finally got the suspension, wheels, wingless, side skirts and alignment done. i want to wait to start a journal for some good quality pics, but here's a little teaser.
Sorry for the thread jack, but is it true what most say about Rota's? That they are weak and break all the time? Sick car btw. Can't wait to see the journal!
ah you beat me to the grids, please post the side pix. Which one did you end up getting 18x9.5 or 10"? Mine should be in soon.
We could make another thread about this topic and it would last for days if not months or even years...The debate is incessantly never ending.
no, they aren't weak and break when daily driven on. maybe they probably aren't the best choice for a track car with harsh track driving. yes, they knock off every good wheel
i want to see some 18x10 in person, since those are the one's i am getting. Well kinda in debate right now lol. What tire size is he running 255/35?
yeah 18x9.5's........i dont know if i would want to try and make some 10's fit lol i'm running 245/40 right now.....got the tires for cheap and was strapped for cash on them. they fit easily with the mild fender mods i did, so i think i will be going 255/35 next.
also lowered it more after taking these pics so side shots will have to wait for another picture day......cant be postin old shit hahaa
What sideskirts did you go with? Car looks clean, but exactly like 90% of the 04/05 STis in the world. Wingless is a nice touch, and I'm diggin the wheels.
oh come on, don't kill my hope. I know i am gonna go through some PITA to make the 10's fit, but should be just one time deal. You know they'd look sweet lol. Side pix NOOOOW I'd really like to see your car in person so i can see how the 9.5's fit
oh no doubt they will look good. they actually might not be too bad to make fit, and i would love to see you rollin on the 10's. i thought mine were gonna be hard to fit but it really wasnt that bad. all i've done was roll the front fenders, and grind the lip off the rears and gave it a very minimal pull, and i still feel there is room that i can go lower........just my coilovers wont let me haha.....they're adjusted all the way down. are you going to the taco mac meet this sunday? if so i will be there and you can see it in person
haha sorry my picture taking skills suck......especially when the sun isnt out(the rain), and i just wanted to get some real good pics before i whore it up
my 19's are 35mm, but only 8.5" wide. My goal is to fit 265/35 tires on the new set. I am gonna have to get rid of my fender liners, and good bit of fender work. I think i am going to hold the wheel for couple more months since my full rear diffuser project halted after the turbo kit started. Need to finish the diffuser next. Saw Derick's setup in person, looks freaking great.
