I took a lot of pics of different angles with/without flash because it's hard to get the color of these wheels into a picture.
Wheels: Weds SA70 (blue light chrome)
Front: 17x9j off set:+10 Tire:Advan Neova 215x45
Rear: 18x10j off set:+18 Tire: Wakanai 235x35

Thread Explanation: I posted these as a before view so you could see how much the rims stick out. After I get my over fenders and the car painted then I will post the after (tsuraichi) pictures. I did not buy the tires, they came with the wheels when I bought them off of the Japan auction. I would take them off and sell them but I'm not going to get what they are worth so I will just use them till they are dead. After that I will buy 235x40 for the front and 255x30 for the rear. The tires are this way because some people in Japan like to stretch the tires to get that extreme angle although this style is fading. Enjoy!

 

 

The rain water is why they look dirty...

 

still looks clean as hell though, nice lookin set up man.

 

Like the wheels, looks like **** with little tires on them tho.

 

i like it

 

Nice looks what an FC would look like if Batman owned one...Looking at your rim sizes im guessing your running wide fenders in the front? And the rear is stock? I didnt know you can run such a fat tire with that low of an offset. Time to rethink my rim setup...

 

The front fenders are stock. I can't even fit my pinky between the tire and fender. I only put the wheels on for the day for the photo op. Once I get my FRP fenders and my rear fenders welded to match the rear wheels, then I will be ok. It looks ok in the pick because I cranked the rear up a notch so they wouldn't rub on my little drive to take the pics....Nothing like a little tire on wheel well action to ruin your day.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

OMFG! I like that alot! Looks great!

 

NIIIIICE


cant beat a tru japanese setup


..how much did you pay for them?

 

Glossy car.

 

sweet, but I'm not a fan of the stretched look

 

looks awesome. Im not a fan of the stretched look either, but to each his own, i also like popups, but thats why its not my car. As long as you like it thats all that matters! Nice setup.

 

In just a personal opinion, I think they look a bit weird, the tires are so stretched it looks like the rims are just sticking out in the air, especially the back. I am not a tire pro, I worked in a tire shopped but I didn't pick which tires to go on which rims, but I can tell you that I never mounted any tires that ended up looking like that. Just looks weird to me. cool rims though.

 

Thanks for the constructive criticism but if you would have read what I typed before checking the pics you would know that I am also not a fan of the stretched look either. But thanks for not being a dick about it as we all know that too many people would have said it a lot more harsh. I was a big fan of my pop up headlights too until I saw thousands of 180sx's here that made my car look plain jane...plus it confused that hell out of me on my circuit videos when I couldn't tell who was who Domo Dude!

Once again.

 

eesh, cant wait till that "fad" is gone. Rims look great, make sure you show us when your tires take a poop!

 

Sweet ride, bet those wheels look even better in real life, that color looks like quite a chore to capture on film.

 

Which and where can i find that front bumper?

 

Thats almost as hot as Jenna Jameson.........

Put the flip ups back on and the car's hotter then Jenna. HOT CAR!!! Looking forward to the finish.

 

Fron what I'm told it's a hard-to-find bumper there in the states. It's from RE-Amemiya. http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/
Mine is the older style bumper, the (FC M/C後 Full cowl SPL)

Some people love this front end and others are die hard original FC fans. There are just too many "pop-up headlight" cars here, and the DENEN Crew and I all try to run the same body lines.

 

any engine pics?!..and those rims r dope

 

baller rims man

 

Thanks for the comments. Ask and you shall receive. This is the closest engine shot I have at the moment.

 

nice rims, i'm liking the headlights too!
