Hiya...

For those who asked which rims i decided on...welp, here they are. Buddy Club P1 Racing II, 17x9.0, 45mm offset, gunmetallic. A ton lighter than my Racing Hart C2's...but then they are smaller too. Looks kinda like the LE37T or SSR Competitions but with a flatter surface (the previous two curves towards the rim).

Tires are en-route.

 

Do your C2's need a new home?

 

looks good, what kind of tires are you going for?

 

very nice...love the

wheels
brakes
rotors
suspension.

oh yeah the sprinker timer too...same one I have

 

LOL....mebbe i should connect it to an Aquamist system.


They rest in the garage when i go to autox/track with these. No trailer/hitch yet...dunno how to hack up the diffuser for the hitch.


Thx....Kumho Victoracer V700 255/40-17 on a truck heading westward as we speak. I dunno if the fronts will clear. Seems the AP Racing hats change the offset more towards the outside than stock.

 

Me likey those rims :1party: How much were they and where'd ya gettem? They remind me of the rims I saw on a DINAN BMW the other day. Very nice.

 

good choice, they look awesome!! Congrats

 

I got them imported by Boom Plus Toys (the same ppl who distribute the Kakimoto exhausts in North Am <- shameless plug here). I paid CAD$3100 shipped.

I weighed them today...to my chagrin, they are NOT light at all. Bath room scale (me+rim)-me indicated each rim weighs 23lbs. I just did a UPS shipment using the same scale and got a 40lbs reading while UPS' shipping scale read 38.5lbs. So a 3.75% error would mean it can be as light as 22.1375 lbs each. Not so good considering my Racing Harts where 24lbs only.

O well, at least they look nice.

While i was there, they brought in some Advan rims for other customers. They had an Advan Model 7, IMO, not so hot. But they did have a bronze Kruezer Series V...very nice looking. Large open spokes and great finish. Cost about the same as mine too.

Its gona be a little hard for you to drive on just rims isnt it?? j/k. What are you running? Nice FD you have there.. What front end is that?

 

$3100......... Holy poop, batman......

They are fantastic lookin rims; it's just that if I spent that kinda dough on new wheels my wife would become instantaneously Lorena Bobbitt.......

Good luck with them though.......

 

Notice he said CAD$3100. That's Canadian Bux, which are quite a bit cheaper than USD, otherwise known as US Dollars, or just plain $.

 

Give me your old rims Hedwig..

 

Sold my old rims, Chris. We have u been...somebody already posted a pix of their Probe w/ my rims on them. Why do you want another set of OEM rims?

 

Hahaha.. i meant your RH's haha.. but i was joking..
