autornd in the vendor forum

 

^ thanks I looked at them but the don't carry the emotion series unfortunately

 

Did you ask him or just look at the website?

 

+1 you need to call- You'll be surprised what vendors have or can get that isn't on their websites

 

yeah I just looked at the website I'll call em early next week got my last final tomorrow and than got my 20+ hour drive back to south florida, thanks again for the advice I guess the best bet is to do a lot of shopping around I was hoping to pick up a wheel and tire combo for around 2000-2200 I'll prolly end up paying a bit more I think..

 

or desmond performance, that place has pretty good pricing in my experience

 

Ravspec is a great dealer. Best prices I could find on the net and they have amazing customer service which I find rare these days.

 

yeah they are great guys over there.
I've been in their warehouse and offices and they are more then willing to go the extra mile for their customers

 

I'm becoming a picture *****

 

pico your allowed to be a ***** lol.. and I don't say that too often... your setup is amazing. What rotors you got on there?

 

Thanks! yeah the roads here in central western jersey can be iffy at times. Get it painted a clear bra it
LOL. Rotor Pros with my own personal touches included

 

Finally got all my stuff today, got them mounted, pictures will follow in about say an hour.

These work decals for the kais seem to be a pain.. Hmmm

 

yeah the decals can be a pain. there's no real easy way of doing it.

 

pictures TOMMORROW NOW, COULDN'T GET ALL THE DECALS ON IN TIME/ CAR CLEANED.. They are such a pain in the ***, but they do look good I must admit. I just hope they stay.

 

I love how the satin bronze finish changes color in different lighting.

 

The car is looking clean as usual Josh

When is the OCC meet bud?

 

Thanks! June 5th.

 

^ hmmm I got to look at my schedule
i would like to make it up there-- not to far

 

Anyone know the weights on the CR-KAI 18 x 9.5?

 

Around 26lbs.
HEAVY and there are no center caps

 

really they are that heavy? because the 18x8.5's are around 20.7 lbs damn that totally throws a wrench in what I want lol

don't really mind that there are no centercaps

 

^what's your price range?? there might be more options for you.

 

I was looking to not spend more than 2200 for the whole wheel and tire setup but obviously the lower I can go the better I really love the split 5 spoke look with the deep concave face/ I'm kinda in love with these wheels lol

Edit: Just got off the phone with Work and they told me that the 18x9.5 format ways roughly 23.8 pounds which is slightly heavier than stock which is around 22 pounds if I'm not mistaken but I can probably live with that...

 

Renesis brake system!?

Are you competitively racing for the world championship?

You'll be fine with an extra lb or two

So many other factors come into play; seat time, compound of tires, tire width, tire psi, suspension components, etc that a couple lb sacrifice for an additional inch and a half really won't hurt anything.

Just a tip though - look into used wheels and/or tire setups. You'll be able to get something much higher tier for $2200 and potentially lose nothing if you ever need to sell. This would be a great place to start - http://forums.evolutionm.net/sale-wheels-tires-132/ Its really hit or miss though, you've got to keep an eye on it to catch the deals. I once sold some 100% MINT ce28n w/ 45% Toyo R1r on there for $2200 (though I got considerably higher offers via PM )
