JSPEC 17s now on the Sillver Bullet

At long last I have completed this project. The 17" JSPEC wheels are now on my car. I have a write up on the whole ordeal on my site. Comments/questions welcome.

nah, my comp is pretty good,
just no java.

what the problem I had was that his navbar didnt work,
and obviously this is a common thing, so he had an alternate link just in case... which would be cool if that link wasnt BROKEN!

Nice looking wheels and car!

While the site certainly didn't respond super quickly, it worked just fine for me and had some really nice write-ups and info. Nice website!

Your comments are appreciated, although please don't act like an *** when you give them. I am aware that some users experience problems with the nav bar because their computer doesn't support applets. I have correct the links. You need the one near the bottom.

I didn't weigh the wheels with the tires mounted. I think you can find tire weights in various places though. Grassroots motorsports has them listed if I remember correctly. As for more pics I'll get some up in the next week or so. My camera battery died as I was taking pictures so didn't get too far

great write up. i checked out your ebay search for 3rd gen stuff, and a set of those same wheels came up. IIRC, they were only 16x8 though.

great site

I dig those wheels. Been trying to think of what I might get later on when I've got the need for an additional set...maybe these (just to **** you off .

The navbar seems to take a really long time to load...I dunno if you can drop the resolution on those bullet images or what, but I'm on a really fast link and it still takes some time to load.

nice write up on the wheels, and good choice. I'm a big fan of the the j-spec 17" wheels, and getting 4 of them 8.5" wide was a great idea

we need some pics of the wheels on the car though

btw, your site is very nice, and your car looks good

Sorry everybody, I have been really busy. My computer also broke with my website building tools on it. I should have it fixed soon. Once I get everything in order I'll take more pics of the wheels along with my new custom intake, which is more than just some heat shields

Wheels

I bought a set of wheels from Lau Jesse too. Mines were in excellent shape. everyone thinks they are new. I must say that i was just like you buddy, searching for the perfect wheel and ended up going for the JDM, They look great, light weight, easy to clean and they stand out.. i just bought a digital camera. I should post some pics this wknd.
:Later
