Yeah I know.... I'm lazy :icon_no2: :flamed:

I'm getting these 1000000000% haha they are amazing. Especially now I see them on the 8. Gotta wait to start summer work though. 3 more weeks counting down.

^:lol: @ your siggy

oops, didn't see this addressed to moi.

According to Rishie they're part of the batch being machined now so supposedly it'll be another 3 weeks till finished then shipment. Likely not till the 1st week of May, 2nd week being worst case. Was hoping to get them before May to get all my mods done but looks like I'll have to put my new suspension on my stockies until these come in.

Something to look at while you wait.

Woah, where's the "STANCE" bro?

Rishie

I was waiting on the wheels to get mounted, they are on there I just need to drop it another inch or two.

I already dropped it 1.5 inches

Brice are those f14's in white?? If so did you have them custom painted or powder coated? Id love to have f14's in white.

Damn sexy evo there

edit: btw how do you like those hancook v12's. I'm thinking about picking up a set as my next tires, still hesitant as they are still sorta new.

Yes they are F14's in white I had them custom powder coated white.

I have yet to really push the tire with the V12's on the street. shoot me a pm in 2 weeks or so and I will let you know my thoughts because I was between this tire and the Kumho XS which I have on my 8 which I absolutely love.

The white looks great btw, I have the stockies on my VR8 painted white and looks good to me. Some people dont really like white wheels but I think it looks great, esp when clean haha.

Yeah I will shoot you a PM in a couple weeks, I'm stuck on the v12's or the Kumho SPT's. The v12's have a nice price at $135 on tirerack so thats calling me instead of the $155 for the SPT's.

Apparently I shouldn't expect my set before May, the wait is so long, I ordered mine back in February.:Eyecrazy:

More pic's of the wheels - taken by me at the Formula drift show

i really can't wait for mine to come in :) :(

I think the owner of the car went really modest with the tire. I think he could easily pull 275's or hell, 285's w/a roll and possibly a slight pull.

I'm also really diggin' the new centercaps :yumyum:

sexxyyyyy

Hmm... wondering what color wheel would look best on a BB...

I'd like to have the gold, but don't really want to pay extra ( I want the 18's). Black on black isnt really my thing... gunmetal?

I havent found any pics of these wheels on a black car :(

Love the wheels, but looking at that Evo really pisses me off! The tires are not nearly as wide as they should be. You see way too much of the rim and it ends up looking like an abortion to me.

Do what Atilla said...throw some wider tires on there and you'll be sick sexy.

Ya totally agree. That's the Forgestar Sales Manager's EVO X. He didn't think the 275's would fit but there's gobs of room. I've got a buddy with 18x10 +15 on his EVO with 275/35/18 and trimmed rear fenders.

Rishie

^[the bold print] :lol: i have no idea why - but i just spat water out from laughing. :lol:


btw Rishie, any updates??

:suspect:

I shall have pics of my 18x10's on this weekend with or without fender rolling done

^:rock:

what size tires you running 'laze??

Ok guys I know this may sound bad but I will update you as soon as I get something. They are scheduled for machining and are getting done right now.

I am just waiting to hear from them as we progress through the month. It is supposed all get out this month.

Thanks, Rishie

Thank you, sir. :Peace:

Love the way these look on the RX8. God, that blue 8 is pure sexzies. I wish my modding goals were a little less ambitious so I could afford a set.

MORE PICS PLEEEEASE!!! (Hey, I can dream)

:suspect:

Whelp....looks like tire install will have to be NEXT weekend. Lug nuts ordered from Amazon are still not in yet and should be mid-week. So the whole fender roll process and mount up will be done next weekend unfortunately. Rims look so sexsay with the Hankook tires mounted up waiting for action......getting anxious :eyetwitch

rs3's?

V12's

Also wanted to note, the rim weighed roughly around 21.8 lbs averaging, and with the Hankook 255/40 combo, it came in a rough average of 49 lbs contrast to the stockies average of 48 lbs. So for adding 2 in more of wheel width (18x10) not to mention a low offset of +28 and only having 1 more lb in weight total, I'm satisfied with it.

:suspect:

So guys hopefully late next week the good news of shipping will begin. just take that with a grain of salt. I am told the batch of 18's are scheduled for final machining next week. We shall have to wait and see if it happens. Just letting you know what I am told.

the higher offset 18x10 will definitely be lighter due to a thinner mating pad.

Thanks, Rishie

Rishie, will you be calling or emailing us a notification when they're ready next week?? i'd like to get my hands on them as soon as possible.

Yes of course, otherwise how would you get these wheels? lol.

Rishie

:lol:

whatever man, i was hoping you would just call me instead of pming or emailing because i don't check it as frequently any more - lol.

As soon as you give me word that they're ready i'm throwin' my work pile on the floor n' walkin' out lol

where are we going to be picking these up from? (city at least)

:suspect:

As promised Rishie, there you go :)

Still have some work left to do before the car is ready with the new tire/rims. I'll post up some final pics on the street when it's all done which hopefully should be Sunday.

Looks awesome :bigok:

I honestly can't wait to see mine - seeing another SS w/these wheels makes me teary eyed :tear:

but yeah...


hey 'laze































































i can see your wheel gap from here ;)

:rofl: Well I have the details in the aggressive thread about that. I already plan on lowering more and noted there is more work to be done. Rears are gonna go down another 1/2 - 3/8" max and front 1/4 max. Can only fit 1 finger between the front tire and fender, rears 2. Rear's are going to be around 25 7/8" from fender to ground and fronts 25 3/4". It's not as low as some you see over there but any lower and it's gonna hit with the shit roads we have over here. They're quite brutal.

Keep in mind the car already is lowered, just needs to be lowered more ;)

looks sexy vlaze. cant wait to seem them in person

'laze; i was just bustin' you bro - shit looks great - i'm just jealous that i don't have mine yet :(

'nilla I know, just that I'm not completely satisfied with the wheel gap myself :D:

Look at it this way, you'll have a different color than mine on the SS, so it WILL look different ;). We could be like the SS F14's bro's rolling into SS 13 :bigok: Unless I can't afford it :suspect:

What width/offset you get and color?

I just ordered new wheels/shocks/springs :) for ss13 hehe

18x10 :D:

my offset is borderline aggressive only because i wanted to run 275's on all four corners :D:

i'll be buying another set of wheels that are far more aggressive but i wanted something that can put down a lot of rubber to the road. :D:

Still 18x10 tho :D: - like i've been saying - i've been stuck on this porn star's mentality regarding the width; 'If it ain't at least 10inches - i ain't fuckin' with it' :D:

:lol:

275's are run a lot but mostly by those who use narrower rims than 10" and auto x with them.

cough up the offset numbas and tire you're getting :suspect:

shhhhhhhh - secrets :suspect:

+38 w/ 205's I think

that's not a typo :suspect:

+38 w/25mm spacers ftw! :lol:

:lol: you can't be serious. That does not sound like a 'nilla tactic :suspect:

yeah, def not serious :lol:

i got the specs i wanted the first time around - i won't need spacers :)

Looking good Vlaze
