Looks great man!

How wide are the wheels? Any problems with the front tires rubbing?

Have you ever thought about getting a front window tint stripe? it would round out the windows quite nicely.

Drop that beast and you are ready to go

They look small for being 18' rims, they look closer to 18" wheels. (sorry, im an engineer so i notice these things) haha they look good though. Like you said in your post-suspension is the next thing for ya.

Ya the reason they look so small is because he needs to drop it.

thanks guys, I really dont know how wide the tires are? i thought 235 represts the width? i guess i was wrong but I dont have any rubbing problems, they fit perfect.

I have a question guys, the dude that put the rims on my car for me confused me , the tires have a rotation direction on them, he made the tires on each side rotating each other, i know thats confusing so i made this in paint, i hope that clears it. I dont know if he did that right cos as far as I understand both tires on the same side are going to rotate in the same direction.

thanks.

That's wrong both should be pointing the same way!

Wheels look great, but definetly need a drop, Nice choice.

 

[ECTurboDSM]

Luckily you can fix the dumbasses mistake without going back to him. You should be able to switch two of the wheels around and get the direction right. Think about your car moving forward and how the wheels would spin to make it go forward. Basically, if the rotation arrow is at the top, it should face forward. If its at the bottom, it should face towards the rear. Looks good though, and definately needs a drop.

What? 235 is the width. 235mm or 23.5 cm.

40 is the series.. like how fat the tire is.. 30<40

The letter represents your tire rating. How much speed your tires can handle. A < Z .

Nice bodykit combination. I have the same on my spyder.

40 is the aspect ratio. It means the sidewall is 40% of the tires width.

Way to bring this one back from the dead.

Seriously though, that's one ugly @ss banana car.

 

[FlossinTSi AWD]

Sorry, I know its an old post but this was the only post where I found something on Velox wheels.

 

[97 GSX 97]

Thank god is an old one because that car is hideous. So are the wheels.

 

[Absit]

I concur, this thread should have stayed dead, that car is terribad.
