simontempler Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I wasn't implying that they were ugly. I just figured with a 5x100 bolt pattern, possible customers would be limited. Understood! I'm liking it and it's growing on me actually.. as morbid as some posters there thinks.. I just need a few tasteful updates on the body to tie everything in.. on certain angles, the looks are definitely killer! though I've lost my stealth look with my SSRs.. maybe after my protune wiht Jarrad in a couple of weeks I'll work on the aesthetics of my car. The Direzzas are noisy as hell but boy, oh boy, do they perform like R compound tyres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahalo! Was thinking about that.. clearing hadlights.. gotta find out where the thread i to do that... you sound sooo local.. LOL! Thinking of powder coating the red with a hi gloss clear coat obsidian black.. I'm sure that will bring the contrast to earth level.. . I gotta say.. they don't look half bad if it's painted a more subtle, matching color.. Shoppin' for a front lip and rear deck lip to complete the look..

S0CalGT Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 simontemplar, Since you asked for an opinion, I'll give it to you (I only speak for myself). I've never liked the 3-spoke design (regardless of name-brand) let alone the Super Advan line. I think the design is horrid and never fit any car it was ever mounted on, regardless of color combination. My recommendation is to stay away from these (despite the cheap price and desired offset/diameter/width) and wait for something better. Ultimately, it's your money and decision, I just figure you receive another honest opinion before pulling the trigger. Edit: Didn't think you already bought them, just don't have buyers remorse. Remember, the car shouldn't be styled to make the wheels look good, it's the other way around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, it's your money and decision, I just figure you receive another honest opinion before pulling the trigger. Thanks for your input and its noted. I'm one who is quite conservative especially with my car. You can even say I am anti-bling. I lam keeping my SSRs (pics in this thread). I really do love the stealth, staid appearance and even debadged it . The only tell tale sign indicative of a high performance engine is my FMIC. I wasn't too keen on the looks on my car initially and have been driving it daily for the past week and it drives great! I'm still on the fence and will be changing the red to another color. I know that this wheel not for everyone, with LGT-NY being very vocal about it, but I can live with that. I'd like to see how far I can take this before I can confidently say it doesn't work. At what expense? Well, considering that I have offers for buy them outright, not much at all. I'm just having fun with it and would like to share with you folks this experience. Thanks for your pleasant reply and opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontempler Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks. Well, had to roll my fenders and switched tires to 225/40/18s with -1 camber front and rear. The 235/40/18 Direzza Spec 1s are now on my SSRs. Works much better now. I'm actually liking the RED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontempler Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Right after it's painted Dark Gun Metal Grey, yo. If I was keeping it to run auto X all the time, I'd leave the color alone. But it's catching too much attention now as a DD. No fun. Switching to my SSRs until the Advans are painted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontempler Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry for the poor pic. Once I have them aligned, balanced and cleaned up, will take better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LGT-NY Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Still not my cup of tea. Sorry, kind of looks like an old school Ford Probe with the 3 spoke wheels. It looks better than the red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
