So what do you guy's think of this wheel? It has a lot more size options. Sizes that fit my needs. Like tall Asian women fit Atilla's needs.

Easy: i personally love those wheels - but as recent research has informed me that they are kinda heavier in the wider specs. Check out the wheel weights on the 5zigen website.

I don't think they're too bad in 18x8.5's n' such but any wider kinda stretches it


btw, i seriously wanna meeet that asian chick - i <3 me some hot tall asian wimminz

Easy I have mounted some of those wheels and I fell in love with em when I saw them. Get em man they are so sexy

so guys since the Greddy thing was kinda a bust for me since they ran outta the stuff I wanted and they didnt have the gauges...even though I shoulda bought em they were dirt cheap.
So no idea now what to get. I am going to try and swap the exhausts with that guy. I was thinking a CF hood....but I forgot I just got the hood dampers swapped and for the OE hood. Then I was thinking of some gauges but idk which ones...
A Zex kit came to mind as I have been wanting one...but my gf and boss are really against nitrous and I would never hear the end of it. Any suggestions?

Front 17x8 25mm offset 25 lbs
Rear 17x9 37 mm offset 26 lbs

Kinda heavy I know. But it comes in the sizes I need. That's what's killing me with wheels.
I find something in the style I like and they don't have the size or they don't have the offset. I'm trying not to use spacers in the front.

Your in the wrong state dude. She lives in AZ.

Roger: if i may make a suggestion - if you're gonna go with gauges - go Jedi's route - honestly they're the cleanest setup IMO. Check out his thread on his gauge setup - so useful, very clean and low key.

If not there - i would expand on your priority with the car. (ie. Function or Form) if you're more function then i would advise going with something that will further enhance your driving experience. if you're more form, like yours truly, go for something pretteh - if you're more for both, aim for something like wheels.

Sorry for no definite answer but in reality, its your choice - i'm just reminding you to stick with the direction you originally chose to go when you started modding your car.


p.s. you're a son-of-a-bitch for deleting your post form Dozers driveway and posting it in here - after i posted i was like 'wtf??? am i trippin'?? wtf happened to rogers post??"

haha i realized I posted it in the wrong place. I am form over function. And as far as wheels go im pretty satisfied with the ones I have right now. And I dont have no where near enough to get the ones I want.
I was thinking about Jedi's route...i love the way they look. It was what made me want to get gauges...but I want the lotek pod. I was reading further into it and someone posted that they dont sell the Nordskog gauges anymore...so i was kinda disappointed. Now I R LOST

This is the look I want and those wheels/size/offset will do it. 255/40's in the back and 235/40's up front. I want a body kit, but I would prefer to not get the widebody fenders.

well ,my exhaust is pending sale right now if the guy decides to take it tomorrow. So I will need to pick one up. I cant find the thread with the guy trading the SE for 300 + stock exhaust...seemed kinda fishy though. SO I guess I will have to pay up the $500 for a new one unless some other sale comes up.

Was it that cartoon_luv email address? He is legit I believe, just doesn't really speak english. I was tempted to buy the OEM appearance package from him but am not sure if I can justify the $$ for stock parts, lol...

Roger, $500 isn't too bad for a brand new exhaust. I paid $400 for a new HKS single and was satisfied with it... It really depends if you know you're going to be happy with it. Eventually some legitimate aftermarket catback will pop up on the forum but it all comes down to what you really want.

$130 for the pulleys isn't too cheap, wasn't the list something like $160?

Gah, I should have gone yesterday morning while I was free -_-

Get over here and we'll discuss it further.
There is a pic of me squeezing her and another Hot asian model when I won a prize in the Raffle today. I just have to wait for them to post it.
