Off to get rims/tires

Motegi's ( I know) and I'm going to flip a coin between some KDW's or Eagle GT's

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

flipped the coin and the coin said it would be 2-3 days for KDW's...

So Eagle GT's it is

post pics of fitment with new wheels bro...

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

when I get them actually on the car tomorrow it will happen first thing.

Apparently it's a 24 hour waitlist to get Eagle GT's...still better than the 2-3 day waitlist for KDW's

Waitlist?!?! I dont know whos jackin u around but only time i wait for tires is about 2 or 3 days from tirerack.com. Whats the weight on the wheels? Gonna be tracked? I know a lot of people have em but rpf1's would have made a good track wheel and theres a couple sets in the marketplace for probably less than u r about to spend

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

I spent 440 on the wheels out the door, and the tires are going to be ~125 a piece out the door. thats all 4 at 18X8.....forgot the offsets.... and my original rims are going to be the track set till I can pick up some 16/17 inch rpf1's

ZKansasZ

iTrader: (10)

so the total price is 940 for a set of 18 wheels with tires?

I thought with 1k you can get a better set of wheels, no?

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

yea for 1,000 I could get some better wheels with no rubber on them... and if I go to get a track set I'm not getting anything bigger than a 17 with widths beings 9 or up. So that means I have to buy tires again anyways.

CORNELL

Should have went ahead with the rpf1 17x10 +18 all around with 275/40 all around and a spacer in the rear would be great. Tirerack has sumitomo htrz in that size for less than $100 shipped

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

well oops then...new wheels on the car already...gonna wait for some sun (someday) and get it out for pics also due to the fact that I had the rip-off 19's with tires, I now have 4 19" tires with ~30% tread life all around. Sell all four for 100$ even if anybody wants them?

marcuz

iTrader: (8)

Well what can you do bro...plans sound good...just shoot them pics when you gots some time...hopefully I can get rid of a set and I can order my new set to be in feb...can't wait

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

anyone got a set of +10 or +15 spacers sitting around?

Don't know if they even make them, but I could use a set for the fronts

or for that matter if someone has one on their car I can borrow to check fitment that'd be awesome

...don't worry, I'd do the work, and meet you where ever.

CORNELL

iTrader: (3)

what sizes are those tires? shoot me the specs i might be interested

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

too lazy to get them right now, I'll get it tomorrow though.

350junkie

iTrader: (5)

so the tires are 3X 245/35/ZR19 Achilles ATR Sports

and one 255/35/ZR19 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 RS

The dunlop has significantly more tread than the other three from a unfixable flat

But then again thats from the word of the guy who lied about the rims being fixable.
