New wheels! Nothing special....
 

Just got my new wheels in today, I'm a poor bastard and couldn't afford the 15x9 6UL's I so badly wanted, hope Emilio doesn't hate me for this one. Anyways, got these from Tire Rack, TRM C1's 15x8 +20 in Bright Silver finish. $435 shipped, I had to order these under a 90 model BMW. Luckily, for anyone person on here that has a BMW I have a set of FREE lugbolts that comes with the wheels if anybody wants them!!!

Got tired of my XXR's giving me nothing but shit for alignment capabilities (15x8 +0).

More pix tomorrow when mounted!

oh you poor bastard the XTRs will be out anytime now :rolleyes:

Nice man. Can't wait to see them with rubber and on the car for a GOOD assesment:)



And you can buy them when they do.



Lets keep the hatred in the "tire rack frakked up" thread mmmkay?;)

This I failed at being aware of....:vash:

Thank you sir, pictures mounted tomorrow! Original theme because its a Merlot was gold spoked wheels with polished lip, so I'm pondering maybe trying to infuse gold in with this wheel somehow??? When the funds are right i'll drop some $$$ on them 6UL's I still so dearly want!

Not sure I understand the fail of his post?

I need some wheels. What tires are you going to run?

Nigga chill. I wouldve gone for the 9" though

195/50/15 all the way around on the street

225/50/15 on the rear at the strip

195 on 8" is a CR.net shit be a man and do 225 all around and turn the boost up

Can't fit bigger on these wheels with my setup lol, these are going to be street wheels only. I have a set of steelies I use to mount my strip tires on. Actually in the process of building a 1.8 right now to turn up the boost.

I always liked these wheels for the price!! in for pics!

Honestly not a bad street wheel for the price. Get us some mounted pics!

But yeah, I'm gonna try to track the XTRs.

Can you get an accurate weight on that wheel?

I looked a little, most relative thing I found is that the 15x7 with tire is already at 31.5lbs.

they are around 34lbs rim+tire for the 9"
Ask me how I know:D
I'm calm as can be:)
I just don't want every thread being a bitchfest about the bullshit that happened and how everyone and their mother thinks its unfair.

Damn and I thought the 205/40s I had were a stretch. Good luck

actually 225/50 isn't really stretched.

at least not any more than what EVERYONE here is running: which is 225/40
It does look tall as hell .
195's on the other hand, will look stretched as hell

Here's the 205/40 on a 16x8

I mean what the fuck man? Stretched and dirty...

And no I'm not talking about your girlfriend this time. :giggle:

The wheels were sitting out for a while in the rain and I had just taken them off to put the 215/40s on and didnt' care if they were clean cause they were getting replaced with 245/35s. Yea and your gf didn't mind goin down on mine last night while I was behind her so ha!

Yeah, she's kinda kinky like that, she does the same shit with my wife.

How'd you like the Ecstas on that wheel?

Like them just fine sitting there. Car isn't running yet

What tires are some of you guys running at the strip??

Actually, this couldn't be any more win than it is right now.

Pix on the car going up tonight!

In for pictures.

installed pics yet?

255/40/17's, forgot the name but they're hella sticky and hook launching @ 3,500 on 1.6 and a a Evo16g on 18-19psi.

I'll have 235/60/15 MT DR's on the back end. Right now they are just sitting next to the car with the NT01 street/auto-x tires mounted

Pics with iPhone, sorry for quality. Threw in a picture of new intercooler front mounted!

A bit too narrow tires for my liking but the wheels look good man

Yea I would have liked at least a 205 on the rear but, I got a great price on those thru a buddy of mine at Discount Tire so I couldn't pass it up.

Besides the hood and front bumper looking like pure horse shit (just had a fender bender couple weeks ago) I was thinking maybe shoot them wheels a bronze or gold and it would look great probably?

Id think black or something dark would go better with your maroon than gold or bronze.
Just me though

Hmmmm anyone hazzz the pictorshopzzz to try this out for me?

Needs more rubber. They look good though :D

your color opinion?

Bronze

I was thinking bronze too, I wish I had photoshop to see what they would look like in different colors.

Ignore the dust...but these turned out nice when I painted them, the miata was a similar color to yours at one point, looked fucking fantastic.

Are you trying to get your post count up? I have an email inbox full of posts from you that really have ZERO meaning.

lol me?

eastz4 is who he's talking to im sure

In for more specs on your build! ;)

You are the owner of this thread, so if you want to post some BS that means nothing, I could care less. Your also not trying to boost your way up to enough posts to sell stuff.

Good point, off with his head!
