Best Wheel For 8g

[Blue8g]

My goal with this thread is to give new members an idea of what looks good on the 8g to give them a general picture to work off of.

*This is not a post of pic of your own wheels thread, just post what you think looks great, although if that includes your own wheels....I can't be mad at that lol*

Please post what kind of wheel and sizing as well (any drop information if you have)

[wetamup2k3g]

Question! Do the 9G Ralliart/4G Eclipse wheels allow for Brembo's? Love the look, but want to upgrade them brakes.

[Blue8g]

No they don't, you could probably use spacers to gain the clearance, I don't know what size you'd need offhand. My guess it around 15mm

[DTP]

Go with Evo wheels... They oh so sexy. Lol

[wetamup2k3g]

Thanks for the info, dude!


Go with Evo wheels... They oh so sexy. Lol

I wish, having trouble finding them near me. Found some 9G Ralliarts for cheap, but still considering. I lost out on the Infiniti G35 seven spokes a guy was selling, I know the Brembo's fit them.

[Blue8g]

Get the Ralliarts, you don't need the Evo brembos unless you're doing some SERIOUS tracking. AutoX your stock brakes (with new fluid/pads/rotors) will be fine, or you can go two piston from 99-01 (?) V6 Galant (with the same additions).

Just remember this:

your car will only stop as quickly as your tyres allow you.

Tyres are the key to breaking, so if you're upgrading the brakes, upgrade the tyres too

[M-Rod]

No picture for the Evo 8 Enkeis? You can pull one from my garage if you want. ;)

[Blue8g]

lol the evo 8 enkei are in my op

I used a pic of njjfudge's car

[M-Rod]

ahh now I see it. The pic didn't show up when I first brought up the thread.

the gsx lookalikes make a good wheel from a 3g. Actually the only good 3g wheels. Otherwise the actual 2g gsx wheels are worth getting as well.

huh? it's one of the the most popular stock wheel upgrades in our community, especially if the swap to EVO brakes is planned.

[IVORY_G]

Good condition one's are not that easy to come by these days. Especially with alot of 1G-3G Eclipse's using them as an upgrade for wheels too. But there are still a decent number of members here with them...

[Reelax]

Sorry I meant to write that the evo 7 wheels look great not all evo wheels

the EVO 7 was not sold in the US so those particular wheels are not so readily available compared to the EVO 8, 9, and 10 (which were sold in the US).

Dose anyone have a pics with the 18s off the 350z?

I was gonna say you had asked about 18"s not 17"s. Those are one of my favorite Nissan wheels as well. I would love to have these on my G.

[RedGalant2k1]

Haha, ic now. Silly me.

[dronesurfboards]

I think redrilled M3 CSL wheels would look good on the G. I was thinking my stocks on the F wouldnt look bad either.

who said they were hard to find? finding the wheels is not the problem; it's getting them here that becomes more difficult. did u notice where that set physically was? the shipping itself would be as big of a problem as how much they were charging for the actual wheels. you commented you were surprised that more members here haven't gone that route and then by posting that link you answered yourself.

[zobgel]

More info about my Wedsport SA70:
Suspension is Meganracing Coilovers.
Drop "front" 1 finger between the fender and wheels; "rear" 2 fingers between the fender and wheels.
My fender are not rolled.
Wedsport SA70 18x8.5 +40 but can still clears my brembo calipers with no problem "I think its because the spokes design"
Tires are 235/40/18.

Actually you said they were first off


the EVO 7 was not sold in the US so those particular wheels are not so readily available compared to the EVO 8, 9, and 10 (which were sold in the US).

And second they are being sold out of australia with a shipping quote to Boston, MA being $120 which is obviously according to you was a big problem. maybe next time you should look at what i posted and not jump to conclusions about why i posted it in the first place.

And yes i was suprised that more people dont have them because i thought they looked great on the 8g platform. ( which is what i thought this thread was all about, commenting on which wheels we thought looked good) so how is posting a link to the wheels themselves answering myself??

[Reelax]

Actually you said they were first off

go review the thread... i never said they were hard to find... i said they were not as "readily available" since the EVO7 was never sold in the US so therefore there are not a bunch of spare EVO7 wheels here as compared to EVO8, EVO9, EVO10 etc.

the shipping quote is from that seller? that's not bad at all. in my actual experience in getting parts from that hemisphere, it costs much more, not to mention customs... so now i'm curious where you got that quote from and if it is reliable. and since the link you posted shows the wheels for more than $2000 for stock wheels: that should answer you as to why more people haven't done it since EVO8+ wheels can be sourced here for much less. if you were going to prove a point, couldn't you at least find a better link (cheaper and local). if someone is going to spend $2000 on wheels alone, most likely they are already looking past stock EVO wheels.

seriously are you really surprised that more 8G's are not on EVO7 wheels given that there are not more than a handful of EVO7's in the US (as they were never sold here) so as a result the supply of EVO7 wheels here is negligible? that rarity doesn't seem to you like an obstacle that would stop them from being a popular option? of course you can order them from other countries. you can order anything from other countries that had that car in their market, but is that as easy as picking up parts in the US from cars that were sold here?

[galant2k0]

Honestly i wasn't trying to prove a point about the rims just showing a link that had them. I totally agree that $2,200 for those wheels is crazy especially when evo 8 and 9 wheels are selling locally for $400-$600. but since they are rare here in the US and not too many people have them or have even seen them,i wouldn't put it past anyone buying them. Especially when people are paying that for some aftermarket rims. I actually did get the quote by email through the seller just for laughs and was surprised at how cheap.

The only reason why i was surprised that more people didn't have them is because of the way that most members will source in bumpers, headlights, tailights...etc. from overseas, but not those rims thats all. Wasn't looking to cause an uproar just thought they looked hot.

[Blue8g]

That's because those wheels:
Aren't that great looking
Aren't that lightweight
Are more expensive than better aftermarket wheels

XXR's are trash. They don't belong in a 'best wheel' thread. EVER.

Really? And why is that? I have a set of them, since last dicember, best set of wheels I had so far; and I had my share of wheels, from MAK, Falken, Antera, Enkei, etc. So far, I think XXR are a good product.

[Blue8g]

XXR haven't done any testing through:
JWA or TUV

I will never buy a wheel that isn't certified by one or both of those.

Also that's a replica. That wheel was not designed by XXR

I understand you, but, here is the info in the website:

http://www.xxrwheels.com/about_us.shtml : Our State of the Art Factory
"Since 1976, our factory facilities have specialized in the design and manufacture or aluminum alloy wheels for original equipment and after-market automotive applications. Currently we have two factory faculties that produce in excess of 2.4 million wheels each year. Approximately 60 percent of the wheels products are shipped to Japan, 20 percent to the United States, and the remaining 20 percent are distributed throughout the world.

In our production, quality is the main objective. For quality assurance, all our wheels are certified by the international standard on accreditation of ISO 9002 and QS 9000. The factory also obtained the qualification of Japanese VIA Standard on quality testing which guarantees that every wheel meets their vigorous testing standards. When you purchase our wheels, rest assured that you will be getting one of the best on the market."

Anyway, Im not saying they are the best, that title may go for wheels like Rays, but as for now, they had being a decent set of wheels, the last set I had, an Hanabi, 18" by Falken, with all the tests, were a piece of s_it, so, I guess the real test is in the road. Knock off or not, I love the design, and the finish of the product.

[oakrdrs187]

^^^ Uh-oh...

[Blue8g]

I'd love to see how they would fare in Ray's JWA+ which is JWA testing, but the standards are twice as high. (Enkei also uses this)

I will bet every set of awesome wheels I've ever owned, and the set of awesome wheels I'm picking up next Friday; that they'd go an hero.

Hahaha...that is a funny joke that guy has...lol

I believe it.

When a company copy/pastes their website from another company how can you expect them to make a decent product?

And from what I've read Varrstoen has only passed DOT standards. And I could make a wheel from cardboard and pass DOT standards

[Reelax]

EVERY wheel is easily copied. They're not going to copy a wheel if there's no market though.

not every wheel is easily copied. some are harder than others to the point that some just don't get copied. one piece wheels are easier to fake than multi piece and some multi-piece are too hard to pull off and not look totally fake.

the exposed polished flange between the barrel and face on my wheels is not easily copied especially if the face is not chrome (because the face would b a different color than the flange); it is even more obvious on the gold version. this was one of the reasons i got these particular wheels and in special order gunmetal. the only way to convincingly copy this look is to make the wheels multi-piece (or possibly riveting a polished flange behind the spokes of a 1 piece wheel)... making them multi-piece would make them cost prohibitive and simply casting them in one piece and polishing the flange sections while painting the face parts would not be easily made to look convincing.

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/wheel1.jpg

since the flange is polished it shines as much as the lips and is actually very noticable even from a distance:

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/IMG1454.jpg

additionally, the way the face disc exposes the barrel flange from the front by the thin spokes of the wheel, you can see the pierce bolts go all the way through w/ fasteners on the rear of the flange... nobody that knocks off wheels bothers to fake the rear fasteners because most wheels designs don't easily show those when the wheels are mounted:

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/canons110007.jpg

lastly that all metal valve stem visibly goes through the flange and face and "floats" in a hole not touching the face or flange then bends 90 degrees to go into the barrel at a point behind the flange... another detail not worth knocking off as it is also cost prohibitive:

additionally, the way the face disc exposes the barrel flange from the front by the thin spokes of the wheel, you can see the pierce bolts go all the way through w/ fasteners on the rear of the flange... nobody that knocks off wheels bothers to fake the rear fasteners because most wheels designs don't easily show those when the wheels are mounted:

http://i242.photobucet.com/albums/ff8/ooreelaxoo/canons110007.jpg

lastly that all metal valve stem visibly goes through the flange and face and "floats" in a hole not touching the face or flange then bends 90 degrees to go into the barrel at a point behind the flange... another detail not worth knocking off as it is also cost prohibitive:

1. People who buy replica wheels don't care that much.
2. Not enough people would buy those reps to even make it worth it.

[PR8GG]

I have to say , you guys had made a point about the replica wheels, but, not everybody have the money to buy Volks, Rays or BBS; and its clear the quality of the wheels its very important, but even a quality brand can get broken in a given moment. I'm not saying it something of less importance, just, that we can discuss fo a year how good a high quality, expensive brand is; and is like discuss how wet is the water. I wolud love to have a set of Volk TE37, but I dont have the money, so, a good afordable set have to do for the time being.

personally I feel if you can afford to rock nice wheels then do so. if you can't, then save and wait for a bargain. I see people rush to get wheels because they can't wait to save. in California, if you rock replicas. you get laughed at no matter what. yeah cali people are brand whores lol. me personally have not spent anything more than 1000 bucks on my wheels with the exception of the volks when I had my g35 and I have works, ssr, 5zigen and bbs in my garage. I've seen 18 inch te37's. go as low as 1500
with tires and that's a real bargain. you just gotta be patient. screw all the lil gadgets people put into their cars. think of the money you would have saved if u didn't buy that crap and saved for strictly wheels. wheels make the car. everything else is an accessory.

I think a new wheel whore has been spawned!!

1. they wouldn't know the difference but alot of us would spot it immediately.
2. you're kidding right? if there was a cheap version of the VOLK SF-WINNING it would be a very popular knockoff, but since it is not that easy to copy, the knockoff doesn't exist. not every wheel is easy to copy.

[Reelax]

I think a new wheel whore has been spawned!!

DRONES has been a wheel collector for years. he has multiple sets of premium wheels in his collection. he also had the exact wheels i have on his g35 (in gold).

Just because you own a wheel you think everyone wants it? Sorry but no. And a lot of people would notice? Sorry but no the SF line of wheels isn't exactly a te37, ce28, etc. That everyone has heard of

And if toucan afford reps you can afford used real stuff

[dronesurfboards]

as a wheel collector, comparing te, ce, se. with the sf line is completely off. you're comparing a track wheel to a show wheel. in no way sf winnings a track wheel. btw sf winning are classy. when I had mine, people would always offer trades or make cash offers. I've been in the wheel game since 93, and trust me I've seen trends come and go. sf winnings may not be the most sought out wheel at the moment but give it a couple years and they will be sought after again when people don't see it around as much. look at vs-xx, those are getting played out like gold wheel color. even 3 piece rs-betas were hot then got played out and now they're hot again. reelax has been in the game probably longer than me and he got a wheel that made his car classy. it'll still be classy after all these trends pass.

[Blue8g]

Being classy and sought after doesn't mean everybody needs to like them or want them. And i understand they're different types of wheel, I'm correct in saying they aren't as well known though

[dronesurfboards]

if you were in the game 4-5 years ago, that rim was a very sought after wheel. probably top 3 wheels to get back then. I'm sorry but there's people who know wheels and then there's people who actually have rocked them and traded wheels like baseball cards. this is the one pet peeve I have with people who claim they are wheel buffs. unless you've owned these wheels or rocked a multitude of wheels over seeing them in magazines and cutting them out unto your own car, or seeing it in blogs that make them popular,then you are not a true wheel guy.

[RedGalant2k1]

TSW has several wheels that copy the Volk SF Winnings. They certainly have had copies made over the years. Mesh wheels are incredibly popular, and likely always will be as such they will all have copies. So, really you all three of you are right. There are a LOT of knock off wheels that copied Auto Couture, but I'd guess most have never heard of them. I've been selling wheels for about 10 years now, and I can support that high end wheels can't get copied 100% by cheap companies just by the engineering stand point. But I think that Blue8g means that the style is copied, not necessarily the entire wheel. It might be a 90% copy of the SF Winnings (TSW Donnington).

You said there are a lot of people who'd notice the differences between the SF-Winning and I simply stated that not nearly as many people would notice the difference between SF-Winning and a rep versus say a TE37 and a rep.

@Drones: So if I haven't had a bunch of sets of wheels I don't know wheels? Well I guess its a good thing in the last two years I've owned:
-G-Games Sidewinders by Ray's
-BBS RG-R
-Enkei RCT1
-Volk TE37
-Ray's Garcia Tune Cal Choppy's
-SSR Competition

there is no convincing SF-Winning rep... so much for your comparison. and the original point you made you are now avoiding... you said "EVERY wheel is easily copied" but offered no proof. everything you state is according to your opinion because you "know" what you are talking about; too bad your opinion doesn't hold much weight because your experience is still very limited.

and which of those wheels you've had are muti-piece show wheels?

None of them, however the Cal Choppy's are world's rarer than the SF-Winning and are a multi-piece show wheel in a sense.

Convincing to you: There aren't any.
Just like there are no convincing reps of the TE37, to me.

If you love a wheel and have owned it, a rep won't fool you.

But would 99.9% of car enthusiasts be fooled by a decent rep of the SF-Winning, sans the little polished bit? YES.

[Reelax]

None of them, however the Cal Choppy's are world's rarer than the SF-Winning and are a multi-piece show wheel in a sense.

really? even more credibility loss for that. GT Cal Choppy's are little wheels that are not in the same realm... those are for tiny cars. multi-piece? a moon cover or trim ring counts as multi-piece to you? you are really reaching.

again, nothing backed up. all your opinion, which means very little. less than 2 years ago you were still asking us basic remedial questions about wheels, fitment and suspension, and now you've supposedly become a seasoned wheel collector w/ impeccable taste and the knowledge to state what 99.9% of enthusiasts see? come on. even this thread title is an attempt to try to convince everyone that you are more knowledgeable and experienced than you are... "Best Wheel For 8G"? who are you to tell anyone what the best is? i understand if you named it "great wheels for 8G" but you chose to use the word BEST as if you were the authority. a little presumptuous don't you think?

16's are for tiny cars? Damn. They must make Donk Kei cars in Japan. I got rid of them for the same reason I sold my TE37's, 16's were too big for my Civic and that's not a Kei car.

I know they're not a true multi-piece wheel, that comment was an attempt to lighten the tension of the last few posts.

However, if you think that Choppy's are even remotely a 'track wheel' you should stop posting about wheels. For ever.

They were cast, they were heavy, the caps were even heavy. As a show wheel on the other hand:
-Rare, From my research there are only a couple sets of them in the US
-Eye catching

Aren't those the biggest keys to a show wheel? And the Choppy's had those by the truckload.

And please show me the huge numbers of people that have Cal Choppys. I'd LOVE to see them. And if you come across pictures of them on a green 4 door Integra...that's my set.

And if you're going to say the SF-Winnings are rare...well let's see a wheel that hasn't been available for 10+ years vs a wheel that was available up until well into last year.

Yeah SF-Winnings are HELLARARE BRAH

And the thread is for EVERYONE's opinion on the best wheel for the 8g. Not mine specifically, not yours, anyone who wanted to post could.

Also, if you're such a wheel god, why are you the one who has owned Konigs? I fail to find any shitty wheels in my history, I seem to find 1 part shit and 1 part nice in your history. Just like I see shitty suspension in your past, and of the stuff I've bought, none of that.

Yeah, I did ask questions, a lot of them. But guess what, I remembered the answers to those questions; when I see pictures of other member's cars and see the specs I remember those and can extrapolate how similar fitments will fit.

Am I a 'wheel god'? No, not by any means. But do I know more than most? Probably. Do I know more than is necessary or even desirable? Probably.

As to my credibility in your eyes:

Sorry but that really doesn't mean much to me.

go back and read. where did i say that Cal Choppy's are not rare, and that SF-WINNING's were? you r confusing yourself because that';s not even the point of what we were talking about. the whole point we were arguing is that according to you EVERY wheel is easily copied. you keep running away from that now. so you resort to throwing KONIGs my way... you would have bought TENZO's if we hadn't let you know, plus those KONIGs were off my car before you even had a license; i now use those wheels as an example of why not to get knockoffs. shitty suspension? i had the first set of lowering springs on this platform as they were the prototypes for H&R, have you ever had to prototype for a new platform when there is next to nothing available? my car was dropped before the 3G eclipse was released... even before their was a galant board on the internet (pre-TGC). this car has 10+ years of history and this is not my first car... you have 2 years in the game and if you haven't made mistakes it's because of others telling you what a mistake you were about to make; i didn't have that luxury.

Awesome ad pic!

I wonder what color this VR4 is? looks like silver but it could be a darker silver...but it's maybe the lighting

So these RIMS were made by Mitsubishi? or are they some special Racing wheels.

Anyway, I've read somewhere that when the VR4 was released, you can get these stadard rims or the optional 3 spoke rims.

The one that I got had 3 spoked Rims...I wonder if these are the said Optional 3 spoked RIMS or the former owner just tried to copy the look of the special optional 3 spoked RIMS.

[gian7675]

Rotation on tire is off...

How off?

When they loaded him onto the container they removed the wheels. And then put the wheels on again. Would that explain the off rotation?

Or the previous owners didn't rotate them properly?

[wetamup2k3g]

The wheels are on the wrong side of the car. Swap left wheels with right wheels and all is well.

note that the PFL came with both a polished face and shadow painted inner aswell found on some st-r and vr4's aswell still found on the NZ new VR(non turbo V6)

[wetamup2k3g]

So these RIMS were made by Mitsubishi? or are they some special Racing wheels.

Anyway, I've read somewhere that when the VR4 was released, you can get these stadard rims or the optional 3 spoke rims.

The one that I got had 3 spoked Rims...I wonder if these are the said Optional 3 spoked RIMS or the former owner just tried to copy the look of the special optional 3 spoked RIMS.



They look like Volk C Ultra's, not sure if they were standard equipment on some trim level or not. One of the wheel guru's may have more info on them, I just googled "3 spoke volk" and that's what came up.

[gian7675]

The wheels are on the wrong side of the car. Swap left wheels with right wheels and all is well.

Ok thanks for the advice!

They were never stock on any Galant, any model, any generation that I've seen.

This is Stock Facelift VR4 Wheels buddy
This is Stock Pre Facelift VR4 Wheels

this is the BBS Wheel Found from what i can find commonly on the Type S Pre-Facelift VR-4

ohh split spokes, my bad. dunno what drugs i was on.

i have seen the bbs on galant and legnum pfls,

and the non split 5 spokes on both pfl and fl vr4's.

and the split ones on post 99 or something FL's...or maybe they were a factory option.

eg:

2000 model with basic 5 spokes (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2000-Mitsubishi-Legnum-LUXURY-TWIN-TUR-VR-4-Wagon-/390326376687?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item5ae143d8ef)

[Blue8g]

IDK sizing, but they're 7-series wheels...I believe they're 19x9/19x10, but that's iirc

[qcustoms]

thats sexy but here in NZ good luck even getting upto 50km/h on anything smaller than a /35 profile tyre.. i would never run anything less than a /45 as our roads are so so bad with potholes,possums,natives,homing rocks in the gorges etc,, ifind our cars max size we can run comfortably is a 18" with a minimum of 215/40/18, 19's are too rough and 20s are deadly lol

How come the ones on the VR4's looks bigger? Is the ad wrong and they're actually 17"? Or the RIMS on the pics totally different from the Outlander?

The tires on the Outlanders are larger than the Galants. That will make them seem smaller on the Outlander. Someone should get the part number for the VR4 wheels and the Outlander wheels, see if they we the same...:)

yeah...either it's just an optical illusion or Mitsubishi released these sets of RIMS in 2 sizes.

I hope someone can confirm this. I really want these RIMS on sale...but I want to buy the correct sized RIMS :icon_wink:

So if the size is indeed 16" What are the tires on the Red SVR4?

I like this look. Looks like the Rally Car that I pictured for the 8g.

^^^Nice shot, but back to CvWNL 8g. I think the matte black skirts look good..only thing else I would do, is paint that edge underneath the bumper that's showing the the same color. So the black transitions from the skirts to the bumper. That's just my take. I didn't know multi spoke wheels could look so good on an 8g. I think enkei has a new multi spoke model I saw on ebay that reminds me of CvWNL wheels. After seeing his car I think they would look good as well..but more money than I want/have to spend lol

Thanks for all the reply's guy's.

The black skirts on the 8G are stock in Europe. Maybe, in the future, I'll match their color with the rest of the car. It's on the wishlist.

I've got a lot of pictures of the car, but the direct side shots are rare. This is the best side shot I've got:

By the way: The 8G is already lowered on springs 2 - 2,5". Getting lower will result in problems on entering and leaving my driveway and on speedbumps in the Dutch roads.

I'll write an introduction in the "Welcome new member section".

I know. Man something about the simplicity of this car. Its your car but the thought of color matching the skirts is kinda makes me cringe lol. But its probably because its a common thing over there and foreign over here. So your probably looking for a change as to where I think your car is perfect as is. Looks like it should be the on the cover of a mitsubishi brochure lol.

i love the hellaflush look but i would have went with a smaller tire probly a 225/40/17 for a stretch tire look. still love the look though

Stretched tires = fail

[Blue8g]

No comment.

[possessedimports]

Stretched tires = fail

well different stokes; different folks.

[Skyforger]

well different stokes; different folks.

Not when your own safety is involved.

[Blue8g]

Stretched tyres really aren't that dangerous.....A 225 on a 9" wheel isn't that crazy....

[Skyforger]

It is in my eyes. There's a reason why the majority of tire shops won't mount small tires on too wide of a rim.

[Blue8g]

Because their techs don't know what they're doing and will damage the wheels or they don't want the (potential) liability nightmare?

[possessedimports]

Because their techs don't know what they're doing and will damage the wheels or they don't want the (potential) liability nightmare?
i agree 100%

[Skyforger]

Because their techs don't know what they're doing and will damage the wheels or they don't want the (potential) liability nightmare?

lol

Mounting the tires isn't the whole issue...it's after the car leaves. If that car has any sort of failure related to the improperly sized tires, and causes an accident, not only will the driver be deemed at fault, but the state will go after the shop that did the tire job and allowed a hazardous wheel setup to leave the shop, and fine them accordingly.

Most of these stretched tire jobs are done on the side, not in the shop on the clock, again...shops don't want the hassle of stupid tire setups, and liability concerns once the car leaves the shop.

[possessedimports]

a 225 on a 9 can be easily put on and how dangerous can a tire size like that be on a rim like that? its for looks and (no offense) how fast can you really go on a corner with your 8g to make the tire jump off the rim bead?

[Skyforger]

One well placed pothole can change that. I've seen people ruin normal OEM tire sizes from pothole damage, and if you catch a flat while in motion, it's just all the easier for the tire to pop the bead.

IMO, for the sake of a look, common sense shouldn't be thrown out the window.

I'm done, because this will turn into a flame war if it goes on. lol

[Blue8g]

http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h419/mike410b/Wekfest/6080815744_c7af847824_z.jpg

[Skyforger]

Doesn't mean a thing.

That is all.

Safety over function.

I don't need stretch to feel cool -__-


Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk 'cause I'm awesome...

[99galantES]

I think 225 on a 9 is perfect I don't think its dangerous at all some times a stretch is needed to tuck

[greddy]

225 is fine on a 9, for the galant ideally you'd do a 225/45 rather than a 225/40, I've test fitted them before, it's almost square with the edge of the wheel, especially if you run a performance tire which runs wide, also, whoever it was that said nobody takes corners fast enough in their galant to pop the tire off, I beg to differ, I've done it .my first time @ PIR, stock steelies with stock tires, popped the front tire right off when I understeered through the chicane at a retardly stupid pace. Enough talks, here's some more pics :)

Guys, I need to verify...

Are my RIMS copies? True or false?

A co-member in our local thread gave this declaration.

I also don't know if these are genuine because I have no idea about RIMS.

The RIMS came with the car.

Did he see anything amiss in the pics of the RIMS?

help!

They are Volk C-Ultra.

Its a quality wheel. It just happens to be a three spoke wheel like the Advan SA3R. However, its quite different other than the number of spokes.

A nice gunmetal or diamond black (like the finish in my sig) would be nice IMO

Im actually considering the gunmetal idea.. Im gonna try to see if I ask my friend to photoshop it for me and see what they can come up with.

[zobgel]

+1 for the gunmetal. Gunmetal wheels will look good on your patriot red 8G.

[Laidback8g]

Thanks im gonna consider it, Im going to start looking for some spare wheels to put on while ill send these wheels out, might even put on "brake caliper upgrades"

[LudviG]

The original wheels for the German sport edition. 17" Borbet wheels. High quality and fit the car very well. I use them for winter tyres. With Yellow adjustable KONI dampers and unknown lowering spring (Was monted then i bought the car)

Wrapped in 205/50-17 Nokian Hakka R studless winter tyres.

[jgarcia]

[specter6633]

enkei rsv 17x7.5 225/50/r17 can some one paint them black? BTW i got so tired of the Michelin tires making the annoying scratching noise that i hammered the back end of the wheel well . no more noise .http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/johny9639/2012-05-23_19-42-55_919.jpg

Bronze and black = win. You have a nice look, don't ruin it. Black on black is terribly played out. Unless they're steelies. Steelies are win.

[Blue8g]

Steelies are for poor people or winter wheels.

Better tell that to all the Jeep/truck owners out there that go rock crawling and mud bogging then.

Volk SE-37Ks, I think they look damn good on a galant

[Skyforger]

I can't argue with that. Then again, I'm a sucker for that weave style.
