Had to put the 17's up and break out some kosei k1's for the last autox. the tires are v700 victoracers 205/50-15. I will end up getting some 225/50-15's for the back once I wear these out. I also saved alittle weight, 4 lbs per tire/wheel.

Your car is sooooo awesome, personally I like the looks of the Kosei k1's over your other rims... But what would look perfect would be some panasports =) Sweet looking car and you got the 13b-rew engine to bring the power, awesome car.

Thanks, I love panasports.... but for the money these where a steal, $560 shiped with almost new tires

thanks,

and the butt dyno is in....... freaking amazing, definitely some of the best $ I have spent on it in the past 3 months. Droping 16 lbs of rotational weight really helps, plus I can actually hook up in 3rd gear on low boost......hopefully it will hook up on high boost.

It's almost the same color of my FB... Real nice, white really stands out.

are you talking about the one's above, if so those are 15's and here are my 17's.

nice wheels and car overall man, but i have to say that enkei's rpf1's are even lighter 9.8 lbs. for a 15x7 wheel

Chi_San

o.o I so saw that one coming.

I also dig that blue. I think I'd decided what color to do mine in (I'm going to go with a darker blue, and WRB on my Legacy).

the k1s look better imo. nice car. nice stance, and the white works with the blue.

Come on guys, what's wrong with 17's? These are a set of Konig's with 205/40s up front and 215/40s on the rear.

StuntmanXero

Do you absolutly have to get a 2nd gen conversion kit to put different wheels on an FB? I heard that you could simply swap the breaks and whatnot from an FC to an FB to use their bold pattern.

d0 Luck

most of konigs and other non name brand wheels are very heavy..... light weight forged or light weight cast wheels are the way to go..

what? konig is a name brand wheel, I had some trafiks 17's that where 17lbs.

d0 Luck

to some i guess.. but i'm just not used to those types of brands. i do like the konig heliums though.

If you are running track all day long a few unsprung pounds might be a great help. To most of the people in the world, I would rather spend the $1500 or $1800 most people spend on a "light weight" set of wheels and put my money in the engine to go faster, not just handle better. I guess that is the reason there are a lot of different wheel companys out there. And for the comment "Konings and other non name brand wheels" I suggest visiting a Nopi event or two.
