Looking forward to the wheels Chris! I have a feeling they're going to be sick. You definitely need to drop her a little after you put 'em on. And do that pulley too! I definitely look at the ride when driving by windows...or a clean dark-colored car LOL! Gotta see it moving...especially after the Endless BBK. I've still gotta figure out what to do with that Ron Jon certificate I won at the National Meet. Thinking about maybe getting the Legends in Graphite Machined, we'll see. In for pics of the new setup!

 

Haha I am guilty of the reflection watching too! Glad it aint just me.

A Twin in A-TOwn?!? OH NOOOOS!

Glad I got new wheels than



I prolly wont be lowering her till next year.
Gotta start saving for my wedding

Pulley will happen this year for sure though.


Better get on that RJ certificate! They have a whole bunch of new styles and stuff now. Try something new! We gotta get a local meet together soon see lots of new mods of everyone's rides!

 

I'm down for set #7 if you do.....

 

Less tease more reveal!

 

Sure, ill oblige

HAPPY FRIDAY

i agree that we need to setup a meet.

 

I win! What do I get?

Wheels look soooooo good! Specs?

 

Wheels look great, much better than the previous ones

Congrats!

Are they the new Ron Jon's?

 

You get to awe at their full beauty!

Thanks

These are RJ's 18x8 Rev Graphite Metallic wheels with a custom KBP finish.


Can't wait till they get here

 

Oh I thought you had them what is the offset?

 

Haha <- this guy is teh funneh.

Nice I am reallllllly excited to see em dude! What tires are you going with? x2 on offset.

 

Whoa those wheels look SICK

When are they getting mounted?

 

+32 Offset, should be here any day now, I believe they were shipped when he sent me the pics


Will prolly get them mounted the day I get them or shortly after.

 

Sick dude...those look really good. Definitely want to see them on the car.

And you're DEFINITELY going to want a drop after you get 'em on...trust me. Just sayin.

 

Happy Friday indeed! Yes, they're nice wheels. Now, let's see them on the car.

 

I'm with Zach that you'll want a drop after putting those wheels on.

I dropped mines after getting the Rev's

 

+32

Can't wait man! +1 on drop!

 

Nice wheels! Btw I live in a-town.

 

So quick update. Wheels came in last Friday, and I took them to Discount Tire by my house to get mounted Saturday, but there was a bit of a problem....

Long story short, they wouldn't clear the brembos; were barely knicking them. I got in touch with Rondy at RonJon and we figured out that my rotors are a few milimeters thicker than stock rotors (two pieces) so therefore wheels will not clear without some help.

I ordered 4 hub/wheel centeric 3mm spacers to solve the problem. They should be here this week.

While I was measuring how much of a spacer I needed, I snapped a cell pic:



Hopefully really have them on soon!

 

Those are going to look great once the spacers help out the caliper issue!

Have you thought about removing or redoing the Type-S on the calipers. They are a bit "blingy" and face the wrong way

 

Yea, ive been thinking about that. The chrome didn't turn out the way I thought it would, maybe white brembo logos? I didn't like how it looked the other way, than I look at all the other brembo brakes and their logos are all the other way and I am like WTF!

 

It happens man.

Silver or gunmetal Brembo logos would look great behind those sexy wheels

 

Can't wait to see those wheels mounted up! They are going to look great. Brembo decal FTW!

 

sucks you couldn't get them mounted, its gonna look great once you do.

you, me, and zach should get together for a photoshoot after you get your wheels. i got a couple new mods on the way, one should be arriving tomorrow and the other some time next week.

 

Cool lookin wheels, can't wait to see em mounted.
I agree on the decal...brembo all day.

Overall, it's coming together nicely. Did I miss where you're going to lower? or no?

 

KBP

Sucks when you run into issues like that. It'll be worth the wait though!

 

how much do those puppies cost?

 

Dude, those are going go look nice. Sorry you had issues, but looking forward to finished pics.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone, it kills me to see these in their boxes sitting in my living room, not looking like the spacers will be done this week either

Oh well, you know what they say about patience and all

On the advice of the brembo sticker, I ordered some gray ones up but not your normal gray





I am down for that! The Colorado RonJon family

Let me know when you got everything on and we will setup a time

 

lol, yep, we're the only ones with RonJon's

You gonna have your spacers next week?

I should have everything on mines by next friday, the 20th.

 

Ohh! Can't wait to see these wheels on the car and all done

 

I hope so, I ordered them last Sunday and the place said it can take 1-2 weeks.

 

Nice KBP!!

 

I'm down for a meet/photoshoot fellas. We'll set up a time/location soon...just let me know. Wheels are gonna look awesome Chris! Lookin forward to pics when they're on.

 

Bah!!!! Got an issue guys....

So, both places I have called (Big O Tires, and Discount Tires) refuse to mount my wheels on my car with spacers. Basically I need the tires off my current wheels to be mounted onto my new wheels. Spacers were made for the wheels and the car and are only 3mm so I dunno wtf the problem is.

Anyways, anyone know of somewhere local I can go that will mount my damn wheels?

 

wtf.

Just have them mount the tires on the wheels and then take them home to install. Return once everything is on for an alignment.

 

I was thinking of doing that, but can't really drive the car without tires.

Installing the spacers isn't that big of a deal it is basically a 3mm piece of metal drilled out to fit over the hub and have a hole so the wheel can lock in as well...

Hopefully there is a local shop who isn't retarded.

 

Oh yeah, oops

Try to find a smaller family owned garage. You may pay a little more but most of the time they don't have as many rules as nationwide chains.

 

Pic of spacers...

 

wtf, those are nothing.

Tell them to sack up.
