Default Got New Wheels AGAIN!!!!!!!

OK just went with the staggered set up this time, the offset isn't all that but its better then before. I went with the Axis Supermesh's now. 8.5 and 9.5. offset are 40 and 45 not all that but i'm happy.

take a look.

my sig shows the old set up. Milano's






And my Favorite.



Please honest opnions.

thx guys

also which do you prefer, milano's or supermesh's

i think the milano's bring more class then sport while the mesh's obviously bring more sport.



thx guys

what wheels did you have in mind?

its just wierd, this is the first time i went with a sporty mesh type wheel. I'm not used to it. i've always done 5 spoke.

Before!!!!!!!!!



after!!!!!!



here a few of my prelude.

i just like the 5 spoke better. But if you guys think this new set up is better, i must agree.

Great choice!. You can never go wrong with mesh wheels. Their always a classic. Now all you have to do is put in a set of rear spacers (12mm should do it) to brings those buried wheels out to the flanges and you'll be set!

i know its annoying, i thought maybe it would be allright, but i'm not happy with the setting, the eibachs set it low so it looks even worse, but i'm happier with the new set up, soon i'll do the spacers, just out of curiousity who makes a 12 mm spacer? i know h&R make 10 and 15 mm, correct me if i'm wrong.


but thx for the compliments.

So who makes these? What size and offset? Both wheels look equally as good IMO, just different styling. Both look badass.

I would do the 15 mm spacers all the way around (with new bolts of course)

That would make your affective offsets:

40mm-15mm = 25mm front
45mm-15mm = 30mm rear

Much better offsets for the Z (probably the offsets Axis should make these rims in, instead of trying to make a "one-size-fits-all" rim)

used the Eibachs, i think they are roughly an inch drop, my fronts are fine, but my rears are a little off, but i got it as close as possible. So if anything usually tire feathering will happen.



thx again for the compliments

SangWL,
I have the same setup as yours but mine is in chrome silver with the same rims and springs.

What did you do about the camber adjustement if anything?

i've got a Alighnment specialist up the street that hooks me up. As you guys know, the fronts you can't adjust camber, so its just the rears, he did he's best, spent 3 hours on it trying to get the best settings, i guess with someone that takes that much time in doing something you get the best results, so i am lucky in that sense, if you can find a specialist that is willing to take the time it is possible to get it pretty close to stock settings with the eibach kit.


Good luck, let me know if you can get it done.

the supermesh looks great and i like the Lude as well when I was 13-15 that was the car i wanted for the longest time but i ended up never getting it but my friend had one for a while, i had an RSX Type S before my Z. I kind of miss the juvenility of hondas, i feel kinda old driving a z but i guess since i am young i should try to be as mature as my car makes me look. Rims look sick, i wonder how a carbon fiber veilside type one kit will look on your black beauty, DOnt get CF for the rear under skirt though, that should be painted. unless its not your taste but by looking at the prelude i thouhgt you might like the lip kit look. THe veilside type one will probably best match those classy rims.

I llike the Supermesh's much better. Good choice. I also agree with the spacer comments. Going 15 all around would definitely make it look way more aggressive. Looks sweet.
