tires mounted on! gonna go lower soon as i get an alignment. hope u guys like

once it's lower it'll be tits, stretch always looks super weird on a car when you can see the top of the tire.

Needs camber. Looks good, but I'd powercoat them another color that'll go well with your car.

Powercoat them in Hot pink!

Yes! hot pink!

ya i know. still need to get an alignment then imma have a local shop do all my suspension tuning still waiting for my gold bolts to replace the bolts now :D

ya i know. just a little tho, imo i love the way it sits right now.

Yes! hot pink!

hot pink is too loud for my taste lol but its a thought in the future.

I need some help guys.

I want or should say need to get my rear fenders rolled. I called around and was quoted anywhere from 500-800 $$$ to have them rolled. I know thats total BS.

what can I do?

Love those wheels hopefully I can get a set for me but love the look you going for.....

Scion Jon - Go to craigslist and type "fender rolling".

ajames1208 your front fenders are gonna get destroyed, if you don't get lower profile tires.

ajames1208 your front fenders are gonna get destroyed, if you don't get lower profile tires.

thats what i thought also, though my friend who rolled my fenders pulled it far enough for it to clear. but if anything i will change it in the near future.

whats the tires size and wheel width? even though you got a nice stretch, the sidewalls look tall.

im diggin the wheels ajames... but id rather see the tc sittin lower with less poke.

Do you think people that have no idea about "stance" just see a car like that and think, "That dude must've got a good deal on them rims, cause they dont even fit right on his car."... when in actuality...people dump SO much $ into lookin "wrong".

That pricing is for the rears only?!? Forget that, they sure are putting a premium on that fender roller. I found a place that does $50 a corner, just have to make a long drive. I could borrow one from a friend and do it myself but I'm still paying on the car and haven't done it before(doesn't make sense that I still want it done though lol). Might have to drive a good distance to get it done. Like on said, search on CL for fender rolling, might find someone who does it for a good price.

ajames1208, like how the tires get treated well too, with the mats placed under them lol. A bit much wheel poke for me, look forward to more updates.

^ I kind of agree with Turd. Too much for me, but I can most definitely appreciate the work that goes into a really aggressive stance.

wow. i guess i got lucky. theres a reputable shop here in jacksonville that does $50 for the fronts OR rears, or $80 for all 4 corners.

X2 on what dropzone said...

Hey, i miss SL. Hows everything been going guys.

You should have made the HD lip story a bit more dramatic, like "It was ripped off by going over a pebble on a country road."

Lmao! Haha something like that happened. The real story was when we were at a Mountain Run Cruise, the roads were being repaved and the protruding center markers caught on and ripped it off. Got it on camera. Lol

He is correct.

Did you take out a perch yet? You should also consider switching to a 35 series...that would get you pretty low.

Im a little scared to take out a perch bro. Doesn't seem very safe, you know? 35 series? I like being low and all but i hear ride quality is completely gone after going lower than a 40 series. Anyways your ca is looking good bro.

And to the other guy, specs are 17x9 et17

ya I was getting tired of the dpt look plus no one really has these wheels. and these have hella concave look

Question
Im getting a Set of Rota Torques 18x9.5 et35 with Federal 225/40/18 and Im gonna be lowered on Raceland Coilovers
Do i have to roll my fenders or no?
How hard is to roll fenders? any DIY?

i dont understand why people ask if they will rub when they are on coilovers...
everyone has their coilovers set up diff. If you have them low, yes youll rub.

google "roll fenders" you will find a plethora of info.

^ Yes, you do. I would recommend you take it to someone who has experience.

so u mean i dont have to roll fenders if i have coilovers

^ Yes, you do. I would recommend you take it to someone who has experience.

thanks.
is it expensive to do it?

How far you lower the car will dictate if you have to roll your fenders. But you don't have to.

no.
coilovers are adjustable...
fender rolling necessity would depend on ride height.

that was the answer i was looking at.

thank you very much
i will go as low as i can so i dont roll fenders.
one more question.
a 35 offset will deff poke out right

Normally I'd say search, but I'm bored.

Stock camber

Just read this thread.
Theres plenty of people who are running the exact same rims.
And even more people whoe are running exact or very similar spec rims.

^ yes and no to poke,it will depend on two things your camber and your ride height .

i like the way jon has it.

1. Do you own a heat gun?
2. Do you own a base ball bat?
3. Do you mind cutting off tabs/clips/bolts

its really not that hard, you can also use a phone book.

also do i need a camber kit?

the stock camber has enough play till -4
so you should be fine

so front and rear has to be -4

i like the way jon has it.
what r u lowered on?

thanks guys and im really sorry if im being an idiot

I'm on Hotchkis springs. About a 2" drop from stock but I think mine have settled down to about a 2.25" drop.

so front and rear has to be -4

The front isn't adjustable much without camber bolts. The rear won't have to be at -4. -2 should be enough. Mine was at -0.8 or close to that and only rubbed on dips/sharp turns.

Normally I'd say search, but I'm bored.

Wait. This is on Hotchkis? That looks like a coilover drop! Is this the same setup from the pics earlier in the thread?

Yep. I got a weird set of springs. Don't look at mine and think if you order a set it will be the same because it probably won't lol.

On stock wheels:

I'll be sticking with 17s on the next set.

AAAAAAAAAAAnnnnnndddd you didn't chop them?

Nope just took them out of the box and put them on.

Damn. Looks like those springs sit lower than my S-Techs. Do you have a system in the back? Got any wide shots of the side with the aftermarket wheels?

In the pic above I had one 12" sub in the back.

This is without the sub and spare tire .

^LMAO, even color changed the lugs too.

I actually wanna sell it, AAA didn't want to tow me the other day, because my car was "high risk"...but they thought driving on 3 lugs was less high risk. That ended up almost killing me, because with in 10 miles of driving on the freeway I snapped two wheel studs, driving on 1 wheel studs was the most sketchy thing ever. I was screaming "HOLYMOTHER____ING____IM GOING TO DIE!" Slammed on the brakes at 55...stuck right in the middle of 101 freeway.

Ohhhhh and some one bashed out my passenger window tonight, good thing i keep my laptop and camera equipment in my trunk...____ing fools didn't even see my ipod or 20 bucks in the center console.

i could actually see this lookin really sexy if you could have the rest of the bumper up there with out the single exhasut cutout you kno?

the whole bumper is cut. theres no single exhaust cutout?

the rear end is not finished yet...it takes time to do stuff right..and well im taking my time and not rushing any more of my next projects i have

YEEEEEEEE that looks sick!!!

^LMAO, even color changed the lugs too.

and his badge.

the whole bumper is cut. theres no single exhaust cutout?
i can see that im not blind. im sayin that if he would of had the stock single exhaust hole filled and then cut a new center out it would look pretty legit, but who knows maybe he is gonna build a legit rear diffusor.

oh wow that actually does sound like another good idea too

thanks for the idea about the rear bumper..but main reason why i didnt fill the whole and than cut out the center for it was because the XB2 RS Murasaki(i think i butchered the name) has it that same way and i didnt want it that way

At least you're OK and nothing else happened. I know it sucks that the wheel is messed up, but at least you can get a new one quickly. Now if it was a more expensive wheel(3 piece can be taken care of easier, but one that's one piece or 2 piece welded...), ouch.

Time for new wheels. They're getting played faster than I expected... :frown:

i was deciding between torques, grids or xxr 522 and i think im goin with xxr 522
what u guys think?

there needs to be an official flush/stanced thread.

Agreed, it's getting out if hand, yes the wheels are an aggressive offset & width, but wheel gap kills, not acceptable. A fresh start for the new year perhaps, (in regards to a new thread)?

those 522 looks nice but i hate the gap
im goin with 18x8 as i dont wanna roll fenders

Agreed, it's getting out if hand, yes the wheels are an aggressive offset & width, but wheel gap kills, not acceptable. A fresh start for the new year perhaps, (in regards to a new thread)?

make one up man, the worst that can happen is the mods will lock it. But just expect the same ____ to happen unless you have a willing mod that will clean it up.

but that car doesnt even look like it is on trd springs!

yeah I'm not hating on his ride, but it seems that everyones perception has changed about "aggressive fitment" it ties into the stanced category.

DJ08tC, you're right, if there is a mod that would clean up the thread for cars that don't fit into the prerequisites then I wouldnt have an issue making the thread. Even then I'm far from getting my car looking how I want it stance wise, my coilovers are at the mercy of customs; and wheels, well it'll be a while on that(running out of funds). It wouldn't look right having the topic starter and mod of the thread to not have their car be an example of what is sought after.

cory is a willing mod (yellowxhoodie)

but, im sure he's ____in tired of doing it everyday

With the thread being 258 pages in, not much reason to go clearing up posts from previous pages. With the new thread just cut out all the BS. Maybe this for any questions and the new one strictly pics no comments? In the first post link back to this for Q&A, IDK.

Honestly I would give it a day before someone comes in and ignores the rules and tries to give some BS about not being specific enough :P happened with the high-end wheel thread a few times..

Once upon a time, one tC owner (Shin) decided to get 18x9.5 et38 Grids. A year later, 20+ people decided to follow in his path, sad but true.

I should probably make a list for giggles.

That's why we'll discuss here a plan for the thread and go from there lol. If it's decided to make a new stanced/flush thread.

Definitely NO wheel gap is a must, wheel flushness has to be achieved(either by wheel sizing or spacers). Of course like you said it's subjective, but if it's obvious the wheels are sunk(even after spacers lol), don't dare post.

maybe just start a WFC thread?

I have a 1.8" and its definitely way lower than that. No finger gap on the rear and a pinky can barely fit on the front.

fixed

lololol i haz grids?

Maybe some people have the same taste in wheels?

lololol i haz grids?

at least you painted them or got them in white. These goofs decide to get the same color as him

lol, its only true

yeah, a ton of people have them. to be honest for the most part i have yet to really see a setup like mine in person, and even on the internet. it looks pretty good, so at this point i don't care. i'm not really going to say that i've had them longer than most of these people or defend the real-ness of my wheels, because once again, i don't care and they're fake.
there's only so many wheel and color choices. there's bound to be duplicates, especially if it looks good.
don't get me wrong, if i had the cash, i'd be changing wheel setups all the time. however, college "festivities" take away a lot of modding money, as does a lack of a job.

ROTA GRIDS ARE WHEELS TOO OKAY?!

don't get me wrong, if i had the cash, i'd be changing wheel setups all the time. however, college "festivities" take away a lot of modding money, as does a lack of a job.


I'd trade my wheels for beer money any day. It's what college is all about lol

uyles: lol im just sayin.. there's a lot of ppl with grids.. as a non-grid owner, it gets kinda boring.. hahaha nothing personal man.. js sayin

once in a while, when you get those legit baller wheels with phenomenal fitment, it just tastes that much better. :D

once again, to all you grid owners, it's nothing personal..

I think Uyles car look f'in amazing, classy as hell, which is what I like. To me even if a wheel is super common and played to hell if it's pulled off right it still looks just as good as if it wasnt. imho

nah blk i know it's not personal, i don't blame you for being bored at seeing like 20 tc's with grids, and realizing that like at least half of those tc's are probably rocking the black/gold color combo.
you're right, when i see a car with legit wheels and awesome fitment next to a car with fake wheels and awesome fitment, i generally have more respect for the car with the legit wheels because they put a lot of money into that to get it how it sits.

and DPT, that's also my position as well. i think if a car can make something look good - whether it be common/uncommon, real/fake, or unique/played - more power to the car owner (thanks for using my car as an example, haha).
generally the only thing that having "fake" wheels such as Grids does is save you money. it's still possible to put just as much work into a car with "fake wheels" as others with "real wheels". i can attest to that, as i've had personal experience.

at the end of the day, it really comes down to the car owner and their life. it's a combination of planning, time, and money (in order of importance). without those three things, you generally can't make a "show worthy" car such as e-famous tc's like Blk's, Shin's, Flip's, Rib's, Socal's, and pretty much every other car most tc enthusiasts look(ed) up to.

it helps to be open minded.
with that being said, 4x4's should get the ____ out of this thread, 'cause we like stance and not dirt jumping and ____.

Uyles= Sexy car.

About the "Stanced thread" Issues i second that notion.
I hardly get on here anymore because its all cluttered with nonsense and lazy people that asks the same questions over and over again. Search and research. But yeah, Hai Guise!

I get on here hoping someone is doing something original or rare.
I know I'm asking for a lot.

Ditto. Thats hard to find though. One day it'll happen
The only one i recall was Cynce Tester and her widebody boosted tc. We nee more people like her.

^I feel the same way. Which has me in a dilemma on wheel selection. There's already tC on titanium chrome Grids, which was one wheel budget wise that I was looking at. And I've been looking around for used Work, Volk, SSR, etc. JDM wheels. IDK which way I want to go.

I get on here hoping someone is doing something original or rare.

LOL you're in the wrong forum buddy. hell, you're in the wrong scene for that matter. stance killed originality.

^^Regarding wheels, pal.

He still has a point. You'd have to either get a really old or a really expensive wheel to be unique. I can't think of anyone on here that fits that bill.

The only people who shine in the stanced community, are the ones with deep pockets...

Better rare (since you're ruling out original) than overdone.
Anyway, it's been debated already.

I just appreciate any car that is clean and well put together. Not like my POS. haha

The only people who shine in the stanced community, are the ones with deep pockets...

Not necessarily, if you can catch a good deal on the stuff you buy, whether through homie hookup, "I have to sell these soon cuz I'm leaving the country or whatever" type deal, discounted from a vendor, then deep pockets isn't exactly needed. There's also sponsorships, but all I would really want/need is tires though. It's playing it smart, doing your research, networking and getting connections. I'm lacking in networking and connections which is why I pretty much pay retail for most of the things I buy.

I'm late to checking out this note posted on Fatlace...
http://fatlace.com/slammedsociety/reps-or-real/
At least they came to a conclusion of car selection and how they are featured. I still find it all iffy, when Volk released the Seibon edition wheel, I think they ____ed up right there, as Seibon has copied some higher end aero, main example that gets posted is the CF hood by Voltex for the Evo(8, 9?).

He still has a point. You'd have to either get a really old or a really expensive wheel to be unique. I can't think of anyone on here that fits that bill.

if i felt like it i know i could easily do it ... rare and old don't need to be expensive if you know where to look.

if i felt like it i know i could easily do it ... rare and old don't need to be expensive if you know where to look.

With the way you find stuff I wouldn't doubt it lol.

With the way you find stuff I wouldn't doubt it lol.

once i get back on my feet i might give it a shot. im itchy to try some new wheels again. so lets see how i feel after jan when i have some money to burn. ive seen some awesome deals fly by infront of me but i just didnt have funds for it. FTL!!

right now i spotted a set of work meisters 18x9/18x8 +25 all around for 1200... and its like fFUUUufFufuUFUfuFUUFUFUUFUUU

^ LOL.

That makes sense. I could never get tired of LM's.

i got tired of my LMs fast lol once u have them its no big deal lol


Last time I checked there were very few tc's on real or fake LM's. Now there are quite a few.

I've had too many real/fake wheel debates in my day so I'm not going there. But basically, I'm a college kid and fake wheels saved me money...

Rotiform ROC's coming soon....

which is exactly why i got rid of mines the minute i finally restored them and put them on.

right now i spotted a set of work meisters 18x9/18x8 +25 all around for 1200... and its like fFUUUufFufuUFUfuFUUFUFUUFUUU



That's how it always goes, well for me it does. If I didn't have to drop over a grand on coilovers(they are worth it, and it's needed to make that car sit and look good) and misc stuff for the car, I'd be all over that too.

I've seen a post for Volk AV3 for a grand, 18x9/10 +44, needs adapters to work though, that'll get them under the fenders fine.

right now i spotted a set of work meisters 18x9/18x8 +25 all around for 1200... and its like fFUUUufFufuUFUfuFUUFUFUUFUUU

If you've got the hook-up, let me know!
I'm looking for a specific set.

^I feel the same way. Which has me in a dilemma on wheel selection. There's already tC on titanium chrome Grids, which was one wheel budget wise that I was looking at. And I've been looking around for used Work, Volk, SSR, etc. JDM wheels. IDK which way I want to go.

honestly, i think the biggest bull____ reasoning in this scene today is the fact that people shy away from doing something just because someone else has already done something similar. so what that there's another tC on titanium chrome Grids? if that's what you like, ____ing buy those wheels and try to top the person that did it. if you top the person that did it, they're going to try to top you right back. friendly competition is what keeps ____ alive.

don't just look at all these expensive wheels because people will "respect you more". honestly, if you're going to respect someone based off of the amount of money they're willing to spend on something, that's crap. do you really think a large amount of people respect the women that buy $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to be what society would call "attractive"? i highly doubt it.

respect should be given based on the time you spend on it, the attention you give to details, your intelligence on the subject, and your overall plan and if it was executed well. respect shouldn't be given based on the fact that someone spent $3,000 more than the other person. at the end of the day, those $3,000 18x9.5 +38 wheels are going to require the same amount of work to fit on my car as the $1,000 18x9.5 +38 wheels are, and if you yourself put in the time and effort, you should be rewarded with respect.
if someone buys $4,000 wheels and has no true knowledge of fitment, has someone else do all the hard labor for them, and does no research, are you going to respect them? once again, i highly doubt it. there's a reason a lot of people tell the noobs to "search" on forums. we all took the time and did the work ourselves, and you should too. in the end it's really a favor, because it's more rewarding that way.

don't strive for orignality because you think it'll for some reason make you "better" than someone else who "jocked someone elses style". the desire to be more unique than other people isn't really a unique idea. don't fall into that strand of thinking because then you yourself are going to be everything you're trying to stay away from. as far as stance goes, we're all trying to do one thing: get from point A to point B, and look good doing it. most of us buy clothes to look good. those clothes can be from the thrift store or from Louis Vuitton, but if you look good, no one is really going to judge you.

this is all regarding wheel choice. i'm not telling everyone to go clone someone's style, i'm telling people to find a style you enjoy, and tweak it to your liking. that's really how most people live their lives, even if it's subconsciously. think about it.
dropzone this quote was the most easily accessible/recent, so i just used it as an example. it's not personal attack on you at all, so don't trip. haha. even if i'm just misinterpreting what you said, my point still stands. alright cool.

here's an old picture so there can at least be a picture with a metric ____ ton of text:

hopefully it can inspire people who are on the fence to make a right decision, not just something that makes them e-famous.

LMAO, I've been wanting to use that for a moment

There is no offense taken at all here. Of course only one person can get ____ first, but to make it look good(speaking of wheel choice), someone will strive to make it fit better/best in fitment. Are you trying to convince me to get Grids? lol

hahaha, no i'm not really trying to convince you, dropzone. that TLDR paragraph was basically just directed at everyone, you just happened to be quoted. it's a more logical approach to that kind of ____ i guess.
i don't know, i've been studying/writing all day, i'm just in that mood. ____ finals. hahaha.

but yes, clearly:

^Retarded argument is retarded. I like how in Fatlace's response, they point to Rotiform for being original, yet the BLQ is a rep of the OEM Gallardo LP560-4 wheel.

http://i54.tinypic.com/16knaec.jpg

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2778/4118298276_9d17a1dc38_b.jpg

IMHO just respect cars that are done right. Sure real wheels would help make it just a little bit more awesome, but if it's done right as far as fitment goes, its done right.

I just hate people who got that mad JDM Ego, and say everyone is jockin them...

USDM Ego, brochacho!

But once I drop 3k on some metal, and rubber my attitude might change :P

^The Rotiform and Gallardo wheel dispute was brought up in the SW forum IIRC. I don't know what to say...
There's supposedly another thread before this was started discussing the wheel http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12637

Now I'm not hating on Rotiform, they do make nice wheels. However the people attempting to defend them couldn't make a logical argument to save their lives.

In my opinion, Rotiforms arent exactly replicas, because they took a design, and made it their own, and since it has evolved into so much more. When have you ever seen a 'Rep' company such as rota or axis do that?

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but is this not exactly the case with Rota? Grids have more concavity than TEs and a greater curve where the spoke meets the barrel. Torques have more concavity and thinner spokes than Kais. I'm just speaking about the design here, not the manufacturing process or materials used.

Yeah, they're not exact measurements. Just a ripped design.

Just like Wald Duchatlet, Work Euroline, SSR Vienna Dish, Insurance Group, Leon Hardiritt and other higher end wheel manufacturers have this similar full faced wheel...

http://www.d2autosport.com/D2_2006/06_Wheels/wheels/works/WORK%20EUROLINE%20DH.jpg

http://hlh.com.my/wp-content/gallery/rims/VIENNA%20DISH-EV.jpg

I don't see anyone calling them out as one being rep of another.

its not about whats a rep or not. its about who makes the rep. If Work or SSR made a forged copy of a Volk Racing wheel (or vice versa), nobody (well almost) would think twice about rocking them. if a company with questionable engineering and manufacturing quality makes a rep, then its hated on.

same thing applies to fashion. $200 designer jeans all get the same respect even though they all more-or-less look the same.

in order to really debate this whole topic, you really just need to understand economics and have some logic.
that's pretty much the bottom line, as it is with most debates. if you understand the big picture and can present it logically, you're chillin'. it's obviously not as effective over the internet, but it's pretty much the only place that this happens so eh.

and to HKSpeed's point on fashion...he's right. the whole entire "stance" industry can basically be compared in every way to the fashion industry, because in the end of the day, we're mostly doing it to look fly.

jeeez so much ruckus going on in this forumn wth! lol...wheels are wheels point done ____ lol they look, good rock them who gives a fudge what they are! lmao
