New wheels are on!!

I think I will put some wood and sheets over my turbines and use them for end tables or something. I still have some good rubber on them too.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I was always hesitant about spending the money for new wheels, but man they change the car so much for the better. I get a lot more looks now than before .

Joe - Wheels definitely helped your car out a lot too. But then again, the only thing really worse than the turbines may be the ten hole wheels. Few cars can look good with those on.

hey man your car looks great!!

Do you still have the quad shocks on? I so want to put 245's on my car but i still havent been convinced to do so instead of the 225's i have now. What are the main problems that can happen with a bit of rubbing?

Thanks,
Nick

You're car looks a LOT better I'm actually planning on getting some of the same rims, if you don't mind telling, how much were they and from where? (Although, because my car's lowered so much, I don't think 17's will fit.) Thanks, Keith

I am running the quad shocks with no problems. It is close, but I haven't rubbed in the back once. With people and more weight in the back, I may run into some rubbing, but it doesn't look like that big of a deal.

The only time the front rubs is when turning at full lock and going over a curb, like pulling into my driveway. On a flat surface I have been able to turn completely without any problems.


I got the wheels
here . They were by far the cheapest place I could find and the quality looks to be fine. You can check prices and shipping on their website. The only problem I had was they only sent three center caps, but I called and the fourth is supposed to be on its way.

Oh, as a side note, just remember....This company I bought them from said they manufacture them with an extra 18 mm of offset to alleviate the clearance problems on the front with 17 x 9 wheels. I know I have said this before, but I don't want someone buying 17 x 9 wheels from somewhere else and thinking they will fit their car since they did on mine. They may or may not, but I just wanted to be clear about what I had on my car.
