Turborusty Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 well he did say that they use the centers of your wheels correct? This turned out to be a whole new cast center, at least that's how I read it. Turborusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 How else would it work? LOL You going to remove the face/spokes from a one piece rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrvwbug Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I agree with 17" front & rear.. I'm just not a fan of dif dia front and rear look. Plus 17's you can get in any size under the sun. :iagree: 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakergavin Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi, Sorry it's been quiet.I have gotten the OK from the DOT now, and some tires and taken pictures. I amnow just goingto do a CAD model of the wheels to show the offsets and I will post the GP. I have driven the car on them a couple of times & they seem really good. I should have gone with the wider tires as noted by some posters as there is still a lot of clearance available.( I went with 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear) The outer lips of the rims are level with the inner lip of the wheel arches so with a lowered car I'd say the rims are about ideal on size if fitted with a slightly wider tire than I used.. Oh well. WhenI took the photos the suspension didn't compress again when I lowered the jack. I will try again tomorrow and try to get the proper look. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakergavin Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Oh BTW,here are the pics I have already taken. Can someone give me guidance on how to post pictures? I tried using the insert image button but it kept telling me I had an invalid filemname format. Using the attachment upload button only gives 500k.. www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3912147648/in/photostream/ www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3911365621/in/photostream/ www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3912148776/in/photostream/ www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3912148382/in/photostream/ www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3912148776/in/photostream/ www.flickr.com/photos/8012954@N07/3912148556/in/photostream/ Thanks.

yzrider Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Depending on price i'd be down for a set. This would allow more tire choices and bigger brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) quick glimpse at what it would look like lowered... http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/17sSlammed.jpg I like them, but it needs wider tires Get a price estimate yet?

dem0ntsi Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) what are the widths and offset choices? looks REAL good Edited September 12, 2009 by dem0ntsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 what are the widths and offset choices? looks REAL good As I understand it, you will be able to choose the width and offset because they are a three piece design.

Dave-O Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Any possibility just the faces could be purchased? It looks like there's room to work with on diameter, I was thinking a 16" wheel with a 9"/10" width stagger, +0 offsets on both, using custom barrels. Beautiful work!

sakergavin Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 As the site is running again and I now have prices I will post the GP info in a few hours when I get to my home computer.
