need help before purchase!

eminence88 · 09-02-2007, 05:37 PM

hey guys so ive been meaning to get rims on my black 06 coupe for a while now. still into the black with polished/chrome lip look and recently came across these from a local retailer.

anyways, so the current idea is to go with:

225/40/18 tires with that ^ rim.

couple questions:

is this above tire size good? i like wide tires is this the best fit wide as i can go for width or will anything bigger rub?
also he's offering to give me FREE lowering springs, but theyre a brand ive never heard of.. Zenn apparently or something spelled like that. he said he can give me Eibachs for $100 more so im thinking why not go with Eibach since i know them and its only $100 more?
and how much should i lower my car? i dont want it ricey i just want a nice drop so it looks clean and not much of a gap. anyone with pics of their ride with a drop would be great!

any help at all is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance guys =)

Frequently Asked Questions about ZENN

I've heard these are Tein knockoffs, is that true?

No, ZENN springs are not knockoffs. They are produced in Argentina, not china like all the so called "JDM" lowering springs.

Why are they green like Tein if they are not knockoffs?

Nexus Industry(parent company of ZENN) took a survey to see the most popular color of springs before production began, and Green won out over red and dark blue.

So why should I consider ZENN springs?

ZENN springs have some very good drop heights along with very good handling and ride. We have sold ZENN for everything from show cars to SCCA race cars, and they work well.

How come I have never heard of ZENN?

ZENN springs first hit the market in January of 2006. You will only find Street Sport Industries selling them on ebay, as we are the only company allowed to sell the ZENN line for Ebay Motors. As time goes on, you will find more and more companies selling ZENN springs.

I think I would rather stick with a company who has been around a while for springs.....

The choice is up to you, its your hard earned dough, but keep this in mind, ZENN is produced in Argentina at a factory who does OEM springs for some of the major auto manufactures in the South American market. The factory has been around for over 50 years, far longer than Tein or any of the Chinese factories. We see a lot of people purchasing the Tenzo lowering springs on ebay, and paying higher prices for them. Those customers do not realize that Tenzo has their lowering springs made at the same factory in Argentina. Take a look for yourself on their boxes, it says "Made in Argentina". Same factory, same spring, same drop heights, just painted a different color.

1st of all pay for the eibach upgrade..

pro kit or sportlines depending on what drop you want.

225/40/18 are the best size in 18's imo. What size and offset is the wheel.

18x7.5 or 18x8 will work if you run 42-48 offset without any problems.

yea ima go with eibach pro

btw apparently azul 18" razrs DONT exist yet? so the guy is giving me these rims for the exact same price cause he feels bad
