Sweet combo man! so how are you keeping them clean again? LOL
I painted mine the same color as yours, but they are so dirty

 

Thanks!

Lol sorry man I misunderstood your question last time! Ive been using P21s wheel cleaner. It works good if you clean your wheels often. But I haven't let them get very dirty yet so I can't really say if it will do a good job on the calipers too. But thats what I plan on using. I'm always open to suggestions though!

 

Update!!

I decided to get myself a new bike instead of modding the car for now. I also started school so the mod funding is going waaayyy down But the bug is still biting! Now heres my problem. aspec kit or rims. I am definitely going to need rims this spring but i found what i think is a good deal on some forgestars. $800 with tires. Specs are 19x9 +38. Heres the problem one is curbed pretty bad (pic attached below) What do you guys think? should i jump on them? or just let them pass?

the KTM looks nice dude !!!

and ouch !!!

 

$800 with tires (assuming there's still tread), is cheap. That's also assuming there's only one curbed wheel and the others are in good shape. I say do it.

 

^^^ lol too heavy for my liking....15lbs is where i wanna be at

 

^Get 16's...those will fit over base brakes.

 

^^^ dont push me John....you know am considering that option....16" rims + tires will be less than 30lbs a corner....now thats awesome LOL....

 

Thanks man! I love it! And yea I know he curbed it pretty good.



That's exactly what I was thinking. And he said 2 others have a scratch on them and the last one is perfect. I'm not so worried about scratches as you won't be able to see them unless you're right up close. I guess I'm just looking for someone to convince me to jump on them! I'll contact him and get a little more info.

And as far as weight, I did actually want 18's cause you get a little bit of both performance and looks but I can't let a good deal just pass me by!!

 

Buy them

 

Well the forgestar deal didn't work out but I found something else! Here's a little tease until I get them on.

Ooo-this could be good....

 

 

Haha I really hope so guys!! Any guesses on what they are?? :P

 

I didn't get a chance to put them on today. I'll get them on this weekend or monday. But until then here are some pictures from my phone!

Does anyone know how I can find out what the hub bore is on the wheel? Or if I will need hub rings?

Also is the 20c the offset? Because they were advertised as +35

Dude, those wheels look very fresh.

 

...did Steven Bell just use the word "fresh"?!

Nice pickup on the wheels...loving how you're carefully planning your mods and executing nicely. Great looking car.

 

damn i didnt know they made SA55M with a red contrast color....I always thought the SA55M come in black/blue....

those rims have been my fav since a while now !!!

 

Thanks Steven! I put 2 of them on to see how they looked and they look very good but my car is screaming for a drop!! I should have a couple pictures up soon.



Thanks man, that really means a lot coming from you! You have a beautiful car by the way!! I'm trying to learn from everyone else's mistakes so that i don't have to do anything twice, just can't afford to be doing things that way right now! lol Next mod is definitely going to be a drop. still going back forth between coils and springs and springs with koni's



Yea the red ones are limited edition ones and from what I've been reading they're pretty rare. I am super excited to have them! and the price that I got them for makes me even happier!

 

Here are the pictures. My car is disgusting so please ignore how dirty it is. Commuting is really testing my OCD. It was also starting to get dark so the pictures aren't the greatest.

chaachinggggggg

 

WedsSports ftmfw! SO sexy

Sell the bike and slam the TL

 

Thanks guys!! But the bike is staying! Winter is just around the corner up here so the snows are going on soon. But coils/spring are on my xmas list!! The car will be dropped either over winter or in the spring. I promise!

Right now I need centre caps and lug nuts. I'm thinking red or black locking lugs...anyone have some suggestions?? I have no idea what the good ones are.

 

WTF did Tyler see the bike?

 

we need better pics man!!

 

I don't think so here's another one just incase he missed the first few pics

They're coming! hopefully tomorrow. I still have to wash the car and put the wheels on then it will be picture time!


Also I'm about to pull the trigger on some red wedssport lugs with locks, is there any reason I shouldn't and go with something else?? Any help would be much appreciated!!

 

Dude, the black wheels with the red trim look awesome on a WDP.

 

Here's what everyone has been waiting for!! Hope you guys enjoy!

those look SICK

slam your car and you will be famous

 

Thanks man! I'm very happy with how they look. And the drop is coming over the winter. The wheels are only going to be on for a couple weeks, maybe a month at most. Then it will be that time of year to put the snows on I'm actually looking at the XLR8 ISC coilovers. How do you like yours?

 

hellz yeah !!!

i think for 850 they are a STEAL !!! very well made, they come with top hats, have dampening and preload adjustment....

 

Looks good! Great job on the calipers and grill...

 

That's a awesome ride bro! great shots too. those brake calipers look good and so do the wheels. I'm jelly of your ride lol

 

Love the update pictures.

 

Out of all the coils out there they seem to be the best bang for the buck! I guess I should start saving...


Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the positive comments! Its good to hear that I'm doing something right!

 

yezzir do that....make sure with XLR8 to see how long the introductory price is going to last....

i know he was saying the price is gonna bump upto 1100 or something like that....

 

Shit really?? I was unaware of that, thanks for the heads up! I guess I have to figure something out!

 

Could someone help me figure out which hubcentric rings I need off this site? I've never seen them listed like this lol. From all my research the rims have a 73mm bore and obviously the car is 64.1mm.

Mileage update

Bought the car in May with about 91xxx km and here it is today when I got home.

Lookin great, man.
Here are a cheap alternative that will get the job done for the hubcentric rings.


PS...what are you looking for with coils?
Are you looking to slam it as low as possible? If so, sounds like the ISC's are the way to go.
The Tein SS (or Advance now called) are great for a softer more forgiving ride, but don't slam as low. If you check my build thread you'll see what they look like maxed out.

Don't want to clutter your thread with my pics.
