Yeah, stick with the same width wheels all around.

Staggered wheels on a FWD car is lame, leave that style to RWD cars, IMO.

Looks better than before. Stance looks pretty good IMO. Don't listen to Cody he just doesnt like XXR's. I dont either but the way she sits is on point.

Looks sort of kind of sexy. But everyone on here knows that it rides like absolute dog shit. Complete and total dog shit as in take out the springs... install dogshit that is baked into the form of a coil and then drive on it. Total and complete dogshit.

Don't argue with me on that fact. It's a fact that your car rides like total dogshit. There is no amount of excuses or rationalization that is going to convince me that your car rides and handles anything other than complete and total(when I say total, I mean categorically) dogshit.


With that said I hope that is what you are going for. A car that looks neato but rides like dogshit, and handles like dogshit. On dogshit tires.

It looks cool. Don't worry, I'm not singling you out. I give equally as much grief to all of the ridiculous VW owners that stretch cheap tires and do the stance thing. Their cars all ride and handle like complete and total dogshit too.


With that said, Its somewhat interesting to see someone try something different on a 7g. So props for that.
Even though we all know how your car rides and handles. (think: dogshit)

I like the new wheels.

justin

Well I'm going to add .25mm spacer in front or maybe even a .5 to extend it... Also have some extended lugs coming in from Summit Racing... Also I'm not the 1st 7g to do the stance look... But thank you guys for the input... I have kyb shocks and struts coming in and groundcontrols... I'm not going for track or performance on this 7g. I love the Stance world... Down here in GA and most SE it's a life style now... And seeing I have my 240 for drifting I'm all good with everything... When I get a new 7g gut it and drop a 6a12tt n it I'll keep the stance thing away from it.... I promise

Props to you Justin. But remember, XXR are recently known to crack against severe pot holes be careful where you drive.

I dislike the fitment too lol.

Too aggressive in the rear. Tyre sizing seems weird too.

Blue8G can you find some Rays' Volk TE37 for cheap?....

Blue8g
02-16-2012, 03:57 PM
Wrong thread brotato.

And most likely not.

Cheap relative to what people sell them for normally? Yes. Cheap relative to the average wheel? No.

TE37s set u back a few Gs... I have some TE37 rep.. Cost me 200... Cleaned, and shaved from road rash. Then painted teal.. :).... But there 17x7.5+42... and the front wheels on the XXRs are 17x8+25 with 205/40/rz17 and rear are 17x9+20 215/40/rz17.....

justin
02-16-2012, 10:35 PM

Those aren't TE37 reps.

Look more like really poorly done SSR Longchamp reps.

To DOHCstunr the fenders at rolled and the RIDE AND HANDLE is better then when I had the 17x7.5+40... Sry bust ur bubble but it's nice to drive and not feel every fucking hole in the ground lol... Adding spacers n the front Saturday maybe... I love way it sits and rides :) ...... And yea idk I call I'm TE reps but there sold now... Need money to fuel my tattoo addiction lol....

I think you've got the feeling of a stiffened sidewall confused with improved handling OP.

^ thanks I'm getting alot of looks at it even tho I'm basically the only Galant in GA goes to Car meets and basically only Mitsubishi besides Evos so people like it and I always got a few haters. Like always but I love the wheels I'm keeping the staggered stance going slame front a bit and put 1/4 spacers on so it add lil more offset..... An camber... :-) I hardly drive it anyways so tires still new lol :-) I sold my teal wheels thanks for all the good words and input like I said it's a lifestyle :-)
