you photo shop the wheels white for me

 

want to switch rims?

 

but mine are 16''.. show me a pic of what you have!

 

and you mean switch with my goldies, right? my volks are sold.

 

ahhh boo dont get me started on those.

personally aslong as you get something bronze it will look good with green. IMO

 

 

even though i think he should get REGAMASTERS. im dying to see those on a CL. i wish i had the money, seems like Shosinoya has more of a budget for wheels.

 

so what if i painted my 16's all bronze instead of white?

 

well i have other sh1t i need to install. like i got some alpine type r's for front and rear speakers. and i got a alpine v powered amp 4 ch. i had drilled and rotors, but i sold them. im about to seal my headlights, which ill post pics soon! and im dying for a new pager alarm. so all in all it'll be like 700 or so for the speakers and alarm.. so my wheels will have to wait for now..

 

white on green would look hot.

 

^ so bronze or white?

 

idk if a tuff decision. you should pick out of a hat. cuz im kinda being indecisive.

 

Bronze

 

+1 on bronze.

 

hey black could you photoshop my old rims bronze and then white??!
