free wheels! should I???

[dGALANTc]

i was just wondering if i should put them on the G just to hold me over till i get some cash for volks. they are free from a friend of mine that got new wheels, he had them on a 98 eclipse. they are 17" motegi dpk. not sure about the lug pattern or the offset. so idk if they will even fit. just wondering your opinions! thanks

oh here they arehttp://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab236/dgcimme/wheel2.jpg

If they were on a 2G Eclipse they will fit. May need slightly larger tires unless it already has 215/50R17 or 225/45R17 tires on them.

[dGALANTc]

i think he said they had a 205/ 45/17 on them believe it or not... i will get new tires as he told me the tread was not plentiful.. but do you think they will look good on an 8G?

[RedGalant2k1]

should look just fine.

[dGALANTc]

thanx for quick reply and opinion. I'll go pick them up tomoro!

I think they will look pretty good. Plus, they are free.

In the pic they look really good and for free its even better go get them mount them and post some pics.

[dGALANTc]

free is always good! i will do it all tomoro weather permitting, it rained all day today..... they are used tho so i may want to get them painted or reconditioned somehow... not sure of the condition.. i def wanna lower it asap too i will post pics as soon as i can!! thanks for the input guys...

[djhah]

i would most defenitly do it i would love to find free stuff for my g. you must live close to me because it rained here all day also, do you live in tn.

[pooprajoe]

Depends on what rims you currently have. but these would probably look good....

[dGALANTc]

hahahaha, nice!

[pooprajoe]

I'd rock these in a heart beat over steelies. take'em and take some pictures and post them.

[2002BlackDragon]

Hell, worst case, ill buy them from you and pay the shipping.

[dGALANTc]

well my buddy had a pretty busy day so we couldnt get together to get the wheels but he is sure to get them to me tomoro... i will post pics asap. thanks for the suggestions guys i am really ready to start the modding process... so i will ask a few ?

i saw that tjones156 is running sprint performance springs and i would like to do the same until i save for the coilovers. do those springs just fit right in place of the stock or do you need new struts... and i also read that springs that drop your car will eventually ruin you dampers. what exactly are the dampers and why do they ruin them? thanks guys i appreciate any help!

[OMEGA PHX]

Yes any lowering springs designed for 99-03 galants and 00-05 eclipses will fit in OEM struts, It is recommended to get new shocks/struts but not a most when you buy lowering springs. Lowering springs will ruin your dampers (aka shocks/strut) are the same, because OEM shocks neither KYB Gr2's nor AGX's are designed for drops bigger than 1.5" and they will eventually fail.

those would look sick 8g were meant 4 a 5 star type rim

[blue8g]

u goin to meet tmrw?

[dGALANTc]

thanks omega that helps! hopefully ill have the coilovers before my stock stuff goes bad... and they looked great on his eclipse so if it looks good one one mitsu, it looks good on all right...lol. yes i get the wheels from him tomorrow and i will post pics when they are on

these were taken with my phone so sorry for quality, wash and wax coming soon just been busy...... WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!! AND THEY WERE FREE!!!!!

[dGALANTc]

excuse all the family members cars they mess up the pix and worse, they clutter my at home shop space...lol

[OMEGA PHX]

Nice, free is nearly always good, Wash N Wax and then a nice drop. Start reading info on the different lowering springs, search for key words as suspension,lowering springs, Megan springs, Progress Springs, Tein Springs, and for shocks search for KYB GR2, or KYB AGX (for AGX look for the eclipse 00-05 application).

[es_fact]

[dGALANTc]

[ricky_db]
