MB Motorsports "Weapon" 17x7 wheels in bronze, and some Fuzion ZRi Z rated tires to match :grinyes:

I can tell by the background that you live in FL; I feel like I've been in that neighborhood before.

I agree, but truth be told, I like the stockers better. You need to lower that fucking SUV in disguise! ;)

Nice! I think 17" are a real good size on how cars....but not if your rim is going to have lip on it. You should have bumped it up to 18", but still it looks nice. I like that color too. Both on the car and the color of the rim.

Whoa! How are the Fuzions? I've been looking into them for a while.. good bang for the $$$ so far? I also agree with lowering it, lol it's still a beauty though :)

I think that looks fuckin sweet, kinda reminds me of Buschurs car a little bit because he had a dark color (purple) like that with some bronze wheels. I also agree that you need lower that 4x4.

Fuzions are a nice choice, I absolutly loved mine on the Talon. I bought some for the Firebird here recently too. Oh man the car sticks to the road so much better than ever before it seems like. It rides awesome too.
I'm liking the new wheels there, Clipsekid.

Thanks guys!. Believe me, I know I need a drop real bad, but just like my turbo upgrade - it ain't happeneing ANY time soon. If you guys knew my parents, you would understand. The only way I was able to pull this off was by saying that the bent rim was a saftey issue on highway speeds lol. Even though it is was true, it wasn't too bad.
As for the Fuzions, I wasn't originally getting new tires, but when I had the wheels mounted on the old tires (only about 7k miles old), the ride was all choppy and bouncy and felt like something wasn't balanced or tightened correctly. So, brought it back to the shop, and they said the tires weren't "rounded out" anymore, so bang, I upgraded. So far they feel ok, haven't done anything crazy yet cause I don't wanna scratch the wheels! hah.

Ya, but at the time of ordering the wheels, I wasn't planning on getting new tires, so I was gonna stay with the stock wheel size tire.

I think it looks good. I'm especially digging the color combo. I would have went a little bigger, but still looks nice. Good choice.

Kinda OT from my own thread, given the occasion, my friend Brian and I went and did a nice photoshoot at a park nearby. I got my wheels/tires, and he just got his mint 99 gsx. Enjoy : http://filewire.com/gal.php?id=27de7dc4015ee08b0acfed

I like the color combo as well...definatly looks good....but definatly needs a small drop....just a 1 inch would be good....come up with a reason to replace your shocks...say they are shot and that you have to replace the springs too....but congrats on the new wheels....

I might be ditching my lowering springs in favor of coil-overs if you are interested, only thing is its a 2.5" drop

Both of those cars are amazing looking. Is it just me, or do 17s look really small on 2gb's?

Yes any thing under 18 is too small for 2g, I have 18 before on my rs, but that kinda heavy. Now im still debate between 17 or 18 for my talon, I want speed and look.

My rims weigh a little more than the rubber around them :)
