I just put the new rims and tires on my car. Here's the pics





I painted the calipers black while I was at it. I had to wait 2 hours for the tires to get mounted and balanced. So, I need something to do while I waited.

I got more stuff to install. Like exhaust, CAI, strut brace...but, its to hot out right now. So, later tonight i'll work on it again and post more pics.

 

looks good. now drop it.

 

man those rims look tiny

 

why is there a *edit* on this site with an rsx being a moderator. what the **** is goign on this is a cobalt site he must not be liked at the rice burner sites.

 

can i ask for this guy to be banned? please

 

what size are those, those are the ones off of tire rack, correct? i thought about ordering some but didnt know how it would look

 

what the flying ****? did you get dropped on your head when you were little.

new member > banned in one post, world record.

On another less ignorant note, man black wheels aren't photogenic at all unless u get up close on them. They appear to look good though, just needs a drop like now.

 

look good. will be really set off onece it gets lowerd

 

The drop is in the works. Just waiting on parts. Thats the bad thing.

hatrickstu, they are 17". I stuck with the 17' and the stock size tires. I didnt want to screw with having to get the speedo recalibrated. More hassle then its worth.

IonNinja, I know they are to photogenic. But, you also have to take into account that my 6 or 7 year old digital camera really sucks ass. Its a Olympus D-490 with 2.1 megapixel. I left my new camera in Germany. I'll get it back in July though.

 

Rims Look good, If you dont mind me asking how much and can you be more specific on tire size?

Jack
You are an ******* please leave this site

 

hey man thought i would give you a preview, here is a quick photoshop-

 

guys i cant figure out how to make the pic bigger

 

nice nice...is that a glare on the front right rim...white dirt...or is it scratched? my guess is a glare or just something on the rim...

 

Yellowt, The tires are Falken FK452 --- 205/50zr17 they are $97 each at EdgeRacing.com and the rims are ASA JH8 17x7.5 they're $159 at Tirerack.com or $185 for 18x7.5

Campo, thats a glare. I cleaned the rims up before I put them on the car. There was a lot of tire lube on them.

Hatrick, can you do a photoshop on the close up pic? That might be able to show the drop a little better. Im wanting to drop it about 1-2inches.

 

 

i second that please!

 

looks good but is there a reason you didn't go w/ the 18s?

 

he said he wanted to keep the 17-inch tires he had

 

ok guess i didn't read that thuroughly thanks

 

Looks Good..

 

i like it. it looks good

Thanks, Guys.

I like how it looks.

Hopefully she'll look better once I get my Eibach Sportlines installed. They should be here sometime this week. Hopefully, I get the Ingalls Stiffy I ordered sometime today. If I do, I'll get the Stiffy on today. But, springs are going to have to wait a few weeks though. I dont have the spring compressors that are needed. I got everything else to do the job though.

$829 with tires mounted and balanced

 

^^^thats not a bad deal. I've never heard of Essenza tires though. So, I dont know how good they are. But, $829 and free shipping. Thats less then what I paid for what I have
