Well I decided on wheels.. just purchased these

Kurt · 04-01-2007, 10:30 PM

Talk about impulse buy. I auto-x for two days and suddenly I'm spending 800 bucks on making my runs faster. I wasn't looking for what's going to be sexy for my car, just focused on a lightweight relatively cheap wheel.

These will make a nice difference in times :)

17 x 7.5 Rota SDX's. Flat black w/ red lip. 16.9 pounds!! (deciding factor) Plus it will just look badass on my silver coupe

(Not mine) I also ordered some black lugs for it.

How much did those set you back? And where did you get them from. Oh, and just to let you know...I love those.

inyong1988 · 04-01-2007, 10:52 PM

looks hot. how much was it.

Kurt · 04-01-2007, 10:54 PM

730 shipped from ebay (subydude seller). Then I bought the black lugs from the same dude for 45 bucks shipped.

Now I need to get tires! Falken Azenis RT615's coming soon. I'm looking around for prices first though. 225/45/17's.

And I have until April 15th to get them all mounted and everything.. so I should be okay.

**Tim** · 04-01-2007, 10:54 PM

Those are my favorite Rotas. Is $800 with tires?

inyong1988 · 04-01-2007, 10:58 PM

Do they have 18" with same rims?

Lilwolvy3 · 04-01-2007, 11:00 PM

That's a pretty good deal. I might have to look into those.

**Tim** · 04-01-2007, 11:01 PM

No 18's. I'd have bought them if they made 18's.

Well, he gave the website, thus giving the impression that the SDX's would be on there which are also sometimes often confused with the Grid's, plus its 10:45pm and i doubt they would be open too.

But i do call when appropriate.
Common Sense.

EDIT: O yea, congrats to the OP on the purchase, those wheels are going to look good mounted to your car.

Kurt · 04-01-2007, 11:59 PM

Does anyone know if I need a hub ring? and can I use any valve stem?

hub bore on the rotas you order are 67.1 and the civics are 64.1, would ask the seller this question... as for valve stems the wheels should come with some, and when you order tires/mount tires they'll ask you if you need some...

Nice, thank you.

I've never purchased wheels/tires before so this is all new to me.

abs0lutexer0 · 04-02-2007, 12:39 AM
