hey fellas,
Wanted to share pics of my new wheel package. its the R1 racing drift in hyperblack. I got the 18x8 with the rear mass lips wrapped around in 225/40/18 sonar tires. I am dropped on s-teins. I really like the lip size in these.























now the lip size, figure I would take a measurement.

 

That's a *nice* NB. Great lookin' wheels, too. What was the $$$ and do they have 17"s?

 

thanks. I got the rims at wheelsnext.

I dont think they come in 17s. probably contact them

 

glad to see another clean lookin' NBM

 

looks nice.

 

nice rims. i was considering buying some rims from Wheelsnext, but i heard they only give out generic brand tires. what brand of tires did you get with your set?

 

I got a set of sonar tires from them. I was going to get the toyo proxes from them but they convinced me that the sonar tires kept up pretty well. The sales rep said he even hard them on his G35. but with wheelsnext, you can get any brand tires you want, provided they got it of course, for an additional price.

if you saw some rims, talk to the sales rep about tire combination. am sure they can help you out.

 

lol i read the title and assumed it was a new exhaust. nice wheels though.

 

Do you have any issues with rubbing? Also do you know the offset of the wheels? Thanks for the help

 

I havent had any issues with rubbing yet. I havent driven with a car full of people yet so am not sure if i'll ever have rubbing issues. As far as offsets are concern I really dont know. I know that the rear mass lips has a different offset that the front rims. Give wheelsnext a call, they are really helpful when it comes to those things

 

wow thats a nice set of wheels . Nice styling . I love to see people with nice choices of rims for their cars . I hate to see tCs with Spinners ..

 

i like R1 racing wheels, im getting one too.
it looks good man, good job!@

 

thanks men. i love the look. i find myself looking backwards all the time when walking just to get a gimplse of the rims.

what color are you going to get

 

i'm gonna get 18" TYPE6R in black! it was really hard to decide, i went with this one instead, i can't wait till it gets here,

 

those look really nice!
im lookin to get R1 rims too, how do you guys think the hype would look on FM?

I like this one.

 

I am going to be getting the Hypes for my own SSP as well... gotta wait until fall though

 

do you know what the offset is? i'm runnin the same springs and am considering 18x8's but i'm not sure about the offset. I'm thinking +35 so if you knew what yours was it would help me out a lot

 

I dont know what my offset is. i know its different between the front and rear. I just went with the fact that others have similar rims on their tc

 

got the same rims on my superwhite, offset is 40..nice rims btw...lol great choice..
