    new rims for the G

    Short and sweet. I got new rims. They are Konig Heliums 17X7. I know they have a bad rep but I dont drive my car hard at all. (never even spun a tire) But anyway I like them. I found them on craigslist someone was selling a vr4 with them on it so I asked to buy them and got them for $475. New tires but one had a nail so I pluged it. The wheels are like new no curb rash or anything. Now what I want is some coilovers. What do you guys think of them?










    by the way is there a way to delete an old post that I made?
    Also on Craigslist Louisville Ky there is what looks to be a evo8-9 wing for $50. type wing in search box and look for it. (its not mine)

    Thanks for all the positive coments. I really want to drop it and get some rear disk breaks but Im out of money now. Drop springs would be much cheeper but I think that they would drop it too much for the roads in Ky.

    Sorry...I meant better angled pics...the first pic is tiny, the second is of the front of the car, and the third maybe I can see 50% of the rim. I do like em though.

    They suit your car well. I think black / charcoal / any darker color that is not blue would look better for your lugs though.

    I also would personally ditch the Jeep / monster truck style foglights and upgrade to something more steamline / JDM looking.

    I'm not going to say anything about the wheels themselves

    but dude, you overpaid......I've seen Konigs go for 350 with four new tires that don't need repair

    they look great


    now you need to drop it low, and do something with the front end. why you go to a 94-96 front end?

    I really want to get some coilovers sometime in the future. I bought the car for $963 because it has a rebuilt title. It was fixed with the older front before I got it. I really like the way the 97-98 bumpers look and plan to get one someday.
