My front 18x9 K58's

what yah think..I think the standard finish will look good on a Silver FD

 

whoa you finally got them! mmmmm mmmmm :1party:

 

Dam, nice rims. I love those. they're my fave!

post pics once you get em on your car.

 

I can hook you up..if you got the dough. I think I sent you a PM last week...

I just weighed my 18x10..~23lbs on the bathroom scale..I figure the 18x9 weighs the same...woohoo

 

23 lbs?! thats kinda on the heavy side.

VOLK SE-37K's in 18x9.5 are 16.75 lbs, and cost MUCH less.

 

forgot to mention...your wheels look damn good though!

 

Yeah it's a little on the beefy side..the 18x10's are probably closer to 24lbs..23.xxx on the bathroom scale..the 18x9's are about 23 lbs. It's actually not bad for a 3 piece wheel.. I know I could have gone cheaper and lighter..nothing against SE37K's..because I actually wanted them really bad when the first come out. ...but I was always hem and hah (sp?) between mesh and star style... I think the K5's maybe a little lighter then the k58's in the same size..but I liked the k58's a little better.

thanks for the comments....

 

Niceeeee! My 18X10s are about the same weight, no biggee.

 

Johnny,
VERY NICE!!! I'm planning on getting Kinesis for my car as well. You have hook ups over there? Please pm me if you have any info!

 

You have been PM'd

 

you are probably not that far off...but Max Coopers's 17x9.5's weighed in at 16.6...so I think the 18's will be in the mid 17's somewhere..still about 4-5 lighter then what I got.

I weighed my tires today too..for the hell of it.(Yok AVS Sports)
235x40x18 = a hair over 23 lbs
265x35x18 = 25 lbs.

So my front will weigh with tires about 46 lbs and the rears will be about 48 lbs...I'm happy with that. I also weighed my stock rims with BFG R1's and they weighed 39-40 lbs each

 

My SE37K's, 18x9.5 weighed in at 16.5oz, 18x8.5 weighed 16 even on a USPS scale. AVS sports are notoriously heavy for tires.

 

look another pic..just some test fitting before tire mounting..definately need to install the 2.5 coilovers and the m2 components

 

BEAUTIFUL!!! Post some pics after you've mounted them!

 

those look f****ing SWEET!

 

Doh! Man I hate it when people jack up one side of the car. I know it probably doesnt hurt the car...but damn, just doesnt look like it should be sitting like that...

 

8 lbs / Wheel (=20% increase) will make a very noticable diff in handling, acceleration, & braking (for the worse) and you WILL need much stiffer shocks to keep them planted on the road.

 

Johnny,

VERY NICE! I have always liked the K-58s.

Your car will look GREAT when you get them on.

 

Those wheels are AWESOME. I can't wait to see a final pic.

 

It's going good...

1. I have all my tires...AVS Sports..
2. I have all the rims...
3. My ground control coilovers should be installed by wed.

But I'm still waiting for my lightweight lugs from Rays...then I have to run to the alignment shop and get all aligned again after the 18's go on.

Shouldn't be too long from now

 

I dont think my tires or rims are what you could call on the light side...but I am overall happy with the weights that I will be getting...I was dead set on 3 piece so I pay a little weight penalty.but oh well. As for the springs..I can never remember the stock values..but I think think my springs alone are atleast 60-70% stiffer..so I think I am ok there

 

Getting closer.............

Suspension is installed !
Found somebody competent to mount my tires on the rims...

OK where they hell can I get some Mcgard tuner(black) locks in the bay area ASAP...then alignment and call me done

 

Cool deal! we need some pics
