Yo bay area guys, i have a newb question since i dont know much about rims...
I have 18inch stock rims and My Tire size are 225 45R18 91W, the tires that came from the dealership..

Question is what do i look for (measurements) in rims if i do not want to change tires?

Thanks!

 

so you want different rims but you want to keep the OEM tires?

if this is the case, don't go with anything over 8.5inch wide, make sure the lug pattern is 114.3x5, and make sure the offset isnt under 35

if you stick to those rules you should be fine

 

Ya i want to keep da tires

 

Haha, true. We should totally BBQ some time. Im gonna be at the meet this friday, but the next i shall be missing. Gotta fly home to take care of some biznass.

LETS BBQ! probably in a better area than Union City

 

hmm...i know of a REALLY good spot up here in berkley, its got a private parking lot, sort of, and a **** can, but only if some of you guys want to make the trek up here

we could meet somewhere easy and then I can lead the way

or if you want to find something good down there thats cool too, either way

 

^^ what he said. Adam what are the two wide angle lenses you told me about? Sorry, I know I asked this a couple of times. Do you know where I can get a good price on them.

 

Raging Waters? or that park on the way to Mt. Hamilton.

 

I got a rental when I dropped my car off today. So I'm good for my ride this week.

 

One of the lenses that is a must have is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and for the wider angle the, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.

 

^Thank you sir...I sure appreciate it

 

hey does anyone know of a good exhaust shop that could replicate the helix exhaust? there is one im bidding on on ebay that im trying to get. i hope i can get it, if so then there will be a RB exhaust for sale in the future.

 

Neil, ask Adam, he knows an exhaust guy.

 

Guaranteed Muffler in Fremont is great. I know the Owner. His name is Allen. He did my custome exaust installed for $350 and thats with Qty 2 XR1 Borla racing Mufflers. They have a manderal pipe bender as well. He is a great guy.

Another nub question.... I like the smoked headlights/ taillights look. Where can i get them done around da bay area? or is it easy to do yourself?

Thanks

ah nm imma just get some overlays lol.
EDIT

 

I ordered the Bluebatmobile overlays. I like the idea of vinyl over that spray. Either way it's not too difficult to install.

 

Hello Everybody! I am talking to a shop in Hayward for a Dyno Day for us in the Bay Area. I am just throwing out the idea to see if anyone is interested. If there is enough interest, it will probably be set up in 2-3 weeks on a saturday.

Price: $60 for 3 pulls with wideband.

Let me know!

 

Hey, im planning on getting intake soon for my car but in the mean time i need to pick up a regular airfilter for my 8. should i just say screw it and go with a FRAM or should i put up the 70 bucks for a K&N airfilter. Will the engine make a better sound with just the K&N in there or no? Cuz i do believe that its the tube that makes the sound

 

You won't hear any difference no matter what filter you buy. If you take off that tube, it will sound better. If you are going to buy an intake, you might as well go cheap and get the fram.

 

I'd be down for that Dyno day.

 

im down for the dyno day

FORZA 2 KICKS ***!!!!

and I will be selling my RX7 on saturday morning

call me up david when you get a chance
