^^^AAaaahhhh!!! WHEEL GAP!

 

Wow, car looks great !

If i couldve found R90's in 18, i wouldve got them before i got my HRE's. Which Wilwood kit is that ? Car is C'est bom ! (sorry dont know much French, only portuguese )

 

Ooops, way ahead of myself sometimes.

 

I wish! I would go crazy trying to choose which one to drive each day. Those are a couple of friends cars.

 

Colin, Where did you get those wheels?

 

"Kuul" Thanx!

 

I'm gonna venture to say eBay. I've seen a couple sets up there on the european side of eBay. They look nice BTW. Do you know what the weight is?

 

Colin lives in Brussels and he wrote that he purchased them at a local shop in Brussels. Take a big suitcase and head off to Belgium, it's really nice there.

 

Might have to one of these days. I know I've seen 18's on eBay, BTW... I'll try and find a link.

 

What brand of wheels are these? They really appeal to me! Nice look!

 

They appear to be maxxim's/konigs.....but they're replicas of the Equip wheels make by Work wheels Drag and Axis make replicas of the wheel too.

 

Do you think these 17inch wheels with mount to the R56 S?

ADVAN RZ







Here is the pdf file for the fitting, check out the chart for IMPORTED cars.
I'm hoping the 17x7 4x100 M14Hole is the one for the R56.
So which is better, ET38 or ET42?

Either offset will work....it's only a 4mm difference which is very small. What size tire do you plan on running? Lowering the car at all? I'd say et38 unless you're looking to fit some really wide tires or something....then I'd go et42 just to gain a little extra clearance.

 

Well, since these are 7 width wheels, i'll probably stick with the OEM size of 205/45/17, I might try 215/40/17 down the road.

Yes, I will be lowering the car the absolute max of 1 inch but in realty, it should be .75 inch. I do not plan to scrape the bottom of the car too much.

With the ET42 vs ET38, how much gap if left between the wheel lip and the edge of the car's fender? Cause later on, i am planning to install a BBK. With my past experience with BBKs, the aluminium hat mounts to the hub, and that adds to the ET, so perhaps ET38 now would be great but later on, too much?

 

Oh my those Advan wheels are HOT!!! Um but I think they are 7.5 width.
Where do you get them and are they pricey???

 

I think so too!

Check out the pdf link i posted up, scroll down to the sizing chart or IMPORTED cars. There you will find the 17 x 7. Do note that that is a Japanese brochure and 'domestic' cars to them are Japanese, 'imported' are what ever else that's not manufactured and produced in Japan.

Well, getting them in USA isn't a problem. Just go a google search for them and you'll get pleanty of tuner shops that's bringing them in.

Pricey...... hell yeah! Comparable to Volks.

 

16" slipstreams - track setup. it's not supposed to be nice

 

thats the way i like um. not nice and dirty. mean is good.

 

Alright....than I would suggest 38 to later accomodate your bbk. I generally use 17x7 et33 or et32 as a wheel that sits RIGHT at the fender line.....so you'll have a little bit of space still. It will be close, but it will look nice and aggressive.

 

CLOSE THAT SUNROOF WHILE ON TRACK!!!!!! And where's your helmet and car numbers?!?!?!

 

Those are some nice burnt rotors.

 

That's called "Ridin' Dirty!"
