Nukka's wheels.

His car looks good but not my style of wheel. I like the style of your 19's. Something simple. I've found some I'd really like to get but the specs are 17x7 w/40 offset and I'm guessing (since searching and posting) I'll rub and/or they'll stick out. This high offset shit irritates the hell out of me.

RJ's would be my #1 choice if $$$ wasn't an issue. Remember, I just flushed a nice chunk of it down the drain on this set of 19's that I don't like. If someone wants to sell me a set of 17" Servo's hit me up! Yes, I said 17"...

RJ's will still look hot even in that size. i personally would go w/Inspyres, but i guess you now know what you want.

I think NiteQ is selling his servos trying to get a set of 1pf devotions. PM him to find out details.

If my Rezax isn't really your style then I doubt you'll like the Volk IIIs.

Yeah, Inspyres I like the best but they don't come in 17's. Only 18"+.

Why 17"? What's the point of upgrading, if you're not upgrading in size, too? Not hatin' yet, just courious.

Ride quality and a slightly different look that will set it apart from the rest. Mostly ride quality though. It handled WAY better on the stockies w/ 235/45/17's. I'm not as confident when throwing the car into a curve with the 19's. - I like curves. Oh, and the 235/45/17's are brand new and the stock wheels are beat to hell.

I think you need a RWD car if you like curves that much.

True, and in all reality (IMHO) no american muscle car corners very well. You have to get an import of some sort for that. American muscle = Go fast as hell in a straight line, stop at the light, repeat as neccessary!

C5's+ can actually handle, unlike the majority of American cars.

but compare that C5 to majority of the imports that handle, and you're in a totally different ballpark.

I have those exact wheels in gloss black on my nhb type-s I love the look but i have cracked two rims already one was on the way to Mclaren's house to get my headlights done. They do look sick but they are very easy to crack especially in nyc. I have them off for the winter but if i still have the car by the summer i will post pics with them on.

To an extent I agree. However, there are people here who can not always afford the best or are cheap bastards (including myself) but want something different. So, it's not always a bad thing, really.

Aesthetically I agree with you.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the car is subjective and wheels are just wheels. However, as the aforementioned stated, he CRACKED multiple rims rather than it being bent; which is what would've happened had he bought a higher quality wheel.

Performance wise? I disagree.
"Cheap bastards" who want something different shouldn't even bother buying headers. Long story short, CT > *.

I didn't even know you bought headers my friend.

With a little bit of luck and probably re-welding whatever trash on there right now, you might actually have a decent set of headers.


































or not.

My initial reaction is and I suggest you toss them. According to the other thread - SunDy over there mentioned the rims were trash anyway - I don't really see point to keeping them.

Junk 'em and buy my wheels already. I'll even dip them in black chrome for ya.
