I wish!

No, I just like finding and reposting wheel pr0n. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm looking at getting the Bola B1 17x7.5 +42 and I really don't want to run spacers if I don't have to. I'll use Eibach springs and run a 235/45 tire. Do yo think this combination will be flush without spacers or am I pretty much screwed?

It's close but I think 35 is flush. I'm at 42 and about 1/2 shy of the fender

New Proline Wheels

I recently installed these 17 inch Proline wheels, which are from Germany.

I went with Continental Extreme Contact DWS-06 Ultra High Performance tires (225-45-17)....nice and sticky!

Proline PXF in matte grey. You may have already known this, but those wheels are comparable to the Sparco Assetto Gara, Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, and Cruze Eco Wheels in terms of weight savings. Nice choice!

Yes...
Exactly!
Thanks

I want these Method MR501 wheels so bad! I'll have to buy adapters but I want 25mm of spacing anyhow. I just cant seem to find them in black in a 17 inch rim.

 

[TheGreenDragon]

Motegi Racing had a wheel awhile back called the MR119 Rally Cross S. It looked very similar and came in a 5x105 PCD. You might be able to find a set on e-bay or craigslist if you're lucky. Assuming, of course, you don't mind a wheel that looks similar but is different.

EDIT: Then again, perhaps it wasn't that they made a 5x105 PCD, but a blank PCD that could be drilled out to your specifications. I see quite a few blanks for sale on e-bay, but no 5x105.

I knew the green dragon would have some input, thanks man. I hadn't seen that one. Im in need of new tires and really want a rally style rim to put new rubber on. I'll keep looking but Im probably going to have to get some adapters, curse you GM!

New Rims and Tires

Hey Guys!

Finally got some new tires and rims on my Sonic. When I bought her last month she still had the OEM 15" rims and whoever owned it before me plastidipped them....the wrong way. You'll see in a second. The new rims are 16's and I went with Falken ZIEX ZE950 A/S performance tires. They're 205/55R16. They have so much more to them than the crap winter tires that were on previously. I'm able to take turns a bit faster, they respond better and the ride is much smoother. Enjoy the photos!

Oh! I also just added the Hawaiian islands decal the other day. Figured since I just came from Hawaii, have a gigantic Hawaiian sleeve and chest piece tattoo that the Sonic should naturally have her own ink.

I like the chrome inlay around the black rims. Not A fan of all black rims, however this I can bare.

Now, white-letter those Falkens and make em' racin' wheels
Like the Hawaiian islands decal opcorn:

Yeah I'm the same way, all black, especially on a black car just looks odd. I was trying to find an accent color, I was thinking green or purple. But I found those and liked them, plus they were a decent price.

As far as whiting out the lettering how would I go about doing that? Just using a tiny paint brush and white paint? Not too sure how to go about doing that.

My next step is to replace the rear drums because they are rusted and ugly, which means they're old and I want to find some good looking ones, along with some nicer breaks in the front, just not sure where to look yet. I've been scrounging the forum but I haven't found anything helpful yet.

Sharpie paint markers!! in the craft section at Wally World. Yeah, I'm cheap.
Use a medium point marker for best results.

The letters are raised on your tire. I didn't even take my tire off to do mine.

Just grab a chair and TAKE YOUR TIME filling in the letters. All I did was the name of the tires for starters. If you go outside the lines a bit it really isn't that noticeable. Trust me on this

Oil-based markers will last longer than water-based. It's been about a month or so and I haven't had to touch my tires up, yet :banana:

Good to know thanks! I'll post some more pics when I finish it.

United Kingdom Ebay. It took a while to find a set like the ones I wanted in the 5x105 bolt pattern. So you have to do a lot of searching and have a lot of patience. Took me about 4 months to find them, get a mail forwarding company to work with me, and then ship them over the pond.

I seen these there awesome and pricey too .....

 

[SoCalRs]

Well I did it pulled the trigger on XXR 551 tuner style wheels auto anything had 20 percent off turbo Tuesday sale 119 per wheel not bad I been wanting to upgrade for a while but the wheels I wanted too much money such as volks racing te37 and vauxhaul facelift each of those went for at least 800 per wheel !!! . I seen some cars in images on Google with the XXR and they looked pretty sick so I hope I can join the stance disease with these wheels ..... They were 17x8.25 / 35 mm offset 6.0" backspace 5x100 but I am going to have them redrilled to 5x105 be about 100 bucks local shop to do it they have spacers 5x105 to 5x100 but I don't trust that maybe I'm wrong never used a spacer before .....
