3. Innovative 5 spoke on 5 spoke design. Offers more than just a plain 10 spoke wheel.

4. I found a super good deal on them (less than $400 shipped w/o tires to my front door) & I'd like to keep that on the low-low until I have them in my clutches. then I can divulge all my info on 'em.
Phil, are you lowered? What kind of tire are you gonna run? I'm thinking you might have some rubbing with that offset...

Yes. Tein S-Techs. I'm not sure what tire size yet, but when I get them...I believe I will go w/the biggest tire size I can go with. 215/40 I think? 205 maybe? What's your views on this tire/wheel gurus?

Karen got any input? Don't you have 18's w/no rubby rubby?

Yep...sorta. I had to raise the coil-overs up in the back because they were rubbing. They still rub in the back sometimes if there is weight back there, i.e. passengers. They are 18 X 7.5s w/ 215/35/18s (I'm not sure of the offset and the Teck website doesn't have it on there). Basically I have heavy wheels, heavy tires, and no sidewall protection. It rides like complete **** w/ the 18s on. I don't recommend 18s for a daily driver.

I believe I'll make it work....if not, I'll have to invest in a good set of aftermarket adjustables....maybe Koni....maybe Tein...depending on what type of money I'm looking at spending....or if they are even needed at all.

Well, I officially ordered my wheels 5 minutes ago.

To answer all questions, simply go here:
ADR SZ1

Ebay is still my number 1 spot for wheels...hands down.

-Phil

That's it for a while (apart from tires)...I need to save for this camping out @ the SE Meet and a cruise to Mexico w/an old flame of mine (after 4 years of not knowing where the other one was, she found me by googling my name...go figure). Besides, some local guy is supoosed to be taking a mold of my hood and Topher's trunk to make us some CF stuff....so hopefully i get a free hood outta that.

-Phil

Colombian women > ALL
(And no smart-assed comments, she's a college grad, not a HS grad, JIC some one noticed the Class of 2005 on the hat).
