New Wheels...Finally
 
3 Attachment(s)
So, I'm waiting for center caps, an alignment, possibly some minor spacers(after alignment), and aero to arrive from paint.

But, my 5 month wait is finally over, and I couldn't wait to snap a few pictures.

Full shoot once I get her all buttoned up. For now, it's a bit ragged. Enjoy.

Dope looking wheels!

I'm digging how and where you mounted the coolant reservoir.

Engine bay is looking clean. What kind of aero are you getting?

Hardly aggressive fitment, but maybe later.

First, Best user name ever. I literally LOL'ed.

Got the Shine Burnout replica lip and the Feed sides. We'll see how I like the sides ( not liking the look so far), but I'll have to wait to judge after they are painted and mounted. I can't justify spending the money on an MS kit through the dealer; although, that was my first choice.

Not all colors can pull off chrome wheels, but man, your blue looks sexy as hell with them!

Let me make sure I follow correctly... You pulled your air pump, relocated your battery and coolant bottle but are still naturally aspirated? You got something in progress there?

ShellDude 05-04-2012 12:03 AM

ah, missed your last sentence .... nice!

Was boosted. Been NA for a while now. Did battery relocation a while back, and just did the coolant bottle to clean up a few things here and there.

Yes, new setup is in the works later this year.


Oh yeah, good thing they're not chrome if you really wanted to get technical ;)

if those are 9in wide and +30 offset or lower then you my friend are considered aggressive! what are your specs?

EricB 05-04-2012 12:37 AM

good choice! im either getting these or 3.3.1's from varrstoen for my future FD..

Havnt decided on what color im going to paint it though, metropolitan gray mica or possibly chaste white. Rim color depends on what i paint it.

Excellent wheels! RavSpec has a used bronze set in 18x9.5+35mm i believe for $1500 on sale.

Wind Dance 05-04-2012 12:38 AM

Looking good, i just got my cr kais last month. I'm bummed out that the original cr's didnt have a center cap option.

Yeah, bummed my caps didn't arrive with the wheels. They are on back order, but I was notified that the shipment should arrive this week.

bah, they would have to be 18x9.5 with a 20-30mm offset. Im looking to run the same size tires in front and back in order to save SOME cash, its a FD after all.

If i paint white(i love white FD's, i feel they might be too common though) then id need WMB kiwamis,

if i paint metro gray(i can park it next to my metro gray 8 and use white wheels, and ive never seen the color on a FD)

I won't sell you mine, but I can have another one made(it's stainless btw, but i can have it made in aluminum). I still have the CAD file and jig. PM me for details if you want one ;)

Neeeeaaaat!

brilliantblackrx8 05-04-2012 10:48 AM

Looks great OP, gonna take a shot and say Federal 595's 265/35 on coilovers? Like you said, many of the fitments now are much more aggresive, but this looks good and fills up the gaps nicely.
