They look nice dude. I have the same car (diff colour), but IMHO the standard 16's on the EI look brilliant, dunno why but I love em, maybe i'm getting old.

i like the stock rims too but i just wanted something else. A little disorder i have.. need new stuff every now and then :nuts:

look alright....congrads....

just needs lowering....:D

Is it just me or do they look very similar to ralliart wheels?

Hi,
What size 'goodyear' / DUNLOP Lemans tyres did you get for the 8 inch rims? and if its ok, what sort of price did you pay?
Am looking to put some mags on mine and not sure yet which is the 'sweet' spot for tyre pricing in the 17 inch range. e.g. the best price and brand range in the 15's seems to be for 205/65 sizes

ta

235/45 would be the most cost effective to put onto an 8 inch room as its the most popular.
For a 7 inch rim i'd say 225/50 (i think thats it) is the most popular.

they're 253/45 R17Z

Got the wheels, tires, lock nuts, balance anf fit, and a wheel alignment for $1500.

look alright....congrads....

just needs lowering....:D

Yeah i know... like i said... one step closer to a nice ride

Nice wheels.

I like the Gold bits (bolts).
Now you need to lower it (as said b4) and paint your brake callipers gold (or silver) to match in with the rims. :cool:

gold looks good... i'll probably go silver tho...

(and a corection.. dunlop tyres not goodyear.. apparently i can't read good) :nuts:

as for lowered, well need to save some cash up again now...

well finally got the damn thing lowered (only got it done today so once the springs settle in it'll be just that little bit lower again) ... :D

Before :-
2547325474

After :-
2547525476

I like those rims, sexy but simple and not overly blingy. ride height looks good..what springs did you use?

cheers... i got pedders on there..

Wondered why the sidewall graphics on your Dunlops look a lot like my Falken FK452's. They are related companies.
