i think there kinda ugly tho, i like the BBS meshies, not the enkeis. thats just my personal taste. my enkeis are cool, dont get me wrong, i just dont dig them much.

Post by: rabbitman on April 18, 2010, 12:29:48 am: Why'd you need different wheels just to lower it?

Post by: mystery3 on May 10, 2010, 08:22:55 pm: What size/tires are you running? I'm thinking about getting some of these http://diamondracingwheels.com/ministock.html (http://diamondracingwheels.com/ministock.html) either in 13x7 or 13x8 and I'm researching tires for street duty.
Title: Re: I consider my new wheels upgrades.....
Post by: lovinthedeez on May 14, 2010, 06:49:14 am: Gonna have to revise the back tire situation because now I have two 14's of the same, and gonna stagger them once its lowered. how they look now on 175/70/13. It's all rewired up with newer stuff from bumper to bumper, but low is taking a little longer. got almost all the bits, so, thats when the stagger will happen. not sure of the size yet.

Post by: burn_your_money on May 14, 2010, 06:59:28 am: I vote 10mm spacer in the rear and leave the rest alone
Title: Re: I consider my new wheels upgrades.....
Post by: lovinthedeez on May 14, 2010, 07:39:17 am: best part about this setup is that this is how they rolled off the line in terms of wheel size and tire. but i agree on the spacing, which will happen. i like this setup here alot.
