bop_rocco · 03-03-2008, 11:35 AM

Beautiful wheels.

bop_rocco · 03-04-2008, 09:48 AM

thanks, im not shure about the black on the MB. but if i dont like it ill get em painted silver.

Why didn't you go with Work Meister s1's?

bop_rocco · 03-05-2008, 08:15 AM

price, i got these at a deal, plus the works are about 200 more a wheel. and these are kinda light for a 3 piece wheel the 18x10's are about 22lbs

Uncle Hungry · 03-07-2008, 08:13 PM

Why do you think they won't fit? What is your front offset? I have meister's with 255/35/18 kdw2 rubber and a +48 offset on a 18x9 up front and that was the recommended tire size. Btw they should arive in a couple weeks so no pics yet lol. Edit, now I see. Your offsets are about opposite of mine . I'm + 48 in front on a 18x9 and + 43 in the rear on a 18x10. I prefer a more staggered look.

Love the rims, but I also wonder how they will look on MB. I own an MB and I think it is the hardest colour out of the FD lineup to match wheels for.

2MCHPWR · 03-08-2008, 07:40 PM

nice. did you get them from tirerack? i got SSR comps cheap from there recently because they aren't gonna carry them anymore.

i hate you guys, sa's are stuck with the 4x110 bolt patten. i am going to go with koing rewinds, since i cant get the rotor wheels in the states. post pics -xlr8planet-.

bop_rocco · 03-10-2008, 07:47 AM

i test fit the fronts yesterday. seem ok but im cutting it verry close but i dont think i will have to roll fenders. but the rear i want to know if i can run 5 mm spacers out back. like these http://www.racinglab.com/whmalialwhsp1.html
is there any prob with the hubcentric rings and running spacers?

but yes they came from tire rack originally. rx7will on "the other site" bought them and sold em to me cause he went another route.

bop_rocco · 03-10-2008, 10:24 AM

also if i ran 5 mm spacers out back do i have to replace the studs for longer ones?

bop_rocco · 03-11-2008, 07:31 AM

can anyone answer this for me?

bop_rocco · 03-12-2008, 11:01 AM

?

bop_rocco · 03-18-2008, 07:43 AM

here are some pics from my phone, i'll get better ones later. nothing rubs as far as i can tell but im taking out the bolts under the front fender that holds the fender liner and i will get 5 mm spacers for the rear to put the rim at +44mm.
