can you post better pics of the lip on the 8.5? and what "disc type" is the front (hp, nr, md, sl)?

Quickfini 03-10-05 02:15 AM

Damn I want those wheels badly haha.

How much did that set you back?

rynberg 03-10-05 03:38 AM

I hope you plan on rolling your fenders....10" at +37, yikes. Nice looking wheels though. I doubt there's many if any sets still available now that SSR is in bankruptcy procedings.

You call that lip?
Bah... :)

no problem fenders already rolled.
2-3" lip is good enough for me. Comparing to what I use to have. It's a huge different.
The whole thing set me back 1700+
Now I have to decide on tires......

So hot it hurts! I wanted to get a set of SP1's since I got my FD back in 98. I ended up going with Volks because they were lighter. But man, those are sex~

gnx7 03-10-05 01:53 PM

very nice... you need to put up a C-note vs $1 to show the bling dish factor

DGblk93 03-10-05 02:06 PM

Real nice :bigthumb:
Whenever I'm on Tire Rack I can't find 10" wheels. How did you stagger the sizes? Also - did you find these by plugging in your car to the make/model search - or did you search for these directly because you knew what size you wanted?

jupiter 03-10-05 02:47 PM

I just went through the upgrade garage.
- I would put up a c-note but after spending $$$$$ motor / upgrades I'm ass broke + just bought a house.... whew gotta stop spending $.

Great wheels,
I am thinking about getting the same once and was excited when tire rack started carrying them. But then they don't have the black chrome, that is what I wanted. How do you like the black center? Does it look shiny or mat?

Thanks

Shiny.
Stupid special order tires...urrggghh! Hopefully they'll be mounted next week.

POM HB 03-13-05 06:32 PM

Damn! I envy.....

Do you know the weight?
And, at the back, even if you roll fender, I doubt the wheels would fit, but I aint' no expert. I thought at 10" width, the offset would be around 48-50.

How much clearance do you gain by rolling the fenders. Anyone knows?

And is 1/2 inch clearance to the fender the approriate space? This is coming from the formular (wheel width +1) - back spacing gives front spacing and (wheel width +1)/2 + offset in inches gives the back spacing.

Thanks
