Are you rubbing at all in the front?

^ yeah but are your wheels rubbin too?
dvlnblkdrs
10-29-2008, 06:37 PM
not from what i can tell.. but then again, this was only done a few hours ago with not much driving on it yet...
the tires themselves are the same size as my stocks were.. idk what offset my stock toyo alloys are... but these do look a bit bigger

LOL!
Anyway, my guess is that they'll rub just a bit under hard cornering and bumps. My +38 offset wheels (with 205/50/15 tires) rubbed. Then again, you've got 45 series tires which is the way to go.

im on coilovers, so if i rub, ill just bump em up.. being adjustable is just so nice! :biggrin:

Great looking wheel. I'm just not sure about the color combination.

Wow. I thought this was a guy's car at first.
Didn't know a girl's taste could transfer over so well to a car. Usually doesn't, but you're obviously an exception.
The wheels match the car perfectly and the color is perfect. Black lugs will be the cherry on the top.

The color of the car will be changing.. when, im not sure.. paint is expensive and i wanna do that last.. What color will it be, The green that is only offered JDM.. :biggrin: and no idk that these wheels will be on at that time, but i wanted to plan ahead an keep it safe.. these pix were taken with a cell phone, so colors not exactly true.. they look more bronze in these pix than they are.. they are more of a dark gray irl
everyone else, thank you for your support.. Mork is happy with his new shoes

heh, thanks Peter, I will definitely take this as a compliment.. I have spent over a year searching for just the right wheel to be my first. This is my first modified car and I really wanted to do it right. i consider myself quite a stylish person and can shop for pretty much anyone.. Mork, is no exception :biggrin:
And yes, i really cant wait for those black lugs, ebay need to hurry up.. and my Domo dolls too! :thumbup:

Yea its probably the picture. They looked a little bronze in direct light. I wish I would have found those first, they would be on my car!

heh thanks kuro! i decided to keep them.. they seem to be stuck on there more than some of the others.. its not just something u pop on, its like on there for good!
i guess i'll have to do a photoshoot to give Joe some new pix so he can update the sig for me.. im so not computer savvy enough to do something as cool as that :biggrin:
orange, Garm was actually the first one who found them.. he bought his direct from Germany before Tirerack even had them.. when he went to sell them, he took a loss on it cuz Tirerack had them for almost half the price he paid for them.. so there is one person who was on here, from san diego who had purchased them from Garm, then everyone was telling me i had to have them.. soon they grew on me.. i loved them but was afraid the vw people would shyte a brick n chuck it at me.. lol but poo on them cuz they are simply fantastic.. even though they are quite heavy weighing in at 20 lbs...

I think they would look great on the green. Maybe get some better pictures, but yeah like you were saying the camera phone is never flattering.

Damn that's a sexy combination. Those tires look rad !! Great choice. Also unique. Haven't seen those wheels on any other ride. You've got quite an eye for style !! BTW heavy wheels need love too !!

Very nice new shoes. You'll have to update your signature banner now.
Is it me or do those look bigger than 16's?
dvlnblkdrs
11-02-2008, 01:30 PM
they do look bigger than 16's, heck, they look bigger than my stock 16" alloys.. but they are 16.. i think its the tire.. the tire looks bigger than a 45 series as well... idk, guess theres just a magnifying glass on the lens... hah

i almost got these wheels as a winter package for my car....they look great!
dvlnblkdrs
11-06-2008, 09:23 PM
winter? oh no no no no no! too nice to ruin with all that crap.. luckily california has no winter, so these will be on 365.. i may eventually go back to my stock alloys, just because they are so rare.. but i will powder coat em darker, more like this color, cuz this color is sexy!
