I dont particularly like the design or stretch. Good wheel for quality, but ugly in my opinion.


(why is it that when someone doesnt like something, they are automatically a hater?? A hater implies jelousy. Cant not liking something just be an opinion?)

probably i'm not sure,

the wheel is a great design, looks phenominal in person

i wanted to get an open face of a 5 spoke but still have a semi mesh so i got these, i love them.

scott i gotta get the brembos and get the ____ picked up tomorrow and put in. thats the goal for tomorrow. car wont be done for elmhurst i can guarantee it

Scott8
08-23-2008, 02:03 AM
you did more then planned for the elmhurst show

let me know what White Eagle charged you for the paint since lip kit is in my future and they are nice and close

also, let me know if you need an extra pair of hands for installing

nebster

the difference is that when neb hates its for a legitimate reason...beacause rims are ugly and/or cheap. if you hate on these then your just pretty much ignorant. even if you dont like the design you still have to consider how much time went into them.

and the fact that you took all that time to look up all those things neb said...wow.

i doubt it was that hard to find those post, just look up any thread with a non nut hugging brand where he has posted and you will probably find a disparaging comment.

you defining a legitimate reason as rims being ugly is laughable as that is a subjective quality.

These wheels look plain to me, yes they are expensive, yes he had to wait. Whoop de doo. I can find plenty of ugly designs by work, volk, and [insert nut hugger brand here] where i would have to wait for the proper offset to be made and shipped. It doesn't mean I am a hater if I say i don't like the look of the aforementioned ugly nut hugger wheels.

coming from you is hilarious.... awesome grey konig wheels with polished lips.... super unique

you have no idea what quality is do you?

2 piece forged that weigh ~18 lbs per wheel that were custom made by work wheels? yeah they're not crazy lexani's but thats not my style. i don't think i've seen

its funny your consider Volk and Works "nut hugger brands". seriously, i lol'd when i read that.

and im sure everyone on here could find "ugly" rims and have to wait for them.

My wheels were free. How much were yours?

I also never made a post about my wheel "debut"

I just was expecting to see something more like eujin's or tina's thats all.

p.s. I have custom bronze Volks on my project s13. 12.5 inches in the rear. So I know a little about quality :lalala:

Cuthbert
08-23-2008, 05:35 PM
I think the rims look alright, but rims now a days in general look generic for the most part, and unless you actually told someone that these were custom/etc most wouldn't know. I will have to see them on the car, but I think the stretched tire is horrible, every time I see that it just makes me think that the wrong size tire was used(unintentionally). As far as cost is involved, I think that is irrelevant, cost should never be a representation of quality, and is mostly just for bragging rights/status. Good job on getting what you wanted, and as long as you like it that's all that matters in the end anyways, unless you are really just trying to impress people;)

nebster
08-23-2008, 06:05 PM
i got a good deal on my wheels. so i'm not complaining. i am willing to pay for quality as apposed to getting free crap wheels.

listen they're not the most flashy things in the world and thats fine, i'm not going for a super flashy car this year, i'm building it for me.

the only reason i had a debut is because i've been waiting on these for so long, i've had more pm's about my wheels than one should get.

i agree, price should not justify quality but when you take a look at these wheels in person you'll know exactly why they cost so much. i'll take some close ups tonight

as far as stretching thats fine - i had to stretch to get them to fit and as far as pics on the car i'll work on it. i'm trying to get the brakes on today so we'll see if i can modify the fenders

thanks for the spelling lesson. first this is a forum...so i dont waste my time using proper punctuation. second, you might want to check yourself before you critisize others spelling errors. as i pointed out in the bold above. your posts arent flawless either.

my statement is legit to me, because i respect quality products and the people that are patient enough to wait for them and baller enough to rock them.

Cool, doesn't look too bad from the back with the stretch, waiting to see what it looks like from the side. I love those tires, I have them also, probably my favorite low profiles I have had so far when it comes to a balance of ride/grip.

lol I feel ya, and I said I wasn't hating on you! I know you have a lot more to do (fiveaxis lip kit and grill I believe are on the list?). I know when your car is completed it will put mine to shame and will put a lot of peeps cars "applying" for your award to shame as well. But you have to deal with the input, that is what a forum is all about. Get that car together and quickly so we can see everything!

I see... well I am sure you still will get pm's about the wheels, not about how they look but...

size
offset
manufacturer

lol........ back on topic, again very nice wheels.... for those haters that don't like them, neb can just say... "More than you can afford pal.... custom!" :rofl:

I like them but they don't POP really good like your last ones. They are more layed back with an aggressive touch. I have to admit I was expecting like $15,000 custom design one off baller wheels, but am not dissapointed. Better than my wheels

You must be doing something right, Looks like you've got at least one certain yellow hoodied groupie. lol (i joke)

Props on earning/spending the skrill on what you want reguardless of peoples opinions. Do it how you want it.

I had to check out bens wheels after he told me he posted them. There great looking wheels and great fitment. There are a lot of people saying there not that great and blah blah blah well there not my style either but there still awesome wheels. For all of you talking about the nebster awards haha if you havent figured it out yet its one of sl's biggest jokes but keep those submissions coming :) and for all you people flaming and hating get off the computer and go work on your cars. True car builders dont have time be on forums. Looks good ben cant wait to see it in person.

AcidDrop

it's basically the same for the front but for the rear it's a good tuck with stockies, adding 19"s to it is sick with the right offset.

08-26-2008, 10:50 PM
yea, i didnt take into account the 19's, lol

Is it not possible to fit 18x9 for the front?

depending on the offset but i wouldn't recommend it

but let me know the offsets

InfiniteVisi0n
08-27-2008, 01:01 AM
haha no idea..i am pretty much clueless on to what sizes go for what rim and stuff. I just know I want 18's with the biggest width as possible along with a nice lip.

InfiniteVisi0n
08-27-2008, 01:07 AM
how do you go custom if you dont mind me askin? Custom as in ordering the rims a certain way? Or custom as in fabrication of the fenders and spacers.

nebster
08-27-2008, 01:09 AM
custom as in ordering the wheels from the manufacturer directly (no discounts unless you get sponsored) AND modifying the fenders a ton. i spent probably 6-8 hours modifying my fenders to get my new wheels to not rub all the time.

its a lot of work

InfiniteVisi0n
08-27-2008, 01:14 AM
modifying the fenders from the inside? What exactly does it mean to modify the fenders??

nebster
08-27-2008, 01:16 AM
roll / cut / slightly flare as well as moving around connectors to attach the bumpers.

Oh yeah for sure man. Just in labor would be ~750 plus the cost of rims and tires is quite a lot.

From one Ben to another, that looks real sweet. I come from the VW world so personally I would have gone with some BBS or other 3 piece mesh rims but the works do nicely. I do enjoy your car though, it has the whole OEM+ theme going. Simple and clean yet stylish.
