those of you wit 22's hows the ride,, dont you worry bout you're tranny,,, flats, cracks, bends etc.. out here in NYC no flat roades,, 22's are killas pot holes, metal road plates love those kinda rims, i'm thinkn just go 20's get springs, lower the frame get a body kit..

 

The MOZ's will look FLY!!

 

Just a teaser

 

Is it me or do you need an alignment?

 

thats rear camber friend. from being too low to the ground.

 

Ya that's what I thought. Did you get springs or coilovers? Cuz with my Eibachs and an alignment I didn't get that much camber.

And stop teasing! Lets see some pics! What I see so far looks sick.

 

havent really washed the car yet but heres a photochop of the result



Enjoy!

 

Nice man, looks real good. How about some details? What kind of wheels/what size? What did you do to lower it?

 

if the photo isnt a photoshop those have to be coilovers, no way those are springs on there

 

will tell all when i detail my car.. as for the rims

20'' Work Varianza T1S (Machine Silver Polish)
20x8.5 +35 Fronts 245/35/20
20x10.5 +45 Rears 275/30/20

 

For those of you that change/rotate your own tires, what kind of lug nut breaker bar do you use so that you don't scratch up your lug nuts or rims? Thanks!

 

I bought a medium sized breaker bar and socket from Lowe's. As for not scratching, you just have to be careful as anything can scratch

 

Cant post any attachments but just paid for a set of 20" Lexani's for my max, cost me a whole lot but I know they will look good! Just got to get enough posts so I can put the pic's up when it is all done!

 

Tying to get these BBS wheels. Anyone know of a good source that's competitively priced but ethical?

 

Wowzer man. Good luck getting competitive pricing on those. Everywhere I have seen that even stock them are all the same for price point. Maybe get lucky on Ebay? Or possibly check out a VW forum? I know those guys are crazy for the BBS wheels.

 

nice bbs's.

 

trying to add up posts so i can create a thread, excuse the post whoring =D

 

No problem I'm trying to get mine up also!

 

Yea....me too.

 

yes, check a company called Linea Corsa they make really good bbs LM reps with the steplip and everything.. my husband had a set on his M3..

Looking to have this rim on by tomorrow, 20" x 8.5

 

Not bad! I luv deep dish rims!

 

All done! Will be taking better pics later on this week.

 

I'm looking to buy a set of chrome wheels for the Max and I have two size choices:

18x7.5 45mm offset
18x8.5 25mm offset

I plan on using the stock 245-45R18 RSA's since they're still new. Will the 8.5" wheel be okay with the 25mm offset?

 

The 8.5 is fine but a +25 offset may be beyond flush. My wheels are 9" with a +38 offset.

 

That's a .5118" difference in offset. Your 9" wheels would be .5" wider than mine, so mine would stick out .2618" more if my math is correct.

 

Looks good, what percent tint is on your car? Looking into getting my black S tinted but wasn't sure how dark to get. Living in PA the laws don't allow you to get too dark..

 

Your math is dead on.

 

Thanks,
I got 20%. (you can get a 35%) if you have a black interior it would look darker. If you decide to go any less take in consideration having to get it re-tinted after inspection.

 

Lots of nice wheels... I personally prefer an open spoke silver or chrome.

 

 

had this old set of 18" enk's laying around from my old Acura Rsx so i decided to mount them just for kicks...till i can save up enough for some 22's or 24's or my first choice is get some OEM maxima 19" wheels but i dont want to pay retail for those so it seems like a long shot to get find some...

 

here is the preview of my wheels

(first coat)

 

is that black chrome?

 

no, Krylon Fusion high gloss black. BTW, the 2nd coat filled in the gaps nicely. I plan on another coat or two.

 

nice! looks really shiny, those caps could almost pass for black chrome!

 

Your car looks gigantic next to those dogs, haha. Not bad though, looks pretty good I think.

 

how about some Volk TE-37?

 

as posted above.... first coat:



final coat, ready for the car:
(Macro mode)



I pick up my powder coated wheels either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on my schedule.

 

Is nobody putting wheels on their car.

Come on people, post up some pics.
