wheels look dope,nice choice...and yes, car is bagged now and it's not NEARLY as bad as everyone on here makes it out to be. I don't race it, track it, autocross it, and I can still play in the twisties all day long, then park it slammed whenever I want for the shows etc. I did come real close to pitching the car altogether after the last motor incident (I posted pics in the negative dealers section) but the car is paid off in December and now has some sponsors and industry attention etc. so it seemed kinda' silly to give up like that. I'll have more pics once it's done, or swing by the shop if you like :)

Can't wait to see those pics, I can't imagine what that might look like when slammed

chris__n 10-10-2009 12:39 PM

rota or not those wheels look sick, especially sized well. after you roll + get coilovers they could stand to get a 10-15mm spacer, but right now it looks sick

thebiggdaddy 10-10-2009 01:46 PM

nice pics. i think you should take off the center caps.

Atilla 10-10-2009 03:53 PM

good to hear! i'm really hoping i can get into a shop this week. they're fine at low speeds, but my left rear rubs over any bump, and at highway speeds it's not good!!

dozer 10-10-2009 08:59 PM

i rub when i turn, im also on a drop

blamerobb 10-10-2009 09:09 PM

what kind of wheels are they and whatd they run. they look way sick

altspace 10-10-2009 09:09 PM

Looks nice for sure. I can see the marks on your tires where it rubs. Problem I found going that was even after rolling the rear fenders it still touches the spot where the bumper meets the fender. This part can not be rolled. Just have to live with it.

Ross_Dawg 10-10-2009 09:14 PM

Hence the term "pulling" the fenders ;)

blamerobb 10-11-2009 02:35 AM

damn i would love these on my car i love bronze on vr i would so pick these up

c41250n 10-11-2009 03:25 AM

He bought em off another guy in socal

FINALLY got my fenders rolled! I drove to work today in the rain, but was still able to corner faster than i have been, and less worried about bumps on the highway. like ross dawg, atill and other said, i could still benefit from a pull/flare, and i think that would look sweet, but at least for now i'm about 90% better w/ just a roll.

i can finally drive my car again like a sports car! i was getting pretty f-ing antsy!!

oh - cost $40 per fender fyi.
