I think they're decent rims, but I'm interested in actually seeing them on the car...

dnhieu · 10-01-2005, 12:04 AM

i plan on mounting and balancing them on sunday if my existing studs are long enough. if not im going to have to wait till i can call up rre and order the extended studs. i will give more pictures when they are actually on my car within the next couple of weeks.

I think that you're posting in the wrong forum.

the only reason why i posted here was because it said light weight rims. please move to an appropriate area.

If you want to generate some interest, tell us they are 17 x 8.5, 5x114.3 PCD, +38mm offset, weight 12 lbs each, and available dirt cheap.

I like them. 16X8, 50 mm offset, roughly 13 lbs each, got mine with good used hoosier A3S04's for 300.

thanks! you got a better deal then i did. i payed 200 shipped with them looking like shit. i had to sand them down and get them painted before they looked this good. also what size spacers are you running,tire size, and are you still using stock studs?

thanks

sean · 10-01-2005, 09:14 AM

Mine had and still have lots of brake dust on them. I'm running 245/45 Hankook's with 5/16" spacers and Mcgard lug nuts. It's a tight fit. I'm going to install longer studs soon.

dnhieu · 10-01-2005, 09:16 AM

how bad do they stick out from the sides? you can get the longer studs from rre

sean · 10-01-2005, 09:27 AM

Not much at all, fills the well up nicely.

dnhieu · 10-01-2005, 09:29 AM

damn i wish i would have opted for the 245 over the 225 now! oOo well none the less it will still look good preform well.

thanks for the help man!

For stock rims I think they're nice. The benefits of them being light n wide is even better.

dnhieu · 10-04-2005, 01:28 PM

alright i finally got around to putting the tires on and grinding away some of the control arm to get these babies to fit.

dnhieu · 10-04-2005, 02:15 PM

here is a before pic. looks alot better to me

Mike1992 · 10-04-2005, 09:06 PM

Looks very nice

dnhieu · 10-04-2005, 09:12 PM

well as stupid as this sound i actually feel a difference with these rims. the car seems to handle, accelerate, and stop better. nothing really noticeable, but noticeable. the combine cost was 680 with kuhmo escata supra 225/50/16 tires. if you have any questions on spacer size and what to grind away just give me a pm and i will be more then welcome to help you

thanks
david

I have it all together minus the turbo. I should be able to order that up next week. I also still need to get my buddy over my place to weld up my pipes for the FMIC.
