The lip is fuckin' tits. The color and the whole wheel pop with the spokes set back like that and the 9s really fill out the fenders nicely. I grabbed these tires for a song, $144 shipped for 4 of them with 2/32nds left, so they will get me 2-3 track days while I save up for some more NT-01s.

They did have this funky chunky rubber buildup on the two rears, like they had been driven through the marbles, so I had to get rid of it. :giggle:

hustler 10-25-2008 08:57 AM

scottv 10-25-2008 09:17 AM

Sweet...any pictures straight on from the back? I'm curious how they look. Thanks.

Savington 10-25-2008 02:09 PM

My fenders are rolled, no pulling. 11.7" front, 12.2" rear. I will grab a rear shot today.

thesnowboarder 10-25-2008 02:52 PM

i want 9s now!

Waiting for the ass shot

hustler 10-25-2008 02:54 PM

I have 15x8 for the street, but this makes me want to get the 9's for the track and run hoosiers...but that's a lot of money and won't last as long.

Nobody likes your ugly, heavy, weak ass, puny wheels....

Drool.

What's the contact patch measure front and rear? I get 8.5" front and rear with 6.5" wheels w/ Yoko 225-50's.

kotomile 10-25-2008 04:16 PM

They look great! 6ULs, right?

In for pics of the rear view, and of the C5 parked next to it. :)

patsmx5 10-25-2008 04:23 PM

Pretty sure that's not a C5 kotomile. But "spread the wealth" is hilarious.

kotomile 10-25-2008 04:25 PM

Meh, C4, maybe C5, whatevs.

And thank you. :)

patsmx5 10-25-2008 04:28 PM

Looks like a NA miata to me. Not a vette.

And yeah, that's a C5Z parked next to it. My roommate's track toy that he picked up for a fucking song. Stroked LS3, Pfadt suspension, blahblahblahblahb. Retarded fast.

IN YOUR FACE, PATSMX5!!!!!!

patsmx5 10-25-2008 04:44 PM

Yeah yeah, whatever.... I lose. I was looking at the reflection in the mirror of the C5... Obviously.

Looks good sav. What's with that little notch in the center of the rear bumper? And is that a 3" pipe out the back?

Savington 10-25-2008 04:57 PM

3" pipe out the back. The notch was for an aborted trailer hitch project. I need to replace the rear bumper skin.

hustler 10-25-2008 05:23 PM

what does your plate frame say?

Savington 10-25-2008 05:52 PM

"Sleep in the car... cuz you can't race the house."


(because wouldn't fit.)

I hear people do that with a base ball bat or etc. How did you do it? And did you have to touch the paint up?
