THANKS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

you punk ass, you were the one who sold the stock rims/tires on eBay for $400 weren't you! :hehe: anyways, I like rim 3 the best, although I think 7 spokes looks nicest on our cars.

So you mean Rim4, cuz 4 is just the 6 spoke model.

But anyways, I like Rim 5 pretty good, probably what Im goinna use, its kinda different...

ummm...If I was you I wouldn't pick any of them...but since I'm not you I would pick either 3 or 4

you dont like the D6000 of RH...think about that one
Out of your choices, I think 3 and 5 looks the best

My brother wants to sell the Rim 5, that's the DTM right, he has like 5000 miles on it wrapped in 205-40-17...let me know if you need that... napakapa@hotmail.com

i say 3,4, or 5. I'm leaning more towards #5 cause those look the cleanest probably pretty light also. but i agree with ty423, i wouldn't pick any of them but this is what you gave us to pick, so who am i to talk lol

btw, if you get #3 get rid of that nipple cap and get a flat silver one somewhere...if you get 4, make sure you don't get white because thats atomicfrog's color, i'm pretty sure he doesn't want anyone copying him lol plus he already wants to kick my ass so dont put yourself in line behind me lol :D

Don't let them hate on you. You picked som pretty good rims out. I'd go with #6 b/c you have a silver car and that looks like the gunmetal color and would look good on it. Shake them haters off!

How bout this one?

:coolguy: :coolguy:

I would seriously go with #6. I mean with the polished lip and all, would make you car look more like a BMW. Just my 2 cents. I just know how to make a car look good. Some of those other choices seem to look better on a civic or something. Keep the luxury look.

I gotta agree #6 no doubt.

#6 :D

I would choose....um.....ok, so where are the other choices?? :D :D :D
I agree with Napakapa..the D6000 might look pretty cool

I swear, I was the first to have Motegi's and everyone starting copying me!!! Too much is happening in #6,7 .. but 3 is very nice .. 4 is good too, but ya .. dont get WHITE :flash:

:stormzap: I strikeeh thy AF curse on thy Nismoboy!!!

i like #5... they mite not look good there but when they are on the car they look nice
if not #5... go with #3... #4 is played out and #6 doesnt look as good as the Racing Harts so u know.....

I can give you number 5 is different, but I like it more classic got a couple of close up pics of mine! :)

It fits great when it is 18" just to the edge of the car :)

Thanx a lot! :)

My are VERY easy to keep clean, I can almost change breaks without taking the wheel off!! ;) :frog:

They are 215/35 x 18 and the car is lowered between 100-110mm with adjustable INTRAX racing set up.

VERY hard, but goes like a dream thru corners!! :flash:

That can't be correct. That's like 6 inches!

100-110 mm!!! That's nuts lol :) .. but it looks beuteeful!

With white rims, if you clean em once a week that's all ya need :). You don't want them to get dirty and yellowish looking. I wash my car each week, so the rims always look nice. All you people who said you dont like white because they get dirty are lazy to clean em!! :)

I'm not hating but...I really don't believe you are dropped 4 inches on some 18's. Unless your measurements are different than mine. If it was 4 inches, you'd be on the ground.

Hmmmmmm don't know how to convince you, but I'm telling you the truth! :) There is no difference on putting 17's or 18's on you car! It is only a question of the profile and the (think its called) "turn in" on the rims! :)

I have 5mm 0,197 inches from my rear tyre to the body of the car. But it fits right up..... We where two people and fully packed from Denmark to France without any problems.

The front is even smaller problem though it cant move more than.......... well it can't move at all!! :D hi hi

hi hi OK, but it could be coooool to have rims that glowed in the dark when they where reflected with light from other cars! :) Like reflexes! :)

Allright, I believe you. I was thinking about using the lowest setting on the Teins, but I see you have gone lower than that. How does it ride. I know its gotta be harsh on potholes and so-forth, but what about just little bumps in the road...do you bottom out a lot?

:) To completely shock you, I can inform you that it is still possible to go about 80mm = 3,15 inches lower…. NOT that I can do it with this car but the shocks are able to go 3,15 inches lower than they already are! :) They cost about 3000-3250 USD here in Denmark.

When you get used to it, then it is actually very or maybe not very comfortable but you can live with it. It is though VERY important that you have tires with VERY low profile or else it will be like riding a rubber ball because it will absorb in the tyre instead of the shocks because they are so hard…. NOT a good effect!!*LOL*

When you get the right set up, then it is as you are driving a racecar!! You can feel everything; you can drive it to the edge without pushing it over the limit. It makes the car so much easier to control. It breaks much faster because the front doesn’t go down and you can actually THROW it into corners and feel how it drives just like a big go-kart!!*LOL*

But when I have been driving with the racing suspension from April-November then it is REALLY LOVELY to get the stock set up and my 15” winter rims on!! :)

I thought you want your tires to absorb most of the impact.

Yep, but if your tires are fx. 65 in profile, then it is like sitting on four rubber balls, the car keeps jumping after you have passed a whole in the road, but when you have fx a 35 profile, then it doesn't jump at all and it keeps good contact and steering response all the time.

hmmmm just read your other reply again... what do you mean with "bottom out"? :) just curious have to learn all these technical expressions! ;)

OH ok, well I'll be using some 205/40's. So do you bottom out? Do you have a very stiff bounce that makes you bob your head when riding down the road. I've seen some slammed civics with heads bobbing up and down.:lol2:

I guess it is when you have no spring travel and when you go over a bump, it feels as if you hit the ground b/c there is no room for the spring to bounce. I think I am describing 'bottoming out".
