Wheel Opinion, Badge Question, and Clutch Question

How about these wheels on my Black FD? http://seppeku.diglow.com/FD/dl46blk_z


I got new black Efini badges for the front and rear of the car. How do I get the old ones off and attach the new ones? The new ones have posts on them, but no glue or tape to keep them on.


I parked my car on maybe a 30 degree incline drive way the other day, put her in first and turned off the car. The car started inching backwards down the drive way. Not rolling or anything, but like moved an inch, stopped, moved another inch, stopped. I put on the ebrake and it stopped no problem. So is there a problem with my clutch or what?

Thanks for all the input...

Personally, I'd say save up your money and get a set of higher quality wheels. It's a big investment, you should make sure you're happy with the wheels you bought. Look into Volks, BBS, CCW, etc.

Yea, I would pick some higher quality wheels if I could find some that I like. I just like the look of these, the 5 star, split, black on chrome lips and riviets.

Those wheels are a rip off of some really nice SSR GT3 rims. Here's the link to them. Search tire rack and you'll some other nice ones.

I was going to get the SSR GT3's, but can I get them in black chrome and in 17" instead of 18"?

I would call Tirerack and see what they can find for you. 1-888-541-1777. Maybe someone else can chime in. There are plenty of nice rims out there. I hope you find some you like.

As far as the rolling problem you're having, just make sure you put your parking brake on all the time, it saves unneeded strain on the drivetrain too.

Use waxed dental floss underneath your existing badges to pull them off. there are small holes in the bumpers that the posts fit into. You can also use small squares of double-sided tape as well to ensure they stay on. I once had an efini emblem blow off the front of my FD at 140+ mph, so it can happen
