I click on the pic links and it keeps saying "The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer."
Those wheels look quite nice and unique from that small pic tho. What size are they?

buckethead · 02-25-2002, 05:21 AM

I have to find someone to host the pics I've got...this site I'm using can't handle much traffic I've noticed...

The wheels are 18X7.5..+49 offset.

thepreludedude · 02-25-2002, 11:58 AM

How much do those wheels weigh each?

buckethead · 02-26-2002, 05:23 AM

When we took of the stock stuff we grabbed a scale. Stock with tires under pressure were 41.5 lbs...18 inch gtp's with tires under pressure were 44.5...

This was racing zone's scale...could be off a little.

Those r really nice rims. I was wondering if u were getting the centercaps for them? i think they go 4 $200 a set. Very nice though, but it really needs a drop...... badly.

buckethead · 02-26-2002, 08:44 PM

There are center caps already on them. They're hard to see 'cause they have black centers...

Yea..I need to drop it...right now it's looking a little like a prelude SUV..

Thanks...

I see you decided to get my rims... Good Choice

buckethead · 02-27-2002, 04:59 AM

Yup...This was my 3rd set of wheels trying to find what I liked...

I tried the ADR gtn knockoff's in gunmetal(wrong offset, heavy, less than great quality)..

I tried SSR Integral's(I liked a lot, but not quite right)...

Now these GTP's(Love 'em, Love 'em...) In the Volk Club...

SweetGurlRacer · 02-27-2002, 11:12 AM

Now you just need to lower it

buckethead · 02-27-2002, 11:18 AM

I've got to fix my alingment woes first with Honda...my car is whacked out...

Factory SH specs with stock wheels on..pulls hard right..

Factory SH specs with GTPs on pulls "sick" hard right...

Honda has no clue. It's in a Tire Kingdom Hunter rack right now...with stock stuff on...

If they can get it I'll put the GTP's back on then buy some springs and things....

SweetGurlRacer · 02-27-2002, 11:26 AM

hummm my stocks were were good but when I got the GTP it started to drift to the right. But then I got it alligned and its better now. Have you drove like 100/mph in them? Something still doesn't feel right to me when it hits 100, like it feels a little wobbly, I don't know if thats a good word or it or not... Maybe I need to upgrade my suspension..? What do you think?

buckethead · 02-27-2002, 02:38 PM

Hmmmm...

I've drove from 2 to 100 mph coming back from Orlando, where I bought the gtps...they pull at 2 they pull at 100.

The only vibration I felt was at 80 in the rear. I checked and found that Racing Zone had not included rear hub rings..

They sent them. I put them on. Now no vibration, but still pulls right like a bear...

You've lowered your car, right?

Try putting your stock stuff back on with your current suspension, then determine if your having this wobbling.

Get your allignment specs, take a look at the caster readings. If those are not matching or really close the car will pull. The only way to fix the caster on a SH is to replace the radius rod arms. Honda has 5 different sizes of there to fix caster. Currently mine is at the extreme of both sides to try to help it from drifting right. Still does, but not so pronounced.

buckethead · 02-27-2002, 07:17 PM

Actually Honda installed a radious rod on the left to lessen the caster..right now I'm at 3.9 left - 4.3 right. It did help a little. But not enough to put the GTP's back on.

They also said that what they used on the left was as much as they could go. Is there more positive on the right they could go from your experience?

Is this a typeical problem with the SH's??
