Got Some New Wheels

bioevolve · 03-18-2008, 10:59 PM

Kosei K1 TS Light Grey, alittle darker than expected. The silver ones looked to bright, well pictures aren't the same as in person.
17x7 offset 50mm 13.7 lbs, will be putting them on tomorrow on my exsiting summer tires.

bioevolve · 03-18-2008, 11:00 PM

Finally, after 3 tire shops, they are on!
Phawking corporate rules about not allowed to put wheels on with exsiting tires crap.:mmad:

I don't like the color of the valve stems, I will change those out when it's time to get new tires along with the lens inserts in the center cups.
The new tires will be 225 or 235 to help fill the fenderwell.
Acceleration is noticable, makes it feel faster (37.2 lbs weight loss). Now I can't wait till the new flywheel and clutch kit comes in.:mangel: :mbiggrin:

Before:

After: Tires look bigger eh? (it's the lighting lol).

nice......yeah need a drop

ortivt6 · 03-18-2008, 11:20 PM

Sorry but like the stockies better...

bioevolve · 03-18-2008, 11:26 PM

Will drop alittle later.

Stockies look beefier but these are so much lighter.

24boosted · 03-18-2008, 11:29 PM

Those are some high offsets. Awesome wheels tho.

thats my same point... our stockies does look good in our cars cuz they look so much bigger... but when u get aftermarket wheels in 17in they look sooo much smaller...

pgFA · 03-18-2008, 11:58 PM

The reason for some aftermarket wheels looking smaller on our cars is because majority of them, the spokes does not go all the way to the outer diameter of the rims. And thats the reason why I went w/ 18s.

Still looks good though. And like what people said already... DROP IT!!!

black08si · 03-19-2008, 01:09 AM

the tires do look smaller on the new wheels. I am also looking at new wheels. After looking at this I am thinking 18s????

black08si · 03-19-2008, 01:10 AM

13 lbs sounds good though

Asif22 · 03-19-2008, 01:47 AM

Genearlly star shape wheels look bigger...The more spokes you have makes the wheel look smaller...Also depends on the style of the rim like if the spokes extend all the way

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-19-2008, 03:33 AM

KShirza1 · 03-19-2008, 03:54 AM

Thanks!

My personal opinion:

FA5 = 18s
FG2 = 17s or 18s

Looking good mane, a drop would make it look better yes, but you don't need one!
