^^i think i will do that 5mm spacer

 

Do you think it is so close because you lowered the car, or would it probably be the same if the car was at the stock height? I really like those wheels & tires. I have an 82 GSL also in formula white, and with Potenza GT tires (on the stock 13" X wheels). I would change them in a heartbeat to what you have, if I was sure there would be no rubbing problems. Your ride looks awesome!!

 

It will take care of itself eventually. Looks great though. I figured you would have chosen some wheels with a bit more gold and spokes but you surprised me!!!

are you calling me ghetto LOLOL?!?!!?! haha im glad you aprrove mang!

 

I think it MAY be because i lowered it (but i think im worng on that)...but back to the point....no i don't feel it rubbing at all..its just really close...but it clears

 

Just one more quick question. Did you mount them with studs and lug nuts or did you use lug bolts?

 

New 17mm Lug Studs...the stock ones were to bulky and could not be used with these rims

 

you should put the le's back on.

 

^^lol i appreciate the honesty.....but i paid 5 bills for these rims so they are gonna stay on for a while lol

 

haha, you know I'm a little biased to say the least

 

He shouldn't put the LE's back on. He should give them to me. I'll trade you straight up. My LE's for your LE's. If you aren't going to use them for anything but autocross, then why bother having the pretty set?

 

^^**** i don't blame you the LE's are sexy wheels....im using mine for autoX now

 

It was worth the shot, hahaha.

 

do the le's keep the same class in autox ?

or do they put you in a higher class cause the bigger rim ?

 

i have no idea...im ding autox just bvecaue it looks like fun...i dont know what class ill eb thrown in...i really dont care either....im doing it for my enjoyment

 

thats the way it should, its a blast, and i know youll love it. ask kentetsu!

 

I hate those wheels....


But only because they dont make em that fit my car! They do look great on your car tho, Im probably going to eventually get panas in a similar finish for about 3x the price!

 

nice rims.......... i wish my 7 was white...

 

You might be able to fit 0 offset on the rears.

 

^^^you think so? You don't think they will stick out too much?

 

Those look alot like panasports, which is what im thinking about buying, how much did they cost if you dont mind my asking? im looking to get the panasports custom made for a much wider stance, but the price is gonna kill me. thanks

 

^^thats one of the reasons wy i went with THE konig Rewinds because they DON'T break the bank. i Got them for $500 bucks shipepd to my door (here in the US) from www.jlbmotorsports.com . If you want to buya set, go to that website i just gave you, get thier phone number ans ask for HIKARU. He is very helpful!

 

I just got mine in today from JLB Motorsports as well! The stock lug bolts do work, but I had to use a socket instead of a lug wrench to mount them as it was too thick to fit in the holes. Thats only temporary though since I ordered new lug bolts with these but they were accidentally ommitted in my order. I paid $500 for the rims, $835 total delivered with the new 205/50/15 Ziex tires and the lug bolts. Check out the before and after pics below. I just had her tinted yesterday too, and I think it really brings out those graphite spokes on the wheels. FYI she only has 33k on her, and that is stock suspension. I drove her a few miles down the interstate and then a few more "spirited" sprints on some country highway - no rubbing whatsoever! What do you guys think of her?

 

what do you have as far as spring on your car? I want to get my 7 lower than it is....i love the rims btw

 

On my FB i have Suspension Technique Springs (lowers the car about an inch)....i liek the stance she has. Nice pics DJJJR42!!!
