have u any pix from the rear to see how well they fill the fenders??!!

 

langston: you still have the white roof, dude, what is the matter?

 

18"ADR Wheels

 

so they dont stick out that much, i see from the pic...... what offset?

 

yep and yep. it's the ultimate street wheel for true enthusiasts.
I only consider SSR or Volks, sometimes BBS.

 

I am between BBS RCs ('cause they are true German) and SSRs. The only thing makes me think on BBSs is that the wheel is only comes in 17s

 

.

 

that's my boy Angelo, he always knows what Berk is all about,

back to wheels, enough hijack for today

 

LOL - Yeah I don't know what to do with the roof - I'll either go all black or a bad *** roof graphic

 

I think 45 - I THINK!!

 

yeh, if i get ever get a BBK 17's would be my choice. I just don't like
the wheel gap between the rotor and rim when using factory brakes.

but on the R90's the gap is minimized as the inner spokes are modular
and fills up the gap. kinda like th LM's.

 

Just so I understand, you guys are just talking aesthetics here, right? (How the brakes "look" not how they "stop.") In theory, I'd think more clearance around the rotor/caliper = more air flow = better cooling, up to a point. I never thought of brakes as a fashion statement myself, but I'm not surprised some do.

 

g00d point!!

but they sure l00k KiLLER behind sum open spoke wheels

 

Well, the first statement is not 100% true, but you don't advocate the idea anyways. Second, the brakes are not fashion statement, however those Brembos, and AP Racing BBKs look damn good. Always bling factor, XALFA, always. Anyways, this would be a nice thread if you want to discuss more

 

The stock brakes stop fine when coupled with 12lbs wheels like the
SSR Comps especially for street. I don't have any plans to swap them
out.

Rotors/Calipers are a fashion statement for some (not to me...I don't
care to paint my stock calipers), but when there's a HUGE *** gap
where there shouldn't be, it just looks damn awkward.

It's like love handles hanging from a guy wearing a nice 3pc suit.
you think they look good until you take a closer look.

 

Looks good!

 

Yokohama Advan RG-II's
17x7.5 @ 16lbs

 

MSFIT, those are really, really nice. I always wanted to ask you about them but never got around to it. I know those are pretty expensive wheels, how much did they cost you(if you don't mind me asking ). Thanks.

 

I bought the car with them on already, but they are about $475 a rim.

 

nice!

 

man those are expensive my 18" 16 pound forged 003 were onley $239 a peice

 

 

they are not exactly comparable... hhahaha

rgIIs are about comparable to Volks.. TE37s in that size are about 400 bucks each


by the way MSFIT... LOVE your wheels! wish i can afford them

 

I agree it just amazes me how people throw numbers around as if the quality is the same..

Anyone can make a forged wheel but the level of quality is very different..

A Rays, BBS, OZ, Yokohama are all super high quailty. If you ever get the chance look at the finish and the feel of a high end wheel compared to a low end forged wheel.. More than the price may surprise you.
