18" J-Line 20rl2 :) more pics soon
very nice. wht are the specs of the wheel?
18x? offset? weight?
MYLUCKYNAMEISABE 10-22-2005, 04:57 AM 18x8 front 1x9 rear
hayalex6 10-22-2005, 05:49 AM Trying to give it the rear wheel drive look then?
Kenshin 10-22-2005, 05:51 AM if he got bigger wheels in the back i have to yell RICE!
surfcity40 10-22-2005, 05:56 AM if he got bigger wheels in the back i have to yell RICE!
just look at the photos and stop hating.
they look great bro. the offset is perfect. they aren't hidden under the well. i like.
Kenshin likes them as well, he just can't say so.
jk
Kenshin 10-22-2005, 06:21 AM Your right, the rims DO look nice, sort of BMW ish euro look, but the fact that there are bigger tires in the back... kinda gets to me, just my honest opinion.
yea the 18x9 is kinda overkill in the rear. it kills performance because the rear wheels are kinda dead weight.
yescadog 10-22-2005, 06:55 AM is it about looks or performance..?
i like it....looks clean
mikochu 10-22-2005, 07:12 AM Looks great! j-lines in Hialeah, who would've thought? :D
lol, those pics don't look like Hialeah...I'd definitely invest in better lugs/locks, though.
surfcity40 10-22-2005, 07:39 AM i wanna see a close up the vdub ( is that an intercooler or wishful thinking on my part?) vr?
EnderSavesTheDay 10-22-2005, 07:57 AM if he got bigger wheels in the back i have to yell RICE!
Okay, Kenshin... yell rice. We all listen to the person who yells uproarously without giving any thought (sadly it's true quite often).
yescadog said it best... or rather put it best
is it about looks or performance..?
i like it....looks clean
If Abe wants to have an agressive looking stance, cheers to him. If you want to call it the "rwd look" good for you, but to me personally it's nothing about performance, that agressive stance is worth it.
Sorry, kind of off topic... but has anyone downsized their wheels on the tC?
Nick06tC 10-22-2005, 09:47 AM I think it looks kick ___. Not everyone races there cars on the street, so who needs tho 100% performance everyday. If you are going to track the thing I imagine you wouldnt use your 18's anyway, because those tires would get expensive quick.
I have to agree it looks euroish, mainly like the Audis'. Looks nice
schwettynuts 10-22-2005, 12:41 PM same reason why people put different spacers in the back.
DJ_Seksies 10-22-2005, 07:36 PM Nice...
i say it looks alot BMW's rims too
MYLUCKYNAMEISABE 10-23-2005, 01:14 AM well about the whole performace issue i dont race and the wheels in the back still whigh less than the stock wheels they are forged aluminum so its alright and it grips nicely so its coo (wider is better) :come: and bout the vdub its a big turbo 1.8t
rhythmnsmoke 10-23-2005, 04:14 AM So, what Offset are you running? +35 Front and +40 Rear? Experience any rubbing?
heyitznosaj 10-23-2005, 04:50 AM that VW jetta in the backround looks sick.
MYLUCKYNAMEISABE 10-23-2005, 05:14 AM yup for the ofsets
daewonder 10-24-2005, 08:22 AM nice. j-lines are hot. a lower drop would set it off imo.
MYLUCKYNAMEISABE 11-02-2005, 01:05 AM i agree i think ama get some coils soon
retrodrive 11-02-2005, 05:43 PM Looks awesome, I'd lower it a tad bit more. Love the look, forget the haters man
2tone_xB 11-02-2005, 07:55 PM nice work. :clap:
