I got a set on order in SBC 18x9.5+38
Damn that Z looks good. Everytime I see those wheels on a car I love them more and more

nice, from who?
sucks for the guys that got em from the first group buy though, haha.
now theres gonna be a bunch more floating around out there.

^ Yea... but there is only 4 of us I believe that got them this time around. And we got em from Dezod

Me, Spd_Rcr, and I think one other guy picked up a set from the Dezod group buy. Too bad they aren't as rare as they once were in that sizing/bolt pattern. But legit nonetheless.

Well I believe Dezod posted that most of the 5x100's went to the subies anyway...

30 people out there with a split between tC's and subies = still rare. Nice wheels fellas!

This is what was posted in the thread about them

I can tell you that of all of the 18x9.5 sold, only 4 went to Scion guys.

Thats just from the run that Dezod did though. I dont know how many in the first run with the other company

with touge factory i think like 28 sets were made?? maybe less maybe more

I think only 4 sets went to tC guys the first time too.

I had 1 (Chicos now)
Marcial got 1
and David got 2

and TF only ordered 15 sets for the group buy, dont know if they ever ordered more.

So 30 sets out there? Does that mean we can post in the "rare" wheel thread even though four SL guys will be posting up the same wheels? Lol

What size tires are you guys with the second GB for RPF's going to run?

What size tires are you guys with the second GB for RPF's going to run?

Well Im gonna be trying to get a lil bit of traction so for the front Im gonna be running 235/40/18 Nitto NT05's. for the rear prob. same size or 225's in the nitto Neo Gens

I'm still torn between 215/40 and 225/40.

215's if you want the same fitment as mine. i'm still planning on pushing my wheels out more with spacers (at least the front, already have 15mm rears), that's why the stretch is coming in handy. if you're not going to be spacing the wheels out more, you can probably roll with 225's.
215's are just going to cause you less problems down the road if you want to space out your wheels.

^ True. I guess it all comes down to the best deal. But those Nankangs are CHEAP! I still can't find a shop willing to put 215's on a 9.5" wheel though...

yeah my nankangs were cheap as hell. hahaha. it took me like 15-20 calls but i finally got it.

^ True. I guess it all comes down to the best deal. But those Nankangs are CHEAP! I still can't find a shop willing to put 215's on a 9.5" wheel though...
215 on a 9.5 is baby stuff, it took me around 12-15 shops to get a 215 on a 10 hahahha.

I'm gonna be putting 225/35 on a 10

Yea there's alot of shops that won't stretch tires but I finally found a shop that did it but It was about an hour from were I live. 215/40/18

Do 215.

This guy knows whats up.

I'm gonna be putting 225/35 on a 10

Dave, you sold the AME's? What is the new setup or is it disclosed to the public? 225/35's will look nice on those tens. Can't wait to see it.


I put 225's on my tens as well.

Yea I sold the AME's in December. The new set is hush hush cus I don't have them yet and I don't want to jynx myself

215 on a 10? You guys are nuts. I'll take baby steps...

But I think I'll run 215/40. I spoke with a shop about 40 minutes from me and they're confident that they can do it.

I'm doin 225/35 if I was gonna do 215's on a 10 they would be 40's

So 30 sets out there? Does that mean we can post in the "rare" wheel thread even though four SL guys will be posting up the same wheels? Lol

i posted mine when i got them.
seeing as theyre kind of "custom" and theyre expensive. haha

Jasper did u ask them how much they were going to charge you? Cause I didn't and when I got there he said $80 to mount and balance and that didn't even include switching over my tire pressure sensors but I did it cause I already had drove an hour and he didn't wanna budge to kick down the price, he also wanted to charge me like$5 to dismount my old tires and like another $10 for the sensors for each wheel, so I was like F$ck that! I'm good just mount and balance and didn't cross my mind to ask cus I was excited that I had found a place that would do it

^ Nope. I expect to pay around $100. And I won't mind if they do a good job. What you got charged doesn't seem half bad, though.

i mean compared to other peps that ive heard only pay between $30-$60 i thought i over payed but oh well thats just me, when you getting them tires thrown on?

When you gonna post some pics??

r u talking to me? i posted some pixs of the tire stretch and if your talking about full car pixs not till i throw my function and forms back on cus i had to take my car in to the dealer ship so my warranty would cover my wheel bearing, caliper bracket, axle, and the 17mm bolts i believe that hold the caliper brackets and since the day i got my car back i havent had a chance to throw them on

dam..so you rinding 4x4 status?

yea i feel like im driving a lifted a$$ Truck and sometimes i even feel like im driving a tc like the one from miami that some one on here spoted on chrome 22. LMAO!! BALLIN!!

Lol

I'll have them on the day the wheels arrive. Lip should be on in about a week, and then it's done.

Just shows that McDonald's is not the only thing that'll make you say "I'm lovin' it."

i think the back width/camber/offset is just too aggressive. its like DD boobs. you stare at them because they're amazing in a freakish way, but you wouldnt want to live with them. sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.

wuddup milt..

I agree with the to agressive fitment...but I beg to differ on the boob comment...lol just sayin...

i second the boob comment, bigger is not always better

I dunno about that comparison, your saying one of the bestthings ever are meh. The fitment is on point, if you like sunken battle ships...well I guess this isn't your style :)

perhaps youre a DD kinda guy. I like Bs and Cs. I also liked your car better on the rotas.

back in 2006 when I first put 18x8.5/9 et30 SSRs on my tC, people thought I was crazy. times have changed LOL.

Nahh I only like a hand full too.
The Torques were cool, but got sick of um, they are with a cool dude now, anyways got plans for the Miros...gonna make um pop.

HKSpeed i just loved that comparison!

That accord is fabulous,

first xb looks photoshopped

definatly photoshopped

Ok I need some advice. My front fenders are pulled and are about even with the rears. So with the new wheels I just got I was wondering if i sould go with a 20mm adapter in the front or keep it all the same and do 25 mm all around.

uhh what are your wheel/tire specs.

my boy Erich took them and i edited them, the full shoot is in my picture thread. here they are:

^Your theme reminds me of one of those 30th anniversary Trans Am with transparent blue chrome wheel finish. It looks good, imo.

^I thought the same when I first seen it,

Shot by Guillermo aka GPRAuto... Low'N Slow rolling.... It rained this morning so what better than to drive to the beach in this crappy weather, funny thing is that the sun came out when we got to our destination...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gthmf_vQOQ&feature=player_embedded

i have a dilemma guys.... i have the money to buy my dream wheels now but if i buy them i would be cutting myself short on cash for other things.....

should i suck it up and buy them ($1700-2000 for them) or should i cheap out and get Rotas ($900) and use the money for other stuff....

I'm in the same situation. Baller wheels vs. getting my car exactly the way I want it (minus wheels).

the other stuff isnt so much car stuff, its money i need for my move to georgia, but i still have 2-3 more pay checks comin from work that'll be enough for that.... but do i want extra money or scraping buy, i have been looking for this set of wheels in sizes close to this one for a year now.... since before i bought my AME's and this is why i got the AME's because i couldnt find these....

get the wheels... you will never be satisfied with any other wheel trust me. Im in the same boat. Want some TE37's... I keep cheapin out but now Im on my like 8th set of wheels

you found your dream wheels from a private seller? if not id get your last few checks, Move, after you settle down see how much you got if it isn't much keep saving for it man. In my opinion materialistic stuff can wait

Well the break down is this if I get tge wheels I want I'd have $600 left over plus my $1000 check this week and next week lol or if I got the cheap wheels (rotas) I'd have $1400 left over plus my checks.... I think I'm gonna go with my dream wheels...

^ you will feel alot better about it. If you dont you will be selling those rota's shortly because you are not satisfied trust me

oh then if you got the doe I'd say get the wheels. I thought about getting rota's too but just going to keep saving for my wheels as well... What's the spec's of your dream wheels?

I'll let you know the specs when I order them. Some people here (coughpetecough) will be able to find the wheels based on the specs haha.

Nah I'm just kidding. 18x8.5 +17 fronts 18x10 +23 rear 215/35 fronts 225/35 rear

hahaha sounds sexy cant wait to see them on your car !

Me either

ordering wheels today :X

Just ordered!!!

:rofl: how long will shipping take?

Haha about a week I still need to get 2 tires.

Wheels are......






18x8.5 +17 front with 215/35
18x10 + 23 rear with 225/35
Work Equip :)

nice choice i want some work as well:biggrin:

I've wanted to see Equips on a tC forever, I want(ed) to pick up some but don't really want to run adapters. What finish are the wheels Dave?

They are a dark silver

After running adapters with AME's I don't mind them. They are just like spacers.

Can't wait to see them. Those specs are before or after the adaptors?

After tge adapters are 15mm

^How much did they run you Dave?

A lot more then I was happy to spend /: but they are completely refinished so they are pretty much like new. Let's see if my adapters fit or if I have to cut my studs or put a slip on spacer on these...


edit: just found some 5mm slip on spacers in the back of my car lol, called up Tommy at wheel dude and ordered 2 more so specs are now:
18x8.5 +12 and 18x10 +21 lol

Yes yes yes! Dave tour my hero.

Haha thanks bro. I messes up on the offset of the rear it's 18 not 21

Nice choice

So cutting studs is ok, I have been seeing and hearing sooo many mixed things about this.

and SEXY wheels man they are approved

That's going to be sick Dave. Can't wait to see them on.

thanks guys, much more/better pics coming next week.

Not a fan of that design. I'll have to see them on the car.

soon, i think they'll look good they are a simply 5 spoke.

I am digging those barrels, though. I love it when you can smuggle babies in them.
Who smuggles babies?

lol im just pumped i made these the last set im getting for the tC.

Lol i'll give it a couple of months

I never really post... But I'm feeling a little ballsy... Be easy.

Here's the situation and my intentions. The wheels are 18x8 and I can't think of the offset at the moment... I'm a little "enlightened". I'm running 225/40s and I'm going to 215/35s sometime this month. When I run the narrower tire, I'll max out my coils and probably end up removing perchs front and rear. I'll also need to get spacers all around. Fenders are already rolled so no scrubbing except in the front because of the meaty tires. Color is waveline pearl these pics were just edited to look badass.

PS-Don't mind my cardomain link in my sig... It is way outdated.

^ The OG's are gonna get you for not posting wheel specs including offset, and rear profile shots that show how "aggressive" the wheel stance is.

not aggressive just low.

unless its a super low offset, i dont see how a 8" wide wheel would be aggressive on a tC.

I know, just wanted to show you guys a little progress. No it's not flush or aggressive at the moment but it is low. I can't go any lower right now until I get narrower tires. I plan to be sitting aggressive as ____ I just wanted to show a little before pics so that when I post later you'll see how far it came. Just wanted to know what you guys would think of the car in its current state.

Konig Lace 18x8 +35 so it's a very weak setup. I was going to put on some spacers to remedy that. Thanks for the input.

25mm spacers wouldn't fix your issue...just get new rims...

asdgfgfsgdfg, found my wheels mad cheap with tires locally, basically new, trying to go get em tonight.

Dope. What wheels may that be?

(2) 18x9.5 +15 and (2) 18x10.5 +15 RPF1's

(2) 18x9.5 +15 and (2) 18x10.5 +15 RPF1's

Very nice!! I wanted some rpf1's for the longest but even with the group buy for SBC, it was outta my budget lol. How much you get 'em for(if you don't mind me asking)?

And what finish?? That sizing ossum!

nbm08tc post some big pics lol i need a new desktop background :icon_smile:

giggity.

http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af144/yellowxhoodie/350Z/RPF1.jpg

Niiiiiicccce

Indeed. Keeping them black?

More than likely, only other finish i was considering was SBC but these popped up locally and ive always been on the fence about how SBC looks on white cars anyways.

I agree

I think SBC looks good on white cars. It's gonna look stupid on Flint Mica, though. :/

This.

:tongue:

ACtually... its not that bad. But photoshop could give me false hope.

http://i750.photobucket.com/albums/xx143/Jasperashmusic/tcPhotoshopcopy.jpg

Lol I was just joking. The smoke-ish look of the SBC will look great against FM.

I know. But I still don't like it. Well... It's not that I don't like it, but I like it better on red, blue, white, green, and any other color but black. lol

SBC would look sick on fm

it looks alright i guess, but i still think it looks best on darker colors.

@Mark: Your car looks sick!!! Diggin the new grill!

Tom11x, how do you like those hellas? How was the install?

Man those look sick bruh, im trying to get my tC hellaflush but im a noob at this :D

:doh:

So I have been to 4 diff. places trying to get my 205-40 on my 9.5's. No one can seem to do it. using cheeta and all? Should I get 215-45? Or are they doing something wrong?

its doable, what kind of tires?

btw can anyone help me understand wheel fitment and offsets! i know the wheels i want to get and i thought about 17x11.5" any help id appreciate it!!!

They are falken 512"s

uuhhhhuhuhuhhhhhuhhhhhhuhhh

Holy ____ I wouldn't go that wide if your not even familiar with offsets...

Your going to need some major cutting, pulling, rolling, trimming of the fenders.

You could go with 17x10.5 et20 rear. That would be a perfect started setup, since all you would need is a decent roll/pull, and some trimming of clips.

just my opinion, why would you do somthing your not sure about..and if your not sure about anything i would not throw some 11.5's on there if its your first time trying to do fitment...geez..just start off with the normal 17x9.5's or 18x9.5s to start with.

like i said.
google.

like i said.
giggle.


Fixed it for ya!

Tom11x, how do you like those hellas? How was the install?


its loud already. i just connect to the stock hardness. if you connect to the battery it would be louder.

x2.

thatta boy.

initiation. haha

ugh..have I taught you nothing

heetgun them chits lmao

Lol. I've already taken off the rocker moulding and it's not that bad. I'll have it sanded down and repainted. Then I just need to order a few clips. Should be back to normal in a few days.

Perfect opportunity to get OEM GFX sides.

or sell the tc and get something manly ;)

Freaking ups taking forever!!! It's 4 pm and the wheels haven been delivered yet :(

yeah i figured out 17x11.5" is a little extreme, but i got a buddy to help me out with all my measurments i need. when im done its gonna be slick and sick ;)

daymm did this to my RS1 side, and the tabs broke...

Stock skirts and rear ftmfw.

Two tabs broke and three clips need replaced. I'm going to try to fix the tabs with epoxy and fiberglass cloth.
If that doesn't work I'm just going to ziptie everything back on.

Is this why people say "sucks to roll hard"? :shrug:

Haha yup

SUCKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss

sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i really like how that first pic came out hehe makes me wanna go snap a couple more :P

how big are those lips?

idk, a $20 sits in the 10's perfectly

Damn... looks sexy. Cant wait for them to be mounted. Baller wheels!

damn, very nice dave!

Dope wheels, dave! Damn.

Nice! I like rims that have rivets on them it gives it more of a wow!! To it, what size tires u wrapping them in?

those are bolts not rivets..... 3 piece wheels bro.

thanks everyone for the props.

sizing:
f: 18x8.5 +12 (after spacers) 215/35/18 tires
r: 18x10 +18 (after spacers) 225/40/18 tires

not sure about what i'll need for camber yet, but the car will be lowered more too

you can still go moar low in the front? Mine are maxed out!

Yea I just tweaked them. I can probably go another inch lower

what did you do?? Cause i already removed 2 perch rings and compressed them as much as they would go.

:doh:any suggestions to make it fit? gonna be running 215/40's... I actually only test fitted, so once tires are mounted it might be a bit easier to see how much i need to fix...might not be too hard

^ jeezus lol

got poke?

looks like Angelina Jolie's lips pucker'n up... thats what you should name your tc... Angelina

Yea I just tweaked them. I can probably go another inch lower

please tell lol.

what size are they?

lol. dang, man. about time you got those.

Yeah Robert, took a while had some setbacks but it's here now. Just waiting for free time to mount and my r40s to come in the mail.

what size are they?

They are 18x8.5 et30 front and 18x9 et24 rear

You should have no problems my last set was 18x9 +16 all around with 215/35's and my new set is 18x8.5 +12 front and 18x10 +18 rear 215/35's up front and 225/40's in the rear

has anyone done 215/35 on a 10 yet? sounds a little scary

^I think SoCal is running 215/40 on his 17x10 miros. 35 should be doable.

Thanks davedave. Was your 215/35s a big stretch? I don't wanna go too stretched...

old pic but im bored. =]

what poke? lol

I've seen it done, wanted to go with 215/35/17's all around, but they are wayyyy out of my price range.

Yeah Robert, took a while had some setbacks but it's here now. Just waiting for free time to mount and my r40s to come in the mail.

I wanna shoot your car when it's all done. I'll be home in 4 weeks, lol.

old pic but im bored. =]

what poke? lol

I dont really wanna poke too much or camber at -4° :? reminds me of mexican low riders with the wire frame wheels and extended axels back in the 90s...

I wanna shoot your car when it's all done. I'll be home in 4 weeks, lol.

For sure man just send me a text or something whenever youre home. I wonder if theres any stance meets in NorCal...so far all the good ones have been in LA.

18x10 -1

tires getting mounted today, tech couldnt do it yesterday, and no tire shop would mount them because i didnt buy the tires with them....... gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

No mom and pop shops?

nah, i work at a dealership so im gonna try to have ones of the techs just mount them....

i got new radiator hoses in so i might pay to have those put on and just have him mount the tires while hes doing that...

What size tires will you be running? Is that what's stopping anyone from mounting them?

its not that noone will do it, its just that town fair tire wont because i didnt buy the tires with them.... but im getting it done at work today

Ok I gotcha. That's cool man! I'm excited to see what it looks like. Wish I could afford nice rims but no... Gonna order some xxr's and be ballin on a budget

Talked to the tech looks like tires are goin on tomorrow /: I hate when stuff gets pushed back.

Hayseed which xxr rims are you going with?

I'm debating between 527's in 9.75 wide and 526's in 10 wide. Also debating between 17's or 18's. I'll decide once I get my tax return.

Yea Those are pretty clean I would have bought the xxr527 if I would have known before I bought my xxr522 but oh well I'm still good with what I got. These brands have pretty good size and offsets for just the right price, especially if your Balling on a Budget!"

I like the 522's and their price but I couldnt find the offset I wanted without having to run a 5x114 adapter... But the 527's and 526's have mean offsets at et20/25. I'll probably run 5mm spacers up front and 8mm in the rear

Yea I Was iffy about running 5x114 adapter on these rims I wanted and also the shop told me they wouldn't recommend it, that's the only thing about the xxr 522 the offset isn't all that crazy, but I'm about to throw 8mm spacers on the rear and still debating if i should throw 5mm spacers up front

Running adapters is the same as running spacers. There's nothing wring with them.

Yeah adapters are pretty much the same thing as spacers. They're just a pain to put on.

Running adapters is the same as running spacers. There's nothing wring with them.

You've been running them all around on your tC (which is your daily?) for a loooonng time now, right? No complaints?

BTW, I'm trying to remember that website that sells refinished japanese wheels. Can anyone help me out?

EDIT: Found it. NVM.

Yea I've been running them for 4 years now on and off (both spacers and adapters) with no problems at all.
