http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/pizzaface01/IMG_0260.jpg

Just threw them on really quick before i had to go to work... I need to lower the back for sure. I want to roll the fenders and drop the car another inch all the way around though.

[Revmaynard]

Nice, did those ground controls inspire you to upgrade other things? Lol

LMK if you sell the HX's!!!! I was looking for some before my LS's.

lol yea, the GC's just made me go buy everything in my sight... which drained my bank account. :goodjob:

and the HX's are long gone... well, not really, they're just my dad's. bought them from him a long ass time ago for dirt cheap, and he said if i ever got another set of wheels, that he wants me to sell him back the HX's, so i did.

[Revmaynard]

Damn, too bad! Oh well, I like how those look, even better than the other Enkei's. The others were a lot bigger.

[Papa_Smurf]

i'll post a pic later when i semi slammed it w/ the hx's... looked DOPE.

i'ma miss em... :(

thanks man! i can't wait to drop the car some more and roll the fenders. it's just begging to be dropped, and i can just see how much better it's going to look :D

[Revmaynard]

Are they 15's? I'm sitting high as all hell on my LS's right now.

[jfrolang]

Your car looks fine, I recommend not lowering it further. maybe a little bit in the back.

Time for a new signature too.

[Revmaynard]

Hey Alan what time you gonna get to the V?

[Andy_013]

:rolleyes: I wonder where he got the idea to buy rpf-1 from...

My car is too high, I have to get coilover next month. Are you using any wheels locks on them?

[Papa_Smurf]

haha, i've always liked those wheels... lol and i told you when you bought those 16's that i was pissed cause i wanted them! haha

preciate it.

my car is too high in the back, but them ****s are scraping in the back as it is :(. i gotta do something about that REALLY quick...

uhh... nah, but i will be getting some very soon, you best believe that :goodjob:

[Papa_Smurf]

Hey Alan what time you gonna get to the V?

uhh... leaving around 6:30, so i will be there @ 7, maybe a little early. I like to park w/ all the other EF'ers, but it's been kinda hard the last few times!

[Revmaynard]

Yea, precisely why I asked, I want to park the EE near the EF's since we're cousins!:cheers: lol

[Papa_Smurf]

haha, word man.

i've always parked right on the other side of the "small" wall, like where the parking lot dips down... it's kinda hard to explain... but if you get there and i'm allready there, when you pull in and go under the V and get to the lot, it's the first row on ur right.

Yea, I brought the wagon out the month before last and parked next to Bigdare and I think you were on the otherside and then your dad.

Looks fine to me at that height. I guess cuz I dont like a car thats to low, LOVE the wheels.

[Dirty Octopus™]

Ahhhhh!!! Now i see what Darryl was talkin bout!
lookin' good bro! :goodjob:

i wish you believed in slamming cuz your car would be cosmetically unparalled for a USDM front EF :D

[Sammich]

real hotness

[Papa_Smurf]

haha, well i'm having sum rubbing issues in the rear right now which is why it is so high... if i could find a set of really stiff coil's and sum nice struts then i might slam it.

but i plan on rolling the fenders here in a few days and seeing if i can get rid of the rubbing issues. right now it's just a HASSLE to drive on :(

lol alright then, will stop by and say whats up when you get there.

the way things are looking, the hatch might have the Hx's back on there, unless i can find sum time on wednesday to work on the fenders :(

[uproot]

Looks good man! Always liked those wheels... ill see whats up for tomorrow and i'll let u know later tonight. Need to get those fenders rolled :goodjob: and check out my new house

[Papa_Smurf]

yea, i REALLY need to roll the fenders... let me know whats going on tomorrow. like, i have to go to an opera @ 5 (dont ask), but i'll be awake pretty damn early, like 9am.

i plan on putting the hx's back on for the time being because the ride is just rediculous. so LMK asap wuts going on.

i really wanna see ur house too homie! BIG congrats on that BTW!!!!!

[mushroom_toy]

Alan youre a hoe....because you have pimp wheels. XD haha.

[Papa_Smurf]

haha.

pimp wheels are comming off the car tomorrow untill i can find time to properly roll the fenders.

might be @ the V in the old HX's... :(

[jfrolang]

roll to the V with your pimp shoes on so you can look badass. Then take them off the next day. You think chicks wear high heels because they feel good? **** no, they wear them because they look good.

[Andy_013]

roll to the v with the rpf-1 on so we can take a few pictures together.

[Papa_Smurf]

well, i'll throw them back on thursday, but i have to drive highway miles today, like more than the 5 miles hwy to the V, and i dont feel comfortable w/ them shiits much over 60.

[SlamminCRX]

dang

car looks dope!!!!

as far as the height, i would consider dropping it a little in the back...still looks clean either way

[Papa_Smurf]

i believe i might have fixed the rubbing issue. going to test it out on sum roads round here.

still need 2 tires badly though :(

[Revmaynard]

What size? I might have two 'eh' tires I'll give you once I get my new ones on.

[mocha latte cupcake]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah! awesome man thats great! they look so so good!

[Papa_Smurf]

205/40/15 i think.... i havn't looked into it too much, it's either 40 or 50...

doesn't really matter. they need to be balanced and tires in the quickness, so i'll probably handle that within a week or two. preciate it though :goodjob:


awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah! awesome man thats great! they look so so good!

preciate it man! i really want to put them on my dad's black EF hatch, because i know they would look SO hott on there, but he's probably never give them back! haha

i think i've gotten rid of my rubbing issue in the rear, so a slight drop in the rear will be comming shortly :D

[Revmaynard]

[Papa_Smurf]

http://a675.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/99/l_d4bee756e937072e8ad042fd587da3da.jpg

I think the S2k center cap will work or any center cap that is 73 mm
centercaps.net (http://www.centercaps.net/caps/listing.php?make=35)

[Papa_Smurf]

i'm assuming those prices are for a set of 4...

[Papa_Smurf]

those lugnuts ftl!!!!!!

hey, it's all i had layin around :gay:

[Andy_013]

i'm assuming those prices are for a set of 4...
its for one


ebay has some the 2 3/4", buy the and use some glue the hold it. (I used a little glue to hold it from spinning)

[jfrolang]

You don't need no stinkin center caps.

[Papa_Smurf]

i tryed to put sum 2 and 3/4 in there.... those were the acura center caps and they didn't fit...:???:

[bigdare23]

HONDA CENTER CAPS FTL


if you do that, you're ghey!!! :gay:


{honda center caps goes on honda wheels :rolleyes: }



p.s. Jermaine you look gay as hell behind Alan's car.

[Papa_Smurf]

p.s. Jermaine you look gay as hell behind Alan's car.

atleast he's still faster, or he claims to be....:blah:

[StraightSix]

I think you're still going to have to roll you fenders, Alan.

The problem is the tires. 205/50/15s are really too big for our cars. The better size is a 195/50/15. I was forced into putting 205s on my car a couple of months ago, and have since rolled the fenders to solve some rubbing issues, and my car is at stock height.

[Papa_Smurf]

wow, thats.... rediculous @ u being @ stock ride heigth...

i could have sworn my kuhmo's on the hx's were 205's, but i guess it wasn't that big of a deal cuz they were 14's instead of 15's...

no rubbing in the front as of yet, and it's pretty low in the front... i just had sum rubbing issues in the rear, but i've just pushed the "lip" thats on the inside of the quarter panel, and it hasn't rubbed yet, so i think i've solved that problem (or so i think)

I'm running 195-55-15 and they're great so far at stock. We'll see how that goes once I lower it.

[StraightSix]

195/55/15 might be fine. I haven't done the math on the rolling diameter of the tire. The 195/55/15 was the original equipment size for ITR, iirc.

My problems could stem from the wheels I have on my car. Stupid, polished, old Eagle Alloys. YMMV?

[KevinT707]

Only gayfers roll on 195s.

Anywho, you should lemme borrow them Enkeis !

[jfrolang]

195/50-15 matches the stock tire size. 195/55-15 is a big tire, it's a larger overall diameter than 205/50-15, with less tread width. 205/50-15 is the way to go.

[Papa_Smurf]

you can have em if you want. :yes:

[bigdare23]

how about you buy some :tongue1:

[sakasaku]

buying things is for losers!!!...lol

[thinkskater]

mmm looks good man.
