Drift Motion Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 So the ultimate question is will any of you buy these wheels for $600-$800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbs7 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would definitely buy for $600. Do they fit well or would i need to make any adjustments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 That'll depend on your suspension setup and tire choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swine Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 coilovers with stiff spring rates and some initial spring preload and camber plates, rear camber arms, not lowered too much(1-1.5"), the right alignment and a good fender roll/pull. Running RCE Tarmac 1's with camber of -1 fr and factory rear using oem alignment equipment(no plates or arms). Running the RCE factory ride height which is about 1 & 3/4 fingers gap(forgive the laymans ride height), 18x8.5" +48 with a 245/40 on fenders barely rolled and i never scrubbed once. I would say with the wheels offset being a bit lower, could you get away with not even needing coilovers(lower offset pushes wheel further away from inside of the car, and from what i understand part of the problem with running a bigger wheel on an lgt is the wheel contacting the oem struts)? Anyways, this wheel, on a moderate drop, with a decent street alignment, and a 235 would be a beautiful street setup. Its exactly what im running except for 6mm in offset and it drives beautifully.

Drift Motion Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 You wouldn't have any problem with clearing the suspension. Mainly just the fender depending on ride height and alignment specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 ^exactly. FWIW i run a 255/35/18 r-comp(runs wider than any street tire) on what amounts to a 18x8.5 +38 in the rear(+48 rim with a 10mm spacer) . it just barely sticks out past the rear fender. with a street tire and a +42 rim it would all fit under the fender assuming a good roll/pull and the right camber.

Drift Motion Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm in the process of getting some samples in matte black, stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LGTurbo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Id like in a matte silver, And a hyper silver, and probably a darker gold. Id definitely buy for 600-700. 700-800 id consider my options a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosthated Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 id like to see these in 18X 9.5 with a step lip design that would look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'd love to have some 18x9.5 again, but I can't change the mold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Full gunmetal? Yup. Or full silver as was requested. Either would look great on our BSM OBXT. So the ultimate question is will any of you buy these wheels for $600-$800? I would definitely buy for $600. Would paypal today for the right color set in 17" for the OBXT. I'm in the process of getting some samples in matte black, stay tuned. Matt black on the other hand out look great on my RBP LGT... Let me know when you have them in hand. I would be interested in popping by and seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Max, Do you have BBK or STi Brembo on your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm a buy at 600-800 for 18x8.5 +42. What are your shipping date expectations? I need wider rims for the track and these would out well (using whitetiger's wheel sizing with 245's). I'm already dropped on c/o and mild roll on the rear fenders.

Drift Motion Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 there are plenty that are running 8.5 +45/+48 couple mm will not make much of a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 in for pics. instead of matte black gunmetal would be better just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've been debating, more and more people are suggesting gunmetal...so that might be the way to go. and gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Already have a set of gold wheels. dont want another set. Darker colors are preferred (gunmetal is good) Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.K.S. Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I like em, anyway you can get them to stock weight or better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 not at this price range, simply because the wheels are bigger and wider Stock wheels are designed with one size and offset in mind, thus materials are taken out of the wheels as much as possible, while aftermarket wheels needs to take into consideration of different offset which means adding weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
