will do.. need to find a cheap but good tyres and springs first :p
can someone provide me with like the specs of 18" rims and 19" rims that fit our FDs? like 18x7.5, 19x8 etc? just want a reasonable idea before i go ahead and ask different stores.
kinda off the topic but still related.
Looking for some wheel nuts/locks. So far theres Rays, Work and 5zigen. What is the difference between them? Are they pretty much the same?
As mentioned in another thread that FD wheel nuts are 12mm X 1.5". If i get offset +42, will i need to change my length (mm)?
And the PCD holes for any rim size will fit our FDs? Standardized?
cheers
All i know is ideal size for 18 is 7.5. Thats what im gettingQuote:

so 18x7.5 is the best width? how about the offset? and what rubber are you going to use? 18x?x?
cheers

erm.. normally are same depends on what material they use.. if u want a better lug nuts.. try McGard.. the BEST* lugnuts in the world.. all the good nuts are normally OEM from them..Quote:

erm.. our FD's PCD is 114.3.. =)
what i meant by PCD holes are the 5 holes that goes on the car. Sorry for the confusion. Just wondering if those 5 holes are standardized across all rims. Just want to make sure the wheel nuts/locks i buy will fit over them once on my car. So far Rays is looking good as they are the cheapest compared to the other 2
erm.. PCD is the holes size.. like 5x114.3 or 5x100.. or BMW's 5x120.. the depth of the wheels will be the offset.. so which 1 r u confusing now? =)
info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_C...er#Bolt_circle
erm.. i think some McGard will be cheaper.. =)
but if u get Work Wheels.. wont u put back Work nuts? =)
yea so in our case its 5x114.3. What im unsure is that if i get nuts, will they fit into the holes or do i need to find specific wheel nuts? Im looking to get some short 12mm X 1.5".
My wheels are not works. Looking to get red nuts/locks
normally like Work nuts or Rays nuts.. customer will buy it to match their wheels as same brand.. so if you wheels is in other brand.. then search the universal lug nuts brand.. McGard.. you shall find some from eBay.. =)
yup.. our car is 5x114.3.. just follow this size.. erm.. M12x1.5 will be the size for the nuts.. another 1 would be M12x1.25.. i forgot what's the difference for this two.. but i only saw this 2 selection when u bought nuts in the market nowadays.. =)
awesome. then ill go for 12mmX1.5" short since its 1 of 2 types going around. My brand doesnt make lug nuts (not that i could find) so im going for Rays in red. Mcgard only makes them in chrome :(
http://www.mcgard.com/Home/Automotiv...neDriveLugNuts
there are some color choice.. =)
http://www.mcgard.com/Applications/A...h/default.aspx
size as well.. =)
More choice from japan McGard
http://www.mcgard.com/japan/japanese..._honda_07.html
thanks for the info. Looks like the color is on the tips only. So might look funny when looking from an angle. Ill probably stick with Rays as its the next cheapest thing i could find.Quote:

i know what your saying. But if you put it that way then i wont be able to get any wheel nuts. I dont want to buy a no name brand as ive read that it is heavier and scratches easily (confirm?).Quote:

Choices in red are:
Muteki
Rays
Work
5zigen
So which one would you recommend? My wheel is not any of those brands. Looking for nuts/locks.
soo can someone tell me the size for 19" without rubbing?
yeah.. McGard is universal brand.. some more they given lifetime rust warranty.. =)
after reading on McGard, it seems to be the standout of the wheel nuts. Im kind of leaning towards it. Thanks Wayne.Quote:

just wheels. im buying my own tyres cos packaged ones are crap
lol.. if package.. how much they quoted u? what tyres they gave u in the package?

does anyone know if +35 offset will fit our FDs?
any offset will fit.
u need to worry about size and width more.. in conjunction with your offset...
if u run low offset.. u might need spacers and camber kit...
ahh i see, so what about 18x8 with +35 offset? anyone know if these will fit our FDs?
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100281
i thought u need spacer when u using high offset wheels to make the wheels come out a bit and won't touch the suspension.. correct me if im wrong.. =)Quote:

what about 18x9.. would that be pushing it?
anyone have idea what bodikit is that? where to get it if you do know
19 Inch
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...art/19inch.jpg
looks like just a custom fd2r kit. no idea where to get it from though..
anyone know if 18x9 will fit our FDs?
nice FD2R there.. and nice wheels too =)
It's not a FD2R. But it does have the partial type r bodykit, but with mugen grill?! Looks good none the less.
<whinge>Have been looking for the perfect rims for quite some time now, and then I found them. Got all excited ready to place the order and turns out they aren't available in 5x114.3 :( </whinge>
which ones were u after?Quote:

http://www.tempetyres.com.au/content.../bg_GT05_S.jpg
What colour is ur fd?
black... funny thing is up until a couple of days ao i never liked black rims at all... now I'm just lost. Silver rims are too common now... leaving white (looking at the bc p1 sf rims in white with red lip) and gold. Still not sure I want black.
1st 1 look nicer..
i get how u feel, i cant decide on what rims, but im really interested in work emotion XD9 in WMB finish. looks sweeet.
uhm anyways with the lenso. go for the GF7 in black with polished lip, im tossing up between the black one of those, the silver of those, gold 10 spokes.. and the XD9s..
i agree. Silver rims are too common. Originally i was going for Hyperblack with a silver lip. Then i thought i want to do something different and bought some matte black onesQuote:

i can't honestly say, speak to the place where you are looking at getting your wheels. They be able to test the wheel on your car before you commit to buy.Quote:

besides what are you going to do when black rims become too common...LOL go for whatever you reckon suits your style...i think its more about the style your after than the colour...just my 2 cents worth
what about gold rims? gold rims with the full mugen kit including the wing = sex on gold wheels.
are you talking about bronze rims? Cos gold rims IMO looks ugly. But then again, i have a mate who loves gold rims on white cars.Quote:

wouldnt mind trying on 20's tho o:
oh really? have u had to roll ur fenders back or anything? and have u got it dropped or stock height?
sitting stock height at the moment,
doing research on coilovers..
anyone heard of a brand called shoufers? or shoovers... couldnt really understand the guy at the place i normally go to. apparently they make them custom.
any issues with rubbing or anything? do u know if 18x9 would fit? damn it sounds fat...
yeah.. well i dunno if it happened with other people..
but my wheel "[]" ends so that the inner walls "[]-[]" is kinda really close to the shock.. and the way shocks are made to hold springs is makes me think that if i lower my car on springs its just gonna rub so the inner wall of the tire/wheel will rub on the shock..
for example.. i went over a big bump by accident the other day and my inner tire on the right hit the spring holding thingo...
i dunno if that made sense..
Ahh, yeahh i get you. Do you reckon 18x9 would fit? or would the width definately hit the springs?
na there is heaps of room in the guard wells and you can always buy spaces to make the wheels stick out more... but you will have a problem with the wheels arches scrubing like crazy, if you want to go low that is.
8.5 i reckon is the max you should go :D
damnitt... so 18x9 is a nono? ouch. soo actually.. whats the real difference between 18x8.5 and 18x9.. does that just mean the width would be too far out? or is it something else im missing.. =/.. not experienced with this stuff at all.. yeah was planning on dropping it about 1-2 inches after getting them.
does anyone have 18x9 or rims that width on their FDs? and any issues withi t?
lol how do you guys afford tires at 18x8 - 18x 9 haha
i thought my 225 45 r17 were snug
erm.. 8.5 and 9 difference is like "------"
0.5".. =)
Got some Rays wheels headed my way :)
Specs are 18" x 7.5 and.... [drum roll]..... +35 offset... hopefully will be ok... should be alright, atleast at stock height... but will want to lower it at the same time.. so only balance wheels once.
Looking for lock nuts.. I get that i need 12mm x 1.5 thread thingy... but then there open/closed and whether the "seating" is rounded or flat or whatever the other way is confusing.. [sigh]
wow.. whats the model? g-games? or gramlights?
