Woohoo. Just got my wheels put on!!!

[Racer 007]

Finally got my wheels and tires put on yesterday. I will post pics later tonight.

Here is what they look like. I got gunmetal even though it kind of clashes with my car's white paint. I think it looks a lot tougher though than chrome or silver. They are 17" Velox VX-Scythe.

My tires are Falken Azenis. Go to this link to see them.

[GabeRT]

[Racer 007]

No. Rich has the VX-8's. Those are what I was going to get though.

I like these better.

[GabeRT]

[GabeRT]

[Racer 007]

Those would look sweet on your car in black.

The wheels and tires cost almost $2400 altogether:(

What are you doing today? We can swap the disks and then I can show them off.:D

[Munkey]

Those look clean, but I'm with matt...I wanna see some pics on the car!

[Racer 007]

I just took these pictures and it is dark out. I will try some more pics in the daylight. But this is at least an idea.

[Racer 007]

[Racer 007]

I know, I know. The rotors are next.

[Racer 007]

Pic 4

[Racer 007]

OK. Last one.

[Munkey]

Can you say wheel gap! :eek: ;)

Seriously, those look awesome man. Now lower it!:p

[imp pwr online]

So that car is for the Off road rally right?

Damn GAPman

[Racer 007]

I knew that was coming. The wheel gap is temporary until I move. I have 2 giganticus speed bumps by my house, one is actually in front of my house. When I pass over them, my pipes are about 1/4 of an inch away from the apex of the speedbumps. Any lower and I will scrape like a sumabitch. I will definitely be cutting the springs though. I just have to wait a while.

Haha Chris.

[DJ Eric P.]

DO NOT CUT YOUR SPRINGS....just buy some intrax. Are those 16's or 17's? To bad you couldn't get 18's or 19's. Well at least in the winter time you can put somee 33" Mickey Thompson's mud swampers on it.:D

Until you lower it put some Armor All all over your wheel wells.

got gap!

[Griffin]

How many children have you lost in those wheel wells? You could probably rent out the space in there to some mexicans for a nice chunk of change....

[Racer 007]

You guys are killing me.

I was mulling around the idea earlier today about taking a sledgehammer to those speed bumps in the middle of the night.

[matt sherman]

well if you're not goingto lower car right away, at least wash the wheel wells every now and then..fuck man, you have like 1/2 inch of dirt of those things.....

Well you know, I live in the freakin Chihuahuan desert. It's kind of hard to avoid the dirt here.:D

[narangdisco]

Nice rims! those rims looks nice on our cars!
Saw someone has dat on 3KGT..

[barf]

Wheels and tires look good! Once you get your rotors cleaned up and paint your calipers should make a huge difference too. Man, sorry to keep rubbing this in, but that is the biggest wheel gap I've ever seen on a 3S car!;)

hell yeah:p

no one knew they made an OFF ROAD edition of the stealth did they?!;)

[Griffin]

If you look close enough you can see a small group of kids playing kick ball in there....

LMAO. You fuckin crack me up. I knew there was a reason I kept you around.:D ;)

[Griffin]

;) I aim to please! But seriously, why don't you sell your house and move in there? You could probably fit a 3 bedroom house in there I would guess?

[GabeRT]

either way, the roads in juarez are HORRIBLE. don't go for a "crazy low" or else you'll never get out of juarez alive. i go there to visit my dad every now and then and if i stray off course of the path i take, i can pretty much kiss my bottom end and struts goodbye.

Now that is some funny shit. Richy, did you ever think of building a fort up there? You could hide there when your in trouble with the wife:eek:

You've just been OWNED

[Racer 007]

The wheelgap is the same as with the stock tires and rims. Please stop picking on me guys.:(

Watch out guys, he might start crying.

[DJ Eric P.]

Wheel gap can be expected on stock rims, but when you get nice rims the gap better disappear with the stock rims.

[matt sherman]

we all used to have wheel gap at one time or another....we just knew enough to do something about it;)

Matt

[Griffin]

Leave him alone guys. He is very sensitive.

[Munkey]

Hey Richy, here's a family that lives down the road from me. They've been lookin to move to El Paso, and, they'll gladly move in to your wheel gap.

[DJ Eric P.]

What about the other three wheel gaps.

[GabeRT]

hahaha munkey oh god i just coughed up my spleen

[Munkey]

I figure they can be like sharecroppers. They can use the space in the other gaps to grow crops, use some for themselves, and give the rest to Richy as payment.

lmao thats the funniest damn thing i've heard all day...

hell i bet they could all pile in your car(they are mexican:D) and squish the springs enough to where you don't have the gap anymore:eek:http://us3s.com/freeforum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[mongorunner]

actually richy the gap is bigger now, because your sidewall on your stockers is alot taller

[Racer 007]

:anger:

[Griffin]

:D Munkey, that is by far the funniest thing I have ever seen posted. You are killing me!:D Richy, don't even bother responding. You have been OWNED!

[D.I.P.]

[Pearson]

Oh wtf ever that is not your real wheel gap. He is just playin with us what he really did was jack up both the front and rear as far as possible. Let it sit for about an hour on the jacks then he dropped the car back down and took some pics as fast as he could before the springs even had a chance to settle.

[Griffin]

Richy,

What if you built a theme park in the wheel gap and charged a $20 admission fee to get in. You could call it Wheel Gap World. It could be a half water park, half go cart racing. What do you think?

[AbsurdParadox]

So when people talk about shopping at the Gap, is this where they're talking about?

I do love the rims, though! I wonder if those would look good on a black car.

[vetting]

Here is what your car would look like if it were lowered....sorry for the quick photoshop job.

mmm, nice sig girl, and nice clear lenses, too

[vetting]

I've very proud of my sig....spent the morning working on it. I'm just waiting to get some pics of the current gf so I can place a real woman in there. BTW - I'm going to have to replace my tires before the NG. I tore up my current set AutoX'n. Anyone have any reviews on Kuhmos?
