[6strngs]

i'm only giving a sneak peak though. I've gotta wash the car and then I can take some real pics.



Specs:
17x8 ET35, Drag DR-31's
225/45/17 Dunlop direzza DZ101 tires
Muteki lightweight anodized blue lug nuts
Genuine Rays blue anodized valve stems

Don't ask about the hood. I'm not ready to disclose that info. lol

Looking good . Edit: Wrong question, I meant to ask how close they sit to the fender? 8" wheels sound nice .

I'll take some more pictures later today after work. but they are really flush in the front and just barely sucked in in the back. I'm hearing some rubbing from the front left tire over bumps and in turns, but I think it's just on the wheel well plastic and I think that one is just not secured all the way which is why it doesn't do it on the front right tire, only the left.

nice~

[goferris]

it's about time your car got some rims LOL
they are some pretty sweet rims you have there. how much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking?
no you just need to get those fenders and hood painted and your car will be good to go for the most part.

[peterkos]

Oh, that look quite nice. Can you get some shots that follows the side of the car, so I can see how much the fill out?

they are 17x8 with a 35 offset. they are extremely flush in the front, and pretty darn close in the back. I only got good pics because I had borrowed a camera that day. I can get some crappy cell phone pics, but you should still be able to see how flush they are with them.

Where did you buy them? Looks nice, I'll probably get these instead haha.

the sleeper is finally waking up

I bought them through my work, America's tire/discount tire. For the record, they are knock-offs of the work emotion kai's. I was going to get some Rota torques, which are also a knock-off of the same wheel, but I ordered them, they said it'd be 6-8 weeks, and after 9 weeks of waiting, I called and they said they had no record of the order! then they said they'd be shipped the next day, then a few days later I called to find out the status and they told me to call back in like half an hour... so I said screw them. the people over at rota are really dumb. They would've been a little bit nicer wheels, probably a little lighter and more durable, but they cost almost double what I paid for these. Anyway, these only seem to weigh maybe 2-3 lbs more than the OEM 15" wheels, which is saying alot since they're 2 inches bigger and an inch wider!

here's a picture of the back wheel. pay no attention to my dent lol
