i just kinda snapped these pics. . . so dont count on anything of professional quality.

heres the rim from the website. . .








there ya go. . . the cars parked right now. . . doing some much UN-needed mods!!!

paul

 

looks great!

kinda like a cross between the fikse fm-5's and the 99 spec ones.

 

I like them - very clean rims

 

i had a bonus come through. . . so, i figured id do this. . . then my turbo breaks. . . man, what a kick in the pants!!! hahahaha

paul

 

Paul they look SEXY! Good choice.
I need some too but the wife would kill me right now...

 

HAHA!!!!! the only way i was able to do this was because it was extra money!!!!

paul

 

Ahh, i wanted those kazera's from Tirerack

 

I saw your LIM too, it looks cool. When you gonna be rollin' again??? Your car is all cleaned up with no place to go!

 

the rims look very clean! now the fd looks that much sexier, haha. and good luck with the turbos.. =)

 

man, if i can just get some time to mess with it. . . it couldnt take more than 3 days to get it all ready to be back together!!!! i just dont have the time. i may hire jeremy. . . BUUUUUUUT, i just dont know if thats a good idea. . . i can get picky. hahahaha


thanks hkgirl, i thought so too. . . im not too big on super-duper fancy rims. . . these are clean and the whole 18 inch thing is nice. hahaha. i thought they made the car look smaller.

paul

 

I've hired him to work on my Y-pipe. I've got the rest of mine torn down for powder coating. Hopefully it'll be back together soon. At least yours is clean! Don't you have the turbo finished and just waiting to be installed???

 

the turbo part is ready, but cant be installed till the LIM is in place. . . just the nature of the xs engineering setup. yeehaw!!!

what color are you using on the powdercoating???

paul

 

very nice, clean, good amount of lip, not too much not too little. of course more the better!

 

I'm powder coating my Filler neck housing, Alt, R1 strut bar, and torque brace black.
I'm also painting the UIM and throttle body the same black as my LIM. Of course the UIM will be partially covered by the Feed carbon fiber cover. I needed something to do while Jeremy is modifying my y-pipe...

Are you gonna polish or powder coat???

 

powdercoat. . . still trying to work out the exact color. . . more than likely the same gunmetal that david has done his calipers.

kevin, tirerack doesnt have the pictures of the rear rims. . . so i didnt know how they offset it. . . i FIGURED thered be more lip, due to the popularity of that issue, buuuuuut. . . they used the hub. . . or whatever you call it. hahahaha

paul

 

looking good.

 

I like 'em.

 

Those are sweet man. What rubbers did you put on them?

 

i got a good deal on some dunlop somthinerothers. . . 235/45 and 265/35 or something like that. . . havent looked at it in a while....

paul

 

Nice man, it's a slick setup ya got there.

 

Very similar to my new league ones.

My compliments you have good taste.

 

haha, i appreciate it guys!!! ive always been a sucker for the simple beauty of a regular old 5 spoked rim!!! . . . and the fat spokes on these made me like em even more. . . that and the price. hahahahaha

paul

 

>"My compliments you have good taste."<

Haha This time he did! These are way better than those other POS's that you were jocking before( Garfinkles ) J/K

5 spoke has always been my favorite as well. There is just something that fits when i look at them.. Nice work on staying away from the tri-pods Also I am glad they didn't end up being the universal bolt pattern that was shown in the original web pic. I was about to get the flame thrower fired up. j/k again

 

haha, hey. . . i never said i LOVED his rims at all. . . they do however fit the man that owns them.

to be honest, i was afraid of that when i ordered them, but i called tirerack and they assured me that they wouldnt be like that.

everytime i look at my car now. . . i wonder why i dont get it back up with a quickness. . . then i remember that i am in school full-time and working full-time. . . so, i do what i can, when i can.

paul

 

Those look nice. I like them. Keep it up.
