Bling bling. Looks nice. Are they polished?

 

I've had them for about 3 weeks now. Nice rims. You should like them...much nicer than the Mille EVOs.


PS Your car looks sweet!

 

yep "Polished Stainless Face" the new look to chrome. Thanks for the comment...

 

daaaaaamn son, those are hott....maybe its juss me but they look biigger than 18s,...how much were they? ifyou dont mind me askn...and they look kinda gunmetalish...are they?
atw

 

I just used some IBIZ wax on mine. Very easy to keep clean. I also love the fact that the inner part is black so you can't see the dirt. I got mine rebalanced since Tirerack did a lousy job with the wheel weights. Got mine at the very back edge so barely noticable. I also want to replace my center caps...not sure if there any other caps that would fit. They don't seem to have a website either.

 

looks great, but i would be interested in some close up shots. i was also considering these rims, but wasn't sure about the "polished" look. do they look like chrome up close?

 

they are 18's, but i lowered my car with a combination of springs and shocks. see my signature on top..thnaks man... [/B][/QUOTE]


$269 a piece from tirerack

 

here is a close up shot...yeah they are well polished stainless steel face only. the inner part is black and very easy to clean.

 

the tire rack guys tried to tell me that the sumi htr+'s are good tires...in term of longevity, ride quality, and low noise. i know you just got your rims/tires, but do the tires ride "quiet"? thanks.

 

yep these tires are unbelieveable ..they ride smooth like factory. i was expecting a harsh ride, but i went on a long run to Canada this weekend and everyone in my car enjoyed the ride. i would say they worth the $130 they selling them for...oh no noise at all...

 

nor do u

 

I went with 235 as well. Would there have been a problem with 245?

 

right now i still have some room for 245/45's.. i wanted that, but i wasn't certain, since i was doing suspension combinations. so i got 235/40's instead. i don't think you and i would have had any probs using the 245's
.

 

sweeet rims, making me think twice about evos... those houses in your hood are HUGE!!

i wanna go 245/40/18...should i go 245/45?
atw

 

They look a lot better than Evos in person.

 

I'm going 245 next time. I just find the metal edge of the rim is so flush with the tire.

 

how low is your car? are you gonna lower it more? it all depends. It should not rub if you are not too low.

 

im riding w/ progress springs all around...but it looks like eibach sit lower in the front...so i should be ok, rite? 245/40s on Nitto 555s, kloogy siid theyre good...woohooo
atw

 

although i have 235 my tire laps over.

 

Really? What PSI are you running. I'm running 35psi and there is pretty much no overlap at all.

 

i stayed with factory recommendations for my car, 32 PSI all the way around... hot air rises... 35 can increase to 40 and blow your tires away...i like to be safe, besides are you getting a hard ride from 35 PSI?

 

Check your PSI at night as well. I find with the temp drop that you can loose a few psi easily. I would rather be a little high than low. I find cornering a bit better at 35 and no noticable rough ride. I think I am going to drop them to 34 cold. You can go 44psi before any problems.

 

For performance go with the 245/40/18, for a little better ride, go for the 235/40/18.

 

Nice wheels ! I think you would have to chrome a set of EVOS to compare them. The Evo's have the rivets, so you either like them or hate them..... Nice shoes on your whip though !

 

I would like to see a close up of this wheel to see how the black inner part of the wheels looks, and how much do they weigh?

 

I'm going to take close up shots today of the inner part and post them . i'm not sure on the weight, but i do know they are light weight rims, since they are not chrome.

 

Thanks. Yours rims look nice also. I had looked at your rims also, not to disrespect or anything, but i wanna stay away from rims that have revits and fine spokes. I was in an accident last year OCT and this is what happened. I chosen these AT INOX, because they look strong and also nice.


these are konig tantrums

 

Deven- damn bro... Your car looks sweet. Nice job!

 

Email oscar at tirerack. He got the weight for me but I lost the email. 28lbs I believe.

 

28lbs i think I will go with gt1's now

 

Same reason I bought them. Don't like the rivets and the spokes are bigger on the INOX. They seem strong. Plus the INOX are a new and orginal while the EVOs have been done time and time again. Saw a GEO metro with the EVOs!

 

you got pics of your rims?

 

blubyu2k2 here is a close up shot. hope you like it.

 

I think I'm going to check out some shops here in chicago to look at these rims in person, since pics never really do the justice for that...but I like how it looks

 

Well on the subject of wheels............
I prefer gun metal-

 

I personally don't like gun metal rims. Not bad though....

 

Yeah, they're light and come in a 17x8in sizing, so they'll suit my needs.

 

18's for me and the INOX look better. If I need light rims it would only be for the race track and I would probably go 16's.
