Jeff, I'm doubting your sanity now. You've got those nice-a$$ boyd's now and you want to go to that wheel?

That wheel looks CHEAP... imho respectfully

I agree with Dante, those wheels look like something you'd see on an eclipse or integra.

Kandied, put the crack pipe down and back away. Don't do another thing to your car. It has got to be the nicest 3rdGen (hell even 4thGens can't compare) I've seen to date. :hail: If you really must spend more money and work on something, either come out to my place and hook me up, or get another one and start on it. May I suggest a GTA. I'd love to see a Kandied GTA. :hail:

lol....19/20 on a thirdgen...........not in a million years!!

thirdgens aren't designed for it. now my gtp that's a different story, much like the vette the wells are designed for that type of setup and it looks damn good.

on a thirdgen its all one height or nothing.offset combos look rediculous to me.

LOL, i've read many posts from you, voicnig your opinion on the offset look, just had to give you a hard time....

Now antoher car that's an RS......Like to see what you have in store for that.....

You can't go wrong with Boyd or Intro, those are two solid choices for the classic wheel designs..

i just don't like how different they show up since the pannels are even....a vette clearly has different openings (wells) for the wheels. the gp is the same so are many other cars that have staggered sizes....

many have seen the picture i post where it shows the 17/18 staggered rolling and it doesn't look good to me.

as far as the rs.....hopefully it will be done by next spring.

if i owned a gtp id put a set of lightweight bbs rims on , in 15x8 . We have a 2000 gtp that runs 13.8 @ 99 and it can completely anniahliate the tires if you just floor it. So id get a set of sticky tires that are lightweight and have a good size sidewall and a sticky tire.

i hate sidewall!!




not to mention the baers don't fit behind a 15" tire..i really want centerlines new forged lightweight 6 spoke wheel but at 1200 for the set i really don't feel like spending that much on them. the intro wheel above is 2,000 for the 4 which i don't see happening. i think i'll stick with my giovannas on the gp for now but this thread was about the project rs anyhow!
