New Wheels and Tires Check it out Opinions PLZ
Okay so i had painted the stocks a gold awhile back but im tired of that so im getting aftermarket wheels and tires.....umm did i say bc im getting tired i mean because i slammed my rear end into a curb...long story short- pulled out into the highway at night, not redlining but driving fast and rear end kicked out bad..pushed in clutch straightened out, shifted second kicked out worse to close to curb to save and boom..one cracked rim and one bent bar that conect to the sway bar endlink.....
the rims are 19 x 8 front 19 x 9.5 rear http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/D_A_4/fddf_1.jpg |

nothing? aww c'mon
|
IF the pictured rims are the EXACT rims you will be purchasing, (lip-size etc...) Then I think they will look pretty sweet. They've certainly got a Euro feel to them, but IMO it would be nice on the 8...
|
yea i felt the same way about them .....thanx
|
damm you really busted up the OE wheel. the wheel you are considering would look good on your car in bronze, gold or gunmetal.

Nice Drivin!

:lol: thank you..tell that to my checking account it will beg to differ..luckily i fixed it all myslef.. i dont say anything but till this day i still think something was in the road for it to kick out so hard pulling second almost like it was on ice
|
Make sure to post pics.
|
those stockers in gold look terrible. and i guess you don't believe in ever washing your wheels. looks like that brake dust has collected for quite some time.
as for the new wheels you're looking at, i'd have to see them on an 8 and a picture pulled out. too hard to say from just that. |

Definitely would have to see them on the 8. And I would probally save that kind of driving for the track.

offset won't change the fact your rear tires are much wider than the front :)
If you don't plan on tracking the car then it's not that big of a deal... |
no..no track...it would be nice seeing i have a track 2 minutes from work and home
|
If you're not tracking it, it really won't be an issue... My rims are staggered and I don't have any problems in my day-to-day driving because of it...
The rear-end is still very easily kicked out if you want it to lol. (But in your case, perhaps not in your best interest ;)) |
