Invisible Tires! Rotarybeat1287's new kicks!

I couldn't help myself. They sat in my room for 2 days before I gave in for a test fit w/o tires. haha. Anywho, here are my new wheels I just got for my TII.

Work Equip
17x8 +35mm front
17x9 +35mm rear

They are in PERFECT condition and I couldn't be happier w/ the quality. I ordered these from RBwheels.com and those guys have it together and are VERY professional.

-Allen G.







My rear coilovers always hang like this... lol. They aren't blown or anything they just look like a skyjacker suspension when I got the car up in the air. haha.

Yeah sadly all our leaves are pretty much dead. I know up on the runs the only ones still hanging on are pine needles and thick yellows. Kinda sad how fast fall came and went. But regardless... Pics when I get them all mounted w/ my BF-Goodrich G-Force sports and rolling around will be had! haha.





BTW... check this **** out! My newest chill spot! haha.

Thanks man... I'm going to run 235/40/17's front and 255/40/17's rear. I don't wanna have a taller sidewall in the front and so far, this is the look I wanna have w/ these sizes. Oh and sorry my **** is dirty as HELL! It's been WAY too cold to wash her unfortunately. I'm usually working during the warmest part of the day. lol.

That's a good fitment... Might be ever so slight bulge on the fronts, but rears should look perfect. My setup is similar to yours, 17x8 17x9 MS01. And the 225/45R17 is perfect in the front, and had to be an idiot and go 245/40R17 in the rear, looks kinda funny to me.

It also has to do alot with the tire manufacturer. All tires are different. So your fitment could vary from my falken 452.

^ Falkens look way more stretched than a lot of other tires. Always jealous of where you live rotarybeat. Great rolling shot!

I think they look tight. You should paint the spokes white though.

Thanks! I was reminded that the polished look would start to get really dirty the other day and go away fast when weathered ***** like mirrors and I kinda like it. So I'm going to do some research and learn how to keep them like that asbestos I can!

They really do look amazing.

I ordered a set of BBS RS's from RBwheels and I was also very happy with them. Good communication before the sale and quick/well prepared shipping. I highly recommend them.

Post more pics once they're officially on!!

I wish but I'm WAYYY too eager. I'm pratically in love w/ how the BF Goodrich G-Force sports feel even on 205's. So with running a 235/40/17 and 255/40/17 I can only imagine how much greater they will feel. So yeah, plus they are in stock @ my favorite tire place where it's good ole' country gentlemen that take VERY good care of my car. I don't think I could wait for those Dunlop Direzza's to come in. My appointment is set for 3pm for tomorrow!
