Those wheels are burning my eyes!

 

nice nice Summit! your fd is dope son. Unlike all those weak sauce FDs we see every pages

 

they are at least better than 90% of the other wheels runining most of the FD's in this thread. such a shame.

so many FD's with potential, absolutely ruined with horrible, cheap, ugly, horribly sized crap for crap wheels.

 

Give an example

 

Wow 90%, that's practically everybody...would love to see how perfect your wheels are.

 

correction, i definitely love these even on blue!!!

 

lmao +1

any sunk wheels = super lame! You don't like stretched rubber? FINE... guess what ? it's not an excuse to buy wheels with gay offsets. It's not that hard to find proper offsets/sizes that will sit flush with the fenders, while still using the recommended tire sizes. Same thing goes with 4x4 suspension setups

 

Like I said, give an example

 

Summit HEART, i dig you car.. sick color combo for a track car. Where is the color of ur car from? kinda looks like mine..

wutangben, WTF are u talking about? most of the guys on here have very nice wheels. what wheels do YOU have?

 

You the man dawg, sign my hood!

 

Makes me want to paint my winter wheels for my STI the same color..Hmmmm

 

He probably means like this, and I agree I dont like the way it looks. I will change it once I can afford some decent 18's and then adjust my coilovers accordingly. The 17's are just not big enough to clear some **** daily driving so I had to raise it up a bit. Just you wait, I'll be hella flush asap. Im thinking 18" Work vsx's.

As for the gram lights, man I love those wheels, my preference would be a different colour.

 

Don't sweat it, all that matters is if you're happy with it.

 

my comment was meant as a light hearted joke on the brightness...my wheels aren't the best by any means so no negative intended to post

 

Dont get me wrong, I love the car just dont have the desired aesthetics yet. Soon...

I still manage to scrape that lip in a few spots aswell...

 

nothing that lowering springs and spacers can't fix.

 

oh, i know. i was just using your comment as an excuse to post what's been building up inside. i don't want to post it RIGHT after someone with bad wheels posts, because i don't want to single anyone out. i knew you weren't hating.

as far as some examples, i'll dig some up.

and i'll give slack on fitment, because we all know that we all have our own tastes when it comes to that. but you can still have decent wheels without "proper" fitment.

 

i really need to figure out how to get it to stop logging me in under that other name.

so maybe "90%" is an exaggeration after looking back a few pages. i guess my message is to take a little pride in your wheel selection. wheels will make/break your car, and when you have ugly wheels, it's one thing. if you have poor fitting wheels, it's another... and when you have both ugly wheels and poor fitment, it's just a shame.

i guess, coming from the drift scene, i'm used to regularly seeing cars, (s-chassis, etc) rocking wheels that are worth more than the car. then coming here, it's the exact opposite. nice/expensive cars with cheap wheels.

stock would be better than cheap wheels.

 

old school Enkei RP01 18x9.5...rock on...

 

Cant wait to run 285s in the rear I like the stretch look on show wheels but my car is "daily driven Track abused" so i need me some rubber!

 

^--Are those Work Equip?

Please get a new exhaust before u get tires!

 

Yes sir! Equips

WTF is it with everyone hating on my exhaust lol IT IS CALIFORNIA APPROVED DAMNIT!!!!
until my car gets registered in Florida I have to keep the popo from using the "modified exhaust" excuse.

I will be putting in a RE Amemiya dolphin exhaust soon!

 

exhaust is fine. they just jelly over your equips.

 

one of my Fav wheels. love them! powder coat them flat black.. would look good with the rest of ur car and your flat black exhaust


I didnt notice that you live in Cali.. that explains a lot.

 

Small Update.



I ditched the side skirts and KSP rear wing. Painted the RP-01 Black. 18x8.5+35 & 9.5+38



i drove it wingless for a while and got some new suspension but I haven't dropped it yet..



But after the quake in Japan, i may have to sell it soon. No money.
I finished the graphics and reinstalled to wing to see what direction it "COULD" take.

but unlikely seeing the finiancial climate I am in.

Russ.

Target = Dumped + feed skirts and needs a splitter for finality. Just have to use Photoshop and dream.
