Just a change, had my works since 04 and a friend had these in storage talked him into selling. Still not sure which set I like better

 

A teaser shot I took of the Z with my Super laps earlier this week and the shortblock I'm throwing in her on my rebuild

 

A gorgeous set of Rays G25 in a Prism Dark Silver going to one lucky customer.

 

Nice wheels. Wrong thread.

 

 

My volks are put away for a long winter nap

Saw this the other day

 

That pic made me sad and happy at the same time

 

1) What difference does it make? You can't repair it.

2) How do we know for sure it's a genuine Volks wheel. It's so mangled up.

Yeah I hate the real wheel band Waggoner people. Either way the wheel is ****ing trash. That wheel did not save any body's life

 

i have to disagree. there is a HUGE difference between bent and shatter. when bent, the object absorb most if not all of the force, shatter means the force was far greater than said object can absorb and there for the remaining force is passed on.

think of it this way, force is 4, wheel stregth is 5. 4 will bent the wheel but still leave it intact. now lets say force is still 4, wheel strength is 3, the wheel shatters, and the rest of the force moves onto the next item in its travel.

for my gun enthusiast, would you rather have a bullet bend the metal plate in from of you, or shatter it completely?

long story should, when its bent, it stops the momentum/force its hurl at it. when it shatters, it only slows it down.

 

Either way the car will take the blast before the person

 

So what ive gathered from researching is 9.5/10.5 +12 on 245/40/18 & 265/40/18 will be nice and flush with roll in the rear and dropped around 1-1.5" correct? Not trying to run excessive camber or stretch. Can I get a confirmation?

 

I think a +22 would be more flush. +12 may poke out a little

18x10.5 +22^ i dont like the look of the rear w/ +22 so i added a spacer.
