KillaSpiceTSW 08-23-2008, 01:08 AM Sorry if im a noob at this, but why are people using the term stretch and what is it exactly. Also what purpose does it serve. It looks nice im just confused.

lil_will 08-23-2008, 01:48 AM Nice. I wanna see them on the car! :clap: :clap:
Nick06tC 08-23-2008, 01:54 AM 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?)
Scott8 08-23-2008, 01:55 AM Want to see it in person!!!
When you putting them on?
nebster 08-23-2008, 01:56 AM i have to work at 6am tomorrow morning. SOOOOOOO hopefully tomorrow night but we'll see i have to pick up all my stuff at white eagle
Scott8 08-23-2008, 01:58 AM going to burn the midnight oil tomorrow night?
I get off work at 6pm.
Flecs 08-23-2008, 01:58 AM cant wait to see pics
nebster 08-23-2008, 01:59 AM 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 08-23-2008, 02:05 AM 1150 for everything, not sure what the lip kit itself was but everything (sub box and amp rack and lip kit was 1150)
BlizZard 08-23-2008, 02:31 AM looks dope as fcuk ben!
Congrats man :D

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.
hawgs74 08-23-2008, 03:31 PM So its a gold spoke rim with a lip? i was expecting something original with all the hype :eyebrow:
nebster 08-23-2008, 04:23 PM 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.
but the difference is, almost nobody else will...and neb did.

huggers or not, you didn't rebuke the premise and you understood the point, and "that has made all the difference."
hawgs74 08-23-2008, 05:23 PM 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;)

Hooray! I actually agree with something in this thread! Yaaaay!
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
yellowxhoodie 08-23-2008, 06:14 PM so no Elmhurst tomm for you?

I don't care if a year's wait time went into them. That won't me make them like them any more than I do now. I would prefer the look of Chris' wheels over these. That's what I stated. It's my opinion, and you may have yours. Just because it's Nebster 's doesn't mean I have to like it.
Looks like YOU'RE (with an apostrophe "re"] the ignorant one for saying that. How legitimate is YOUR statement?

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.
tCtCtC 08-23-2008, 08:24 PM usually i would jump in on the bandwagon and start fighting, but why dont we resolve this.
everyone just shut up and we're all good!
yellowxhoodie 08-23-2008, 08:31 PM i dont really care. i shrugged it off as soon as it started.
but first off, i hate when ppl get picky about grammar and punctuation on a damn forum
and its even worse if your going to correct someone but have errors in your own post.
so with that being said, im done.
neb, the rims are lookin good. cant wait to see them in person soon.
nebster 08-23-2008, 09:21 PM no elmhurst, i have to be in at work tomorrow and wont be able to get the car finished. if you want to come see them thats cool but i'm not bringing my car up there this weekend

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.
tcridinclean 08-23-2008, 09:57 PM looks amazing dude

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!
nebster 08-24-2008, 05:14 AM pssh.... i shouldn't have to prove anything mostly to anyone that knows me.
i don't have to deal with any input because the cars not done, i'm not looking for input i'm posting it so i stop getting pm's lol

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:
man I am tired and saying stupid ish :doh:
Carlanga 08-24-2008, 05:25 AM ^hahahahaha :rofl:
RCZDesigns 08-24-2008, 09:06 AM 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.

fujita_TC 08-24-2008, 09:55 AM yea i dunno wheels look good, "works" yea great quality, waited 4 months, payed a trillion, but i dont know.....was expecting like a "BAM" effect from "the nebster".....
thats just my opinion.
CDogbert 08-24-2008, 12:15 PM But you have to deal with the input, that is what a forum is all about.
I don't think I've ever agreed with so many things in one thread. SL, you make me so proud sometimes. :cry:

dredge38 08-24-2008, 07:26 PM 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.
CDogbert 08-24-2008, 07:59 PM True car builders dont have time be on forums.
That's why you're here, amirite? :love:
dredge38 08-24-2008, 08:47 PM I had to check out bens wheels after he told me he posted them.

SighOnTeeSee 08-25-2008, 03:03 AM Top and bottom pics are ftw. I think they look a lot better on your car than I thought they'd look from the first pics.

AcidDrop 08-25-2008, 10:53 PM what's the width on the rims?
nebster 08-25-2008, 11:21 PM 18x8.5 and 18x9.5
225's all around
InfiniteVisi0n 08-26-2008, 12:10 AM the rims look too good on your car..hey how were you able to fit 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?? Spacers?
nebster 08-26-2008, 12:34 AM the rims look too good on your car..hey how were you able to fit 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?? Spacers?
MAAAAGGGICCCCC
no i ordered them to fit
weeloTC 08-26-2008, 01:12 AM not bad, but not a fan of the exhaust, what are you replacing it with? should have kept the AP on it (i think thats what you had)
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:14 AM replacing it with the greddy ti-c
weeloTC 08-26-2008, 01:16 AM sweet, did you get around to getting anything else on this weekend?
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:20 AM no, i'm going to go pick the stuff up hopefully tomorrow.
i spent 4 hours grinding down the fenders to get them to fit. here is the new stance

Scott8 08-26-2008, 01:25 AM it was nasty last time I saw it....
ScionizedRide 08-26-2008, 01:30 AM replacing it with the greddy ti-c
niice! you wont regret switching
i used to have HKS, but greddy sounds and looks much nicer imo
congrats on the wheels! glad you finally posted the pix up
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:34 AM maria when you coming over!
karatekidd 08-26-2008, 01:47 AM Nice...worth the wait for real!!!
ScionizedRide 08-26-2008, 01:48 AM Ben wtf you were at elmhurst dont say hi no more?? hater!
Need4Bass05 08-26-2008, 01:48 AM Thats the amazing rims you had to make different threads about? Eh. Nice but far from amazing.
InfiniteVisi0n 08-26-2008, 01:50 AM yea i have the greddy ti :D its awesome
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:51 AM Ben wtf you were at elmhurst dont say hi no more?? hater!
i didn't even see you!!!!!
where the ____ were you and why didn't you say hi?????
ScionizedRide 08-26-2008, 01:53 AM i didnt bring the car over but i was there. didnt get to see you cuz your as$ rolled in late!
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:54 AM lol my car wasn't there eiether, i showed up with bill from iowa and then hung out with yellow all day.
yellowxhoodie 08-26-2008, 01:55 AM stop blaming each other.
you were both there at the same time.
i was walking with neb and i saw you maria.
way to go guys. lol
nebster 08-26-2008, 01:57 AM lol

AcidDrop 08-26-2008, 07:51 PM the rims look too good on your car..hey how were you able to fit 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?? Spacers?
2_much_tc had 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 on his ride... sat almost as flush too.. no spacers.
AcidDrop 08-26-2008, 09:58 PM the rims look too good on your car..hey how were you able to fit 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?? Spacers?
2_much_tc had 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 on his ride... sat almost as flush too.. no spacers.i also forgot, a friend is lowered on sprint springs 2.5" all the way around with the same wheels and width/tires and he has no rubbing issues.
yellowxhoodie 08-26-2008, 10:05 PM well 2.5" drop is weak, thats why. lol
AcidDrop 08-26-2008, 10:37 PM well 2.5" drop is weak, thats why. lol :eyebrow:
yellowxhoodie 08-26-2008, 10:39 PM 2.5 is like s-techs. i know its alot for some ppl (depends on where you live and whatnot) but for me personally...thats weak, lol.
give me a week or two, im waiting on some parts, then ill post some teasers. :P
AcidDrop 08-26-2008, 10:41 PM 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.
yellowxhoodie 08-26-2008, 10:50 PM yea, i didnt take into account the 19's, lol
InfiniteVisi0n 08-27-2008, 12:37 AM Is it not possible to fit 18x9 for the front?
nebster 08-27-2008, 12:45 AM 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.
nebster 08-27-2008, 01:02 AM you'll have to go custom. they're not gonna be cheap but if you n eed help let me konw man
InfiniteVisi0n 08-27-2008, 01:03 AM are you in chicago or illinois?
nebster 08-27-2008, 01:05 AM i'm in the plainfield area.
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.
InfiniteVisi0n 08-27-2008, 01:18 AM damn..seems like it would cost a whole lot to get it done by a body shop
nebster 08-27-2008, 01:37 AM Oh yeah for sure man. Just in labor would be ~750 plus the cost of rims and tires is quite a lot.
nebster 08-29-2008, 01:05 AM i had a lot of people ask me what i did to the fenders and i'll sum it up in this picture
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e350/nebster530/july08/001-4.jpg
here are just some more pics i took today after the clean and dressing of the tires

Scott8 08-29-2008, 01:08 AM I can see my favorite jack in the reflection!

nebster 08-29-2008, 01:48 AM its some black magic stuff, i've had about 5 people ask me since i posted the pictures lol

captainlaziness 08-29-2008, 04:54 AM I'm a beer snob, I won't drink Budweiser to fill my bladder to pee on a case of Budweiser that's on fire.
That makes sense, right?
tCtCtC 08-29-2008, 04:56 AM kinda?

BZinn1 08-29-2008, 05:50 AM Ben the wheels and tires look good.......I almost bought a set of BBS rims that fit like that.....but were not drivable due to fender restrictions.....I hate rolling fenders......always chip the paint....got bad luck......nice job......clean and simple look... :clap:
nebster 08-29-2008, 02:50 PM yeah they shouldn't be driveable but i made them driveable lol
thanks though.
as far as everything else goes i'm finally happy witht he way they sit. they look good to me which is what i want. i need to do a real photoshoot so you guys can see the whole package
Scott8 08-29-2008, 03:00 PM you need to get the lip kit on... then take pics
CarbonXe 08-29-2008, 03:08 PM I can honestly say that I'm disappointed. The back just does not look right.
nebster 08-29-2008, 03:17 PM sure thing man, let me just say that the wide angle isn't helping at all. when i get some good lighting and the lip kit on i'll be taking more pictures
oo0oolala 09-01-2008, 08:17 PM nice wheels man.
what suspension are you on? if any?
nebster 09-07-2008, 02:46 AM WHY I DIDN'T LOWER THE REAR MORE

Paulz0r 09-07-2008, 07:37 AM lookin good neb! i wanna see them in person!
bennyboopy 09-13-2008, 01:29 AM 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.
PS, I saw your car on ED's weekly email for your sub buildup. Aren't fiberglass boxes a S.O.B. to build
velo_rider 09-13-2008, 07:48 PM Super sexyyyyy.
