HansGT Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 How much do the tarmac III's wiegh 17 and 18 inchers? They are so pretty The question is, gun metallic or hyperblack on a silver lgt? 18" = 20-21lbs. 17" = ? (probably about one pound less) hyperblack...2cents. (more of a fan of the torque in hyperblack...see the Z in the pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAHPSH Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 would there be any clearance issues with 18x8 at stock height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 would there be any clearance issues with 18x8 at stock height? no. there arent even issues at lowered height. Just get the right offset (+48 is good). Get a 225/40/18 tire. Done. You might even be able to do a 235/40/18 OR maybe a 245/35/18 <- good size. check the wheels and tires sticky by Xenonk in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirling Dervish Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I have the gunmetal Tarmac III's on my ABP. See attached - in direct sunlight there's a little bit of bronze. Sorry I don't have better pics, but our roads are covered in road salt these days and I can't do any better... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/rusnakchris/Rotarims_02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thanks for the pics. I really like the black on the ABP. I like how the ABP looks in that lighting... its so different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Maybe the grey.... but that might be too dark for my liking. I dont have the balls for bronze balls for bronze? i dont get it, does that color scare you some how? i think it'll look great on ABP. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 what about with H-techs what size will be good...225,235,245? on 18s of corse Im running 235 width on lowered suspension with no rubbing issues whatsoever, i think you start to push that with 245 width.

Whirling Dervish Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 what size tires are u running and is that stock height? Riding stock height, tire profile is 225/40. No problems as of yet, not too much road noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I think steel grey. But I'm not into really dark wheels. I think they blend too much in with the tires. I thought for our color that steel grey or a silver with a machined lip would look good. I almost got 18" subzeros with a polished lip then pual had the 19 in the color I wanted so I got his wheels.

Atroz Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Sorry mine are I believe in hyper black they are really dirty right now. Can you confirm this please. These seem really dark for Hyper Black. I always thought Hyper Black was more of a Black Chrome colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddyup Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I would stick with the silver. It will be a nice contrast to the dark color of your car. I was really hoping you would have went SSR. Could have saved some$$$$$ Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Now those look like Hyper Black to me. its just lighting hyper black can look flat black under the right light, and can look chrome under other light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 its just lighting hyper black can look flat black under the right light, and can look chrome under other light it's more than lighting a true flat black is black and looks "dull" no matter what the lighting. hyper black has a "gloss" and more of a gray look than FB does not have. not even close. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really a great color wheel, so unique. I wonder if hyper silver is equally 'dynamic' for lack of better terms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalanche011 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I am picking up a set today. I ordered gold, though I have having doubts. I think I want hyper silver instead. What do you guys think will work for a Satin White? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
