Finally sporting my new HFP 18's

CatScratched · 05-01-2008, 10:50 PM

I thought I'd share some pics with y'all of my new wheels. I got the HFP suspension installed last week also. The drop was almost 3/4" and quite noticeable. I noticed right away that oversteer was eliminated in the twisties.

Last year, before the tint, after the JDM badges, bone stock for reference:

wow the 18" HFP rims looks awesome man. congrad.

xtremesportscar · 05-02-2008, 12:28 AM

VERY NICE! I'm lookin for a pair of HFP 18s right now, so I'm jealous... Mind PMin me how much they ran w or w/o tires?

SiXXSPD · 05-02-2008, 12:42 AM

whats your tire size? looks wider than 215

CatScratched · 05-02-2008, 01:44 AM

Yeah, it's a 225.

It's a totally different ride now with the HFP suspension and those wheels. It feels solid, planted right on the pavement. It handled well before, but now I can put it right where I want it in the road.

brdhouse · 05-02-2008, 08:25 AM

that looks fantastic.

**iluvmycsx** · 05-02-2008, 08:31 AM

looks good

Felix · 05-02-2008, 08:38 AM

nice wheels,...

waldo08 · 05-02-2008, 09:02 AM

Looks really nice... Very nice...

CatScratched · 05-02-2008, 09:10 AM

Thanks guys!

My mods are so slow, by the time I get it where I want it, I'll have it paid for and be looking at the 9th gen!

simplicated1979 · 05-02-2008, 09:29 AM

those compliment your ride very well..i'm also looking for a set of hfp 18's in the future...maybe next year tax return i'll grab a set with some sticky tires..I already have the hfp suspension and it's already a big difference from stock...next on your list should be a front lip and your set...well done

CatScratched · 05-02-2008, 09:46 AM

Thanks!

I wasn't much into the lip kit when I first saw it, but it's growing on me. It looks good on other colors, but I didn't much like it on the NHBP.

But my bumper has taken a beating this year. I even thought about replacing the bumper completely. One day, I forgot to engage the e-brake and the car rolled into another car. There was no real damage, but it left a dimple right in the middle. So I don't know if the lip would go flush against it or not.

front shot of (Da1nOnLy2k6) car

side shot of (upnleftu) car

I think it looks stella on black...and about the rear...If you look closely depending on the spot on your bumper where that dimple is located, the hfp rear just may cover it...

CatScratched · 05-02-2008, 11:42 AM

^^ wHoA!

It looks great with the wheels! I wonder about the color match after a year. They say the colors fade a little.

But you've sold me on it. Next year perhaps... instead of a CAI or SRI.

IIIII · 05-02-2008, 11:58 AM

hot damn! that looks nice! I was thinking about some new wheels and those HFP 18's sure are looking nice, might just have to get a set.

Anubis · 05-02-2008, 12:01 PM

Always been a big fan of those wheels....they look amazing on NBP IMO.

nice ride

habitat · 05-02-2008, 12:17 PM

Looks great what brand/model and size tires? 225/35/18???

Filamsoccer · 05-02-2008, 12:40 PM

**jrMartinez24** · 05-02-2008, 12:46 PM
