Yeah, I'm temporarily living under my mom's roof, and welcome is wearing thin. Best to keep her happy for the next few weeks until I'm back in my place.

 

 

Palo Uber Autobahn Series 1 17"

 

I recognize those wheels... Sportmaxx, forgot the number...

 

yah the wheels on that DS MCS are the sportmax 962's....another example of palo uber selling a wheel for a price much higher than the actual cost of the wheel.

 

thanks mach v dan for the input . question are the cast wheels worth a flip or should i go with the forged. also the evo is awesome . awd with some hp.

 

Let the wheel gap jokes begin!!!

 

Oooops!!! I tried to paste the pic... Here it is!!! 18" Flick Wasp from Edge Racing with 215-35-18... Springs are next.

 

Polished Webspokes:

 

some black powdercoated centers would look cool on those

 

They JUST got polished. Now powdercoat those suckers. . .

Lookin good, passat774. Coilovers next!

 

Hehe i know passat....he'll be looking for a new project soon enough.

Don't get me wrong....i think the new polish is looking amazing.

sandtoast is right about coilovers though

 

The cast are 99% of what 5Zigen sells in the U.S. -- I think the forged models are special-order only. They are also about double the price.

You have some wheel gap but it doesn't look all that bad in the pics!!!

 

this looks nice. but at 35et, you're kinda limited in tire size...
rally? any opinions?

this was one of my candidates as well in the past.

 

on my recent setup i found that the passenger side rear slightly rubs
going over the same bumpy predetermined road... i just took it
another 10mph faster this time to see .... and sure enough it
rubbed. lol

i may or may not dremel it. it's not like the arch is going to fly off
and the rubbage only occurs on huge dips and bumps.

 

The 205/40's should prove to work well for him....but going with a taller sidewall or wider tire would possibly cause rubbing. I'm not sure on the availability of choice in the 205/40/17 size, but i can't imagine it's that bad.

On a 7 inch wide wheel, i always used 35mm as the offset that basically lines the wheel up with the edge of the fender fender.

I think his setup looks great

 

Dude, that looks SICK I love it! Any other pics?

 

And they are VERY light weight. About 15 lbs. IIRC.

 

you are making me regret my decision to not get rp-f1
i am jealous

 

yah the weights on those wheels (in all sizes) always astounded me Definitely a good balance between good looks and good performance
