Those of you on the other site have seen this by now, but figured id share it with you guys as well... Should be here tomorow

 

you bought one wheel?

 

Yep thats how all the real ballers do it... Buy one wheel, and unpainted body kit... hot as hell

Common man what do you think...? I ordered all 4....The Wheels should be here tomorow

 

what kind?

 

I was going to guess 1/4 of a wheel. Maybe Memphis is smuggling the wheels out of the factory one 1/4 at a time.



So, when do we get to see the whole wheel? Better yet, post pics when mounted. They look pretty nice from the peek you gave us.

 

looks like kosei k1-ts, very light wheels!

 

^

how light?

 

16lb for 18in? my wife has 16" Kosei K1 Racings and they are incredibly light

 

Actually there only 13.7 lbs for the 17s I ordered... Hopefully Ill have pics by Sat Night for you guys...

 

Those should look good Memphis.

 

very nice.

13.7lbs for 17's, i think, is very good.

the lightest i found (and affordable for me), for 17x8, were motegi traklite's @ 14.5lbs/rim...

 

Beat me to it

 

And one bolt!

What's with the teaser? You still running a 386 on a 400x600 VGA monitor?

 

and im goin to second that Kosei guess
mmmm dual valve stems hehe

 

Reading this, I think there should be a "Name that Wheel" contest, kinda like "Name that Tune." Hahaha.

 

The 13.7 is only a 17x7. I would at least get the 17x8 which is only 15.4 lbs.

 

you guys know how much the 04-05 rim weighs?

 

24lbs

 

why the dual valve stems though?

 

The '06 wheels weigh 20.5, but they're more boring looking than 04-05.

 

The '06 stockers are 4 lbs lighter? Damn. Another reason the car is quicker than 04-05.

 

Fixed

 

Harsh. Personally I love the look of the 2006 stockers. They're really elegant. The only fit I have are the crappy tires, which cost 240.00 to replace. Hot DayuM.

But then again, I want a set of 04 stockers to paint flat black.

 

But all Acuras are "under-tired" and come with crappy tires.

 

If you're serious about that, I've got a set of '04 stock wheels I'll be selling as soon as I get my Kosei's. You can PM me (tried PMing you but your inbox is full).

 

First of all let me say i know they won't void my warranty or contract and i know i need a rear camber kit, so the reason of the post is to get some opinions of what coilovers i should narrow it down to.

The car is the wifes during the week and mine on the weekend

here's a list of what i need to take into consideration during my purchase:

1 - ride quality(as close to stock to keep the wife happy)
2 - performance(establish better handling w/o hindering #1)
3 - rubbing(plan on adding 18's in the next year or so no rub)
4 - quality(want them to hold up for the remaining 3 yrs of the lease)
5 - accesability(i've seen the sustecs were on BO)
6 - pricing(i don't want the cheapest, but i'm not paying top dollar either)

the ones i hear the most on hear about are tein and tanabe, but I also see h&r and even the ksports listed in the general forum sticky post...................so which one would best fit my situation in your opinion, what's the best price out there for each and if there are any more please let me know.


I am doing my research now way ahead of my 06 tax return so I can show the wife the plan of action for the car b/c it is hers and I would have to take it from her for a while to do all my mods to it that would include lowering it and the complete 06 EuroR kit/grille/emblems & maybe a RSB

 

Tomorrow was a long time ago!! Got any full pics of the wheel set up. Getting antzy, want to see them!

 

what do you mean?... you saw the other thread?

 

Oh yeah! You're right, I did. I guess I didn't member

 

Damn those are light.. pictures please... and what tires you putting on them and how much do they weigh???
