hypersilver..hrmm now i can have a look at how my car would of looked iwth hypersilver..i have gunmetal

hrmm...

and glad i didnt..too bling lookin for me. stands out too much on red..im running 235/45/zr17 on my 17x8 +35

get a 5mm spacer flush it out

[TangyXTC]

thats exactly what i said too when i first put them on.:hammer: :axe: :bash:

argh...

[TheSparo]

size and all looks nice, just need a lower offset:D

sometimes, especially at night, shinny rims looks soooo nice. my 300zx rims used to be chrome, i hated it, but sometimes, at certain angles, they looked badass. and once in awhile i miss my rims being chrome.

anyway, i like the way it looks, although i think it is a tad too flashy for a car without any body add ons. With some nice modest skideskirts/bumper those wheels would fit right in/

[TangyXTC]

Don't you just hate it when you wait all this time, save up your money, finally get what you want. Then it turns out suckier then you ever imagined? :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
sigh...

oh well good thing is im going to Drift Day 6 on july 5th!

thats y u ask around if anybody has hypersilver on a red s14 before buying it. i know i asked..should of asked me i have pics of a s14a with hypersilver

I know this is off topic, but TangyXTC, how is the ride with the sportlines and agx's? Do you scrape a lot? Performance? I ask because i'll be buying springs shortly and the set up i was looking at is exactly what you have.

Nice rims by the way! All you need is some good spacers in there to get those wheels to sit nice and flush! ;)

No offense to anyone, but its nice to see someone with tyhpoons that arent gun metal every once in a while. ;) Nice car man. Good job.


EDIT: How come you didnt go with the 17x9's all around? :D

[TangyXTC]

revat: One thing i like about my setup is the agx's the fronts are 4way and the rears are 8way adjustable. Setting 2 in front and 4 in rear feels a little more stiff then stock. The ride is nice and doesnt feel too stiff, even with maximum settings.

As for the eibach sportlines, i dont really scrape much. I scrape when i go in and out of my driveway if I go head on. If i go a little sideways it doesnt scrape. When i scrape i only scrape the bottom of my front lip.

Performance wise, that 1.7" front and 1.4" in the rear made a HUGE difference. I can throw my car around in corners with ease. Just need to stiffen up the body and little and no more body row.

I went with gunmetal over silver, it makes the rim look bigger than it is. Why don't you consider have the spokes powercoated red and leave the lip polished! I honestly think it needs some contrast to make them stand out more. Also, I hate the look of the center caps and decided the leave them off, I'm having some custom flush center caps made. When they come in, I'll post some pics.

i'm just not a fan of the typhoon. The car looks better than stock, though. ;)

[Matt_240]

your car looked better with the se rims. if you want those hypersilver typhoons to look good, you gotta slam it or get 18s. i would've went with the gunmetal typhoons.
