2,000 Yen is the installation price..I can do it for free on base of course at the hobby shop...but 2,000 Yen first time I mount/spin the wheels Ill let them do it...I can change tires and wheels no problem, done it tons of times,,this is the first new set I have ever got so I will sit back and sip a Pocari Sweat while they mount them for me....EVERY MOD ON MY CAR I have done myself....
Thanks for the props though!!!

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-29-2005, 04:35 AM

Can you explain what an 8j on the front and 9 J on the back will look like if I have a 32 vice a 22? I understand the fact that they wont be out as much, so 2 Centimeters less...If this looks bad I can always adda 10milli spacer right? Wonder why he reccomended the 32...maybe JCI you think? I still havent paid for shit yet..the campaign starts on the 15th...

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-29-2005, 05:07 AM

yeah mroe than likely for JCI, since you can't have your wheels sticking out beyond the fenders. That's why it's a good idea to have a set of shitty battleship wheels for JCI time.

x8 +32 will look... *okay*
for 8", you'd want around 10-20 offset to look good.
x9 +15 looks really swell. That's pretty much what you want to aim for in terms of 'teh ZOMG JDM FLOOOOSHness'
If you're not afraid of rolling your fenders and doing some harness tucking, this is the way to go.
Beyond the look factor, you end up having an ever so slightly wider track.

Honestly, go with what makes you happy. For me, I'd like x9 all around with ~+12-+15 offset
If I should go staggered, I'd want like... x10 +12.

Make sure you have some dish in the back at least. The wheels don't look that great with flat faces.

Dousan_PG · 06-29-2005, 12:23 PM

emotions are dished in. not flat.

yeah i think they will look good, cant pass up a deal like this for new wheels and tires also..

kuramaya · 07-09-2005, 02:29 AM

Well finally got the new wheels today! Running 235's 45 on the rear and 225's 45 on the front. Got the Work Lug nuts as well. They were 13,000 Yen, came with an extra set of lugs (4), and the Key. For those wondering yes they say work on the sides of the lugs and have the "W" on the end....The wheels didn't come with the decals on them and I kinda like the look without work all over them..the stickers came in 4 sheets...I may just save the sheets for another day and put a couple on the wheels...Ride is Good. The Tires are Falken Ziex..they are pretty nice...here are a few pics...the car is dirty so don't mind that...

kuramaya · 07-09-2005, 07:29 AM

the side shot..

**mrmephistopheles** · 07-09-2005, 08:54 AM

Not half bad, man.
Ninja edit: looks good.

420sx · 07-09-2005, 09:33 AM

with this profile tire, it needs to be lowered more

420sx · 07-09-2005, 11:28 AM

oh, and you could have gone way more aggressive. but its your car. so have fun!

kuramaya · 07-09-2005, 04:59 PM

I love the size as they are...yeah I agree that the front at least can go about 2 CM lower and the back 1 cm lower..too easy though takes all but 10 minutes to do that...i need to focus on the S15 Turbine and new Boost control now..

Nice. I really like those. I may have to steal your look and put those on my car.

My car is the maroon color though.

EEdude · 07-09-2005, 11:30 PM

Car is hot. IMO it's not complete unless you get a pulled fender in the arse. Also, the last pic, looks like two huge fuba antennas stickin out of your hatch.

Al_S14 · 07-10-2005, 10:53 AM

I dont have to order from the site man, Im in Japan. I just go to any Wheel/Tire spot and they have the books and they call and order for me...they can get disciunts that I cant if I ordered myself....only took 7 days to get the wheels...I first tried Autobacs, then went to Yellowhat and saved 200 bucks by going to yellowhat,,,
