15x6.5 +18 ET - AGRO RACING LOAD Wheels - JDM
2 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 R - 205-50-ZR15
2 Bridgestone Potenza RE-710- 215-50-ZR15

I am a very happy camper

I think I am going to get another pair of RE-01 R's in 195-50-15 as you can see the 205's are sticking out the fenders, or I may just go with the fender flares

will post more photos once they are cleaned up etc, gonna paint the centers gold and polish up the lips.. feeling a little more JDM ole school now

[TriniGT]

Sweet, nothing like ole school. That is some serious beef though, could you not have gotten a slightly smaller sidewall/profiled tyre?

[cinco]

nice
lots of meat for real i would look for some 195/55/15s

[Bezman]

got some 195 45 15 Continental's gonna keep the RE-01R's for solodex/drift/drag etc'

[Bezman]

painted one wheel black to see what it would look like, think i still want to see it in gold to make a final decision.. looks good though..

[Alpha_2nr]

^^Both the black and gold inserts would look dope!

Personally, I would have used the black, since it would match with the theme of teh rest of teh car.

[Monk BANzai]

ooooh. Gold may work better in this case....

i have a pr. of Brides if you interested.....and MR. man.....time to Lenny Sumad up yuh proejckt eh!!!

[Bezman]

I think I am going to go with black for now and paint them Gold when the car comes back from the painter..

Hey thanks Banzai, I have one Bride driver seat already, PM a price on the pair and I may take them and sell one or something, I was thinking of putting in a passenger bucket as well.. and I sorry, but it must be the caucasian in me, I dont have a clue what or how to "Lenny Sumad" my project

here are a couple photos from this morning, wanted to just bounce starter and take her for a drive this morning, need a frucking S13 tension ROD!!!

[Monk BANzai]

lol...no worries dude.....Lenny Sumad makes the "bone plates"...

on another note...



something im experimenting with for the rover. I'm using Motorcycle wing mirrors as car wing mirrors. If you looking for the "f1 wing mirror" feel. To me, given the profile of the car (esp if you thinking of putting wheel arches which will be black and which I KNOW YOU WONT PAINT OVER!), the less "bulk" you have protruding from the body the cleaner the lines of the car will appear.

its an option.The stance of the car is great though. I really hope this stays with you for a while....to this day i kick myself for selling "Project Dougla"...

[droppa]

^^ ah pr of sumadhs would add some more to her look.......

[TriniGT]

Doh know if it's the pic but the front wheels looking wider than the rear. Car looks sweet, spray that intercooler black and it will be very stealthy. I doh know if he mean Lenny Sumad, as in change yuh number plates to the bone plates

[TriniGT]

Nah get the ole school mirrors,

[Monk BANzai]

^^ that cud work......

yes Sumads = bone plates

[Bezman]

already ordered these.. they are stainless steel polished, so no rust or chrome flaking and the are not plastic. they are also adjustable..

[TriniGT]

Bess.

[Bezman]

at Bone Plates... haha

thats the last ting on my mind, and honestly I would never pay the 300+ for license plates.. especially when they may be made illegal and replaced by license office next year..

[cinco]

lookin good
do one side gold one side black for something different
where u get dem wheels btw?

[moti]

hoss; please be ordering the fender flares next.
that will just put the car over the top with those coupled with the mirrors.


oh and i say just sweet man; car coming in just sweet.

[Bezman]

well i called the shop i wanted to get the flares from and they are not answering, i emailed them and even got a colleague in the US to call and they didn't answer, i am hoping they are at the races and not out of business.

Other than that I'll have to order the flares from Japan

I have been looking at 510 and 240Z flares, but those usually are too big for the 1200 and look out of place..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fender-f ... 500wt_1182

It will take some serious rubber to fill out 3" on either side, and unfortunately these wheels are not wide enough and I'm not going to use spacers to fake it..

until i get some 8" wide wheels, i'll try to keep em tucked.

[Bezman]

ZG Flares on a 510
