Is it just me or do those wheels look like 16"s?

Other than that, car looks beautiful. Now drop it.

JMTL

heh wow just noticed that too...in the driverside it looks that way, but in the passengerside pic the rear rim looks bigger than the front rim . maybe im cracking up, anyway dunno if im gonna drop it, im kind of a wreckless driver and dont always remember to slowly enter steep driveways/speed bumps . im probably gonna get 02 tails and clear my headlights this summer though.

BlueXTC

yea... they look really small for 18inch

paultl

have you consider HR oe springs?

i never scratch and i have oem kit too


only drops it 1"

JMTL

was thinking about the oe, arent the hr sport springs a regular spring in the front and an oe spring in the back, i dont like the raked look if i was gonna drop it i would do an even drop

JMTL

i noticed about them looking small and think its because i wasnt shooting the pictures straight on err im getting paranoid gonna have to go look at them in case someone switched them out

the wheels look smaller when there's no drop, the illusion from the gap makes the wheels smaller. Looks good, I like those wheels.

JMTL

hmm well that does make sense i noticed that its looks like the gap and tire are about the same color so it makes it look smaller hmm maybe i need to drop my car . are the hr oe springs an even drop? if not i might try the sport springs

Get the H&R Sports if the roads are in good condition where you live (even if you are a reckless driver)

Check the specs on the tire. It should read something like 2xx/xx/18. If the last number is not 18, then something went wrong.

JMTL

i checked earlier there 18's so no one swapped wheels with me but now im thinking about getting springs in a couple months after all the replies

Love my 99

Looks good--it will look great after you drop it...Eibach Sportline $187.?? minus shipping right now on eBay

BlackShadow

Yea, it is screaming for a drop cause the wheels do look small for 18s.

Don't forget to get the 02 tails and clear the lights asap!

JMTL

hey i thought the wheels and car looked fine till i posted here, now guess what i think i've got the mod bug again you bastards :thefinger:

BlackShadow

Welcome to our hell!

Because of this site, I am $10K+ poorer.:thefinger

JMTL

heh you must have the hidden chemical weapon version of the mod bug, mine is a lot milder than yours.

BlackShadow

Likewise, mine is a lot milder than some of the guys on here.:p

goldendragon576

not me, I just got Tein SS coilovers!! Binh, I'm not longer on stilts!!!! I'm only about 6k poorer.

blk_tl

How much did you pay for the wheels?

JMTL

1450 or so mounted, i believe you can get them dirt cheap at www.c-c-c.net look under suspension, i think there 184 a piece plus 25 shipping per tire so...836 total? not bad at all thats less than i paid .

BLaCk Acc

DROPPP THAT SHITT!!
my friends got 19s on his rsx and they looked like 17s or 18s, now he dropped it and them bitches look hugeee like 20s or somethin, looks a lot bigger once its dropped!

I personally would of dropped it before putting the rims on

vipvop

drop!

JMTL

:thefinger: bastards i was happy with my ride till i posted here now im ordering springs, 02 tails and getting ready to clear my headlights . also thinking about getting rid of the ugly lighting inside with the led mod.

TL_99

the rims look small because it has a thick polished lip on the perimeter. Also, the center 5 spoke design concaves or curves into the center of the wheel making a false illusion that it looks small. Also, like ppl said before, the car isn't dropped, thus the huge gap influences how u see the wheels

wow, i wish i had disposable income. lol. slowly but surely...

BlackShadow

Damn, about time. Can't wait to see it at a meet.
