update:

Rims and tires still need to be ordered...

has anyone ever used wheelmax.com?? they seem to be the only place that carries the Nex-O rims I am looking at... ?? thx!

 

I used wheelmax for my 18's I bought. Just be sure your getting the offset you want. I wanted 40-45mm offset and the guy swore up and down the wheels he was selling me were a 42. Well, when I got them, they were 35 mm offset. I was pissed because I mounted one tire to see how it was going to look and then realized they were not 42's. Once you mount a tire on them, you own em.

Factory offset is 45mm. Stay as close to that as possible. The 35's stick way out and increase the track of the car, but it had tons of torque steer after and it beats on the wheel bearings too. Then there are caliper clearance issues, so do your homework before you order.......good luck and post some pic's when its done.

 

Just wait til you install your sway bars. You'll about **** yourself at how much better it handles corners. Have fun!!

 

rims... hardest decision ever... haha...

Black Rims

Silver Rims

I should make this a poll... haha... what do you guys think... silver or black with silver lip?? it's for an E. Blue car... I kind of like the black myself because I Have tinted windows and it's different... but still sporty to me... the Nex-O rims I wanted are out of stock, it'll take months to get, and they have a 35mm offset (bad bearings! bad I say!)... these two have a 40mm offset and look sporty to me...

I value the input (I'll probably put the blacks on... but... haha)
E.blue with similar black rims

 

which sway bars did you get and how much were they just curious so that when i do my shopping soon i no prices on stuff before i jump on them at other places

 

I dropped $170 (shipped) for front "cheap" sways and rears... and rear strut tension bars too with rubber bushings...

Speed and Power Development is who I used. James (Jimmy) did a great job, he sent them out within a matter of days. PM if you want his email address or web info. His price on S3 coilovers was a little higher than I wanted to pay... but the sways were a good price. Please note that these are NOT the adjustable rear sway bars... 26mm frnt and 19mm rear (non-adjustable)...

also... the black rims mentioned above... on back order until May!!!! argh!!! what do you think about the silvers!!! haha...

 

i like them both but i lean more to the black , my thing is i want a rim with a nice size lip to them and i cant find one that i really like what was the price on coilovers.. thanks for the info
