What has ash7 been up to lately? Pre-wheel sneak peek:

[ash7]

RE-[updated] Ash7 has been busy fixing up and making sweet love to this piece of junk. He has also ordered new wheels for it - which is kinda the point of this thread. BRB next week for new pixors. These pictures are courtesy of Domicile.

I do have to say that this looks good overall. :goodjob:

[LIKEG6]

Nice pics. I need that camera he was using.

Wheres my pics though? :sniffle:

[Fox351]

Not a fan of the car as a whole but the rivets and/or screws really sink it. Not an official wheel guy but glad to see your getting new ones. But good looking engine.

[Bacon]

Typical 240....heard together by Home Depot.

Car looks good. Not too fond of those wheels but still the car makes up for that.

[Black4DrEK]

Not bad.

[jdm eg6]

looks good except for the wheels

[-EnVus-]

The integra you had was nicer

[Catnip]

I guess it's cool looking if you like JDM cock.

... in your mouth.


And by that I mean to say the green integra was perfection <3

[d-man478]

i dig it.

[Genji-Sama]

Definitely an upgrade over ur teg, those wheels gotta go tho :goodjob:

The integra was the result of me working on it constantly for two years - never was a big fan of it in the first place.

I appreciate it bro, and i agree. The wheels aren't the prettiest right now, but it is worth noting that these wheels are a beyond rare made-to-order 3 piece wheel from Konig called the Tantrum 2. Try to find some pictures of them on the intrawebz. Go ahead, i'll wait. ;)

Google found pics of the exact same wheel on your car first try.

That being said, I don't mind them that much. It's a nice change to all the other 240s with xxr's or the same old volks or works.

[DoriDori]

Really like it! Where's details of your motor setup? Give up some rolling pics!

[alpine_aw11]

I don't see anything wrong with those wheels, the fitment is perfect and imo they flow with the overall look. I like the car as is.

Could you PM me a link to that picture, please?:) If you're talking about the pictures of the set the guy with the Mini Cooper was trying to sell 5 years ago, i've already seen those.

You implied that no one could find any pictures online because they were so rare. I found pics no problem. That's all I'm saying.

I'm not implying anything, that's what i specifically said. :goodjob: I haven't been able to find pictures of wheels like these on a car except for one instance (previously mentioned.) If you could do the search again and please send me the pictures or perhaps tell me the search terms that you used, i'd greatly appreciate it bro. :) Not trying to start any drama, i've just been trying to track these things down. I've come up with bits and pieces of information, but no decent pictures.

[six7teen]

purple top FTW! :D car is lookin nice bro

[jdm eg6]

konig dont make those wheels anymore cuz i check in their website and no results for tantrum 2

[SoLJames95]

:dunno: thats how i feel.

If they're that rare keep them or sell them to a wheel junkie but whatever you do I hope this next set is a bit more agressive. I'm all for the piece-meal drift look (i have a POS 240 too) but if youre gonna do it right you need ridiculously sized, negative offset wheels ha ha

The plan for these wheels is to have them reworked by Rotiform into something more suited for what you're talking about here. I acquired these from a good friend of mine off of his Z32, which is why the fitment is somewhat askew on my application - they would fit at lot better if my 240 had stock body lines and lacked the over fenders up front...

As for the new wheels that just arrived at my office - stand by for results. :D

[NergB18c5]

Guessing you don't have an alibi cause damn that ugly looks like 2001 and they want those wheels back

[six7teen]

dang, sorry bro..









you are the second person i put in the red tonight... :-/

[six7teen]

cant wait to see the new wheels ON the car jon :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

Pretty big change.. Both cars are nice. It all just depends on what you are into I guess. 240 will be a lot more fun.

Yes sir, and it definitely is a lot of fun. :) Just sometimes confusing for an old Honda guy like me.

They have definitely come in handy! :)

[Sinfix_15]

Engine bay is sexy

[Genji-Sama]

POST PICS OF NEW WHEELS,pls!!!! :goodjob:

[ash7]

-jonathan

possibly? lol..

[ash7]

possibly? lol..

yeah, most likely not because:

1) I'm lazy
2) camera is a bit under the weather
3) Only reason i'd take them is for IA posting.... which is close to pointless.

So, unless someone else wants to, it won't happen.

valid points

[allout13]

I actually really like the konigs. :dunno:

I'll be looking forward to seeing how they look on the car after you have rotiform rework them. :goodjob:

[Sinfix_15]

saw you rolling down the highway today, was going opposite direction so only got a glimpse. Car looked good.

[Drummerboy]

Why'd you take the front bumper off? Mad tyte drift session?

[ash7]

added a couple new pictures for S&Gs.
