your car looks so nice with those wheels i love the euro look. and the rack just tops it off what kind is it?

 

here's mine with R90

 

Kosie K1 with Yoko. AVS ES100

 

Is that 215/45? Real Cool!

 

... ooops, forgot that size stuff

Kosie's are 17-7.5
Yokos are 215-45-17

Nice looking..

I am reconsidering my dark colored wheels and putting some silver ones on instead. But the brake dust! Oh, I can't stand it.

 

just don't clean it...then you will have gunmetal wheels!

 

But I'll be back to square one!:smile:

 

onasled looks great...

do you get any rubbing or not i am thinking of getting 215/45/17 , i am running 215/40/17 with M7 springs and i think a offset of 42...

 

It was rubbing just a bit with my 120lbs+ 4 factory wheels in the back while I was driving back from the shop. This morning with me in the car I did not notice any rubbing at all. I will trim the wheel well this weekend anyway...just to get them off my radar.

 

Yep, it rubs ...

I never did get to trimming of the wheel wells so I have already rubbed through the driver side rear. Only rubbing in the rear. When I'm alone, takes a big bump to rub. When I have another person, smaller bumps.

Does not bother me at all and there is absolutely no tire damage. Just need to peel of the melted plastic from the tire...

Need to trim it up this weekend I guess

By the way, H-sport springs.

 

I rub a little with my k1 ts and 215/45/17 and it's at the stock height. Them kumhos mx are just wide..

 

Rubbing is not a bad thing...it's a music of your car with instrument of the street.

 

bad thing it only rubs during dips at higher speeds...now, that can be scary sometimes.

 

Nice wheels.............People say I am always a trendsetter.......oh mine are 18"

 

No you're not! Do you think you went to SCAD and you would become trendsetter Just kidding! Your car is real nice with 18"

Actually I want Flik Wasps gunmetal, but I have been waiting for 2 months and no solid arriving date yet, so i went with my very first choice that I have been thinking for a year...ASA AR1 (the closest thing to R90)

 

I am thinking 18's myself...

But then again, I am thinking EVO 8..

 

With falken ziex 215/45/17 and kosei k1 17x7.5 on factory suspension I'm having no rubbing.

 

I just took the center caps off from all 4 wheels and I can see some rust built up in there. How to deal with it?

My 2004 PW "S" with new 17" Ro-ja LT5 series gunmetal wheels...

 

Yea, rust does grow in that area. What I did was this. Steel wool’ed the rust as best I could. It's usually very surface there so it's not hard to do.

I then heated up the center cap area until all the moister has left the hat. You can actually see the moister evaporate off the hat. Now you know it's just hot enough to spray on Krylon paint, color of your choice, black for me.

This basically bakes the paint on and dries the paint almost instantly. I then lightly go over the paint with more heat.

Below is a pic my uncle took of me doing the heating of the hat area.

By the way, I love your RC car! I do RC sailboats myself ...

 

onasled,

Thanks for the technique!

I think you RC link is broken, but I can sense your transmitter!
