Check out my new wheels! :)

Here are my new wheels I got from the group deal forum for the HP Racing wheels. They were a great price and they look wonderful. Here are some pictures of them on my newly waxed car. The centercaps do not fit, the dealer said I need 5mm wheel spacers for them to fit. And yes I know I need to get it dropped!

Holy wheel gap! They look nice, small, but nice. I know that they are 18's, they just look small to me.

looks very nice. good choice, btw. the polished lip is the way to go. that is one of my favorite types of wheel -one with a deep lip. niiiicccccce. the mesh spokes are nice looking on that body style. it works.




oh. drop the car.

after that you don't need any more, IMO.

Haha I have like a 5 or 6 finger wheel gap! Haha, wheel discount tire told me they do not work on wheels with wheel spacers so I have to scrap that idea. He said I would also have to get NISMO studs which are 8 bucks a piece! $160 plus spacers!

its actually better to get the rims first, cause then you know how much of a drop you'll need to make it look good :P

Its better to get the tires first and then get the wheels to see if they will fit

Eh.....I think it will look better when you lower it, but right now, that deep lip really makes it look weird.

The deep lip makes it awsome, when it rolls by it is so sweet, yes I know I need to drop it. I have the AGX ajustable struts already, just need springs.

ya the center caps, I got them from the group deal section part fo the forum. I got 38 offset, I think if it was 40 they would of fit. You have to get spacers for all 4 wheels. I might be doing this soon.

Haha what are you talking about? Why does everyone say that, they are just special lug nuts so that wrenches won't scratch my wheels. I have one gorillia lock a wheel and 4 special lug nuts that came with the wheels.


I am not sure where I am going to get spacers.

Ive seen people using those lug nuts for all 5 studs so I dont see the big deal either.

Looks like my BBS RX's (minus fake bolt together heads)--- which cost $300 per wheel. Nice.
