Nice wheels, did you ever weigh them?

pearl type sh · 09-17-2003, 06:44 PM

nice, but not sure what look your going for but no kit with rims that small in the future. but looks clean, tires dont look to big look good.

As far as weighing them... I never really got around to it. But supposedly they weigh 14 lbs... which is nice. Although the weight of the Azenis compared to the Kumho 712's probably negated some of the weight savings.

I'm not really going for any particular look. I just wanted something that looked clean and not too flashy, which is why I'm trying to get some OEM/Mugen sides and rears... I just wanted functionality with a little bit of style. I'm starting to get pretty serious about autoxing... but I don't want to go to a 15" rim just for performance. I wanted to maintain the stock size to maintain a good compromise between style and performance.

16" tires are much cheaper than 17's or 18's... For right now, I'll be rolling on 16's. When/if I do get a set of 15's though for strictly track use, I'll probably roll on a set of 17's.

Sorry Pearl... no bright banana yellow paint, aggressive body kits, dual exhausts, or a (then) giant wing for me

Although I do give you props for the hard work you put into your car.

Sandiegan: I took the rear mudguards off today.

I don't usually like black cars and I don't usually post replies in this section. But, your car is an exception! Bloody marvellous. I reckon the wheels go well with your car.

Nice ride... but I'm sorry, I hate unfinished kits. It doesn't look terrible, since at least the sides somewhat match up with the front. But one thing about our cars I hate is how the rear seems to rise up so much.

I would finish the kit first, then do the suspension. Suspension is the best bang for your buck you can do.

Question: One finger gap is how many inches of drop normally on a 45/16? Thanks!

AsianPersuasion · 09-23-2003, 11:07 PM

I don't know... somebody measure the gap on a stock lude and then I can tell you

Besides... on the Azenis... their measurements are underrated... these 215's are seriously more like 225's so the overall diameter of the 215/45 are almost identical to the stock 205/50.

ive been wanting to get some royal slipstreams or grid's in 16x7 but was just afraid of how 16's would look. that sets all my fears aside as they look great!

TW00Si · 10-04-2003, 03:06 PM

looking good Jet!

yeah you need to umm, slam your car more so you can really throw off the balance of your car because you know...the lower you are, the faster you go

*why don't you send me some of that money you're burning left and right*
