Okay, recently I got the 05-06 rsx base wheels on my xB2. The wheels specs were identical to the stock steelies, except for the offset ( 5 mm difference). I finally got around to painting them today, and after everything was back on the car I drove around, everything seemed normal. Until I stopped and turned the steering wheel all the way to the left. I hear loud squeaks coming from the tires. same thing when I turn it all the way to the right. Now I am almost certain that this is due to improper tightening of the lug nuts. I tried to torque them equally, but I guess I failed. So my question is, is there a way to fix this issue without having to take off the wheels again? I jacked up the driver side front wheel all the way up so it can rotate freely, and put it back down. I dont think it made a difference in the squeaks...

btw the painted wheels look 100x better...pics will come soon. flat black!

holy long paragraph.

oh and also, I noticed when the steering wheel is all the way to one side, I go out to look at the tires and on the very bottom there is a very unusual bulge, didnt seem right.

and also when I put all the wheels back on, I start the engine and let go of the ebrake, and the passenger back side dropped.

What's Domo doing under your car man?

 

lol somebody caught it!

I put it there just for fun

 

haha, got it.

I'm thinking at the moment that red (or orange) calipers might look cool on your car.

 

Did you paint them yourself? looks nice. How did you prep for paint?

 

clean, sand, clean, dry, primer, paint

no clear

 

I am going to be changing the color during the summer. Should I go with white, bronze, or a crazy color? I dont think DF's are low enough to pull off crazy colors...

 

did you take the tires off to paint them?
