here are my rims...

15 x 8 +-0 offset
3.5 inches of dishy goodness :D


FInally i get a good look at this car! Ive seen it a few times but driving in the opposite direction so i've missed out :(. Sexy little car there. Even my dad (who thinks 5's are for girls) thinks it looks hot!

Have you got a garage thread or specs on the rest of the car?


aww... thank you. Your dad needs to have a drive of one and then he will change his mind :wink:

no garage thread... she is pretty stock... from Japan so has aircon and power steering.
Some of the mods on her:
15 x 8 with 0 offset, 3.5inch dish
slightly lowered
Origin bolt on flares
Aftermarket exhaust
Cusco strut brace
Pod filter
Garage Vary front lip
Tinted
Momo Race steering wheel
RayBrig headlights
Had a pair of Bride Zeta 3's in but removed them recently

thats about it for the moment :)

Something different.....

Bought some wheels out of Japan, factory NA wheel, really light, apparently they are off an NA Limited Edition 'VR'. Just had them powder coated black. Going on car soon. May have another set coming if anyone is interested.

hey mate, they are ssr longchamp knockoffs,
(the greatest thing about knockoffs, they come in good sizes/offsets)

Koya - AE-TEK
15 X 8 inch
0 Offset,

Tyres are:
Bridgestone potenza re001 "adrenaline"
205/40/15


(yellowspeed coilovers should arrive in the mail any day now (with some other suprises))

15 x 8 0 offset fits no probs, surely a low profile low AR tire will clear everything on a 14 inch

Post up some pics of your stance because I'm running YSR coilovers too. I'm interested to see how these fit under stock guards. Looks like you'll need a good roll and pull with a lot of camber though.

i have flares on the way too, i will most probably end up cutting wider arches and then bolting flares over the top to slam without too much camber ( too much camber and the flares will look useless)

but i will take some snaps as low as i can go before cutting. (i have thick swaybars to stop guards chewing tyres/tyres ruining guards)
