Road to dat fitment..

[andybob]

I'd do coils first so you can get your lows where you want it then measure for wheels.

I have Megan coilovers and I love them, well worth the money.

So, my SO had ordered me the front lip I wanted for my birthday but it hasn't made it in yet. It's a special order item (ships from Korea) and the place from where I ordered it emailed and said it wasn't on the shipment they just received this week, and I would have to wait another 2-3 weeks for the next shipment of special order items, which would put the wait at ~2 months since she ordered at the beginning of the month in anticipation of it taking awhile (my bday was yesterday).

I think that at this point we are just going to request a refund and I'll use the money towards a set of coilovers or a new set of wheels.

So it's either, get the 530's as originally planned, or wait and save up a bit more for Megan Racing coilovers. Not really sure on what I'll do.

Good start. Interested to see where this goes.

Sub'd this will be sixk with 530's... Your title interest me.. because my bro's company is Named DATfitment. >>>>http://www.facebook.com/DATFitmentOfficial <<< give us a like!!

Thanks, I gave em a like.

That's by far the meanest Kia I've ever seen, love it

Thanks man! I appreciate the love.

Looks good so far.

When it comes to wheels, take your time, search, and don't be afraid to wait for the perfect set. I waited over a year for the right wheels to come along. Also, by the time you screw around buying new Rota's or XXR's you can buy a used set of legit wheels. I bought my wheels from VR Wheels but other good sites are Apt. 9 Wheels, Memory Fab, and the Zilvia forum. Lots of used wheels on Zilvia for decent prices and I think they would fit assuming the Forte is 5x114.3.

Thanks, your Kia is sick. I've followed your thread since the beginning.

Yeah, I'm trying to be patient with wheels this time around, it's just so hard lols. I'll check out the sites you referred me too!

i dig the current look minus the smoked tails and wheels.

follow andrew's advice, he knows a thing or two about kias

Thanks, yeah I need new wheels so badly, lol.

No doubt, he's a Kia boss lol.

Seen a set of the xxr 530 on another Forte and I'm not really feeling them.

I'm been doing some searching and I'm really liking the MB Weapon's, possible staggered set up, 18x8/9 front et30 rear et38, will give me some poke, nothing too outrageous (which I like). The price on the MB's is really good too.

Otherwise, I have been looking at some ESM wheels (BBS LM reps) which I REALLY like, but they are pricey (for me at least).

[P78]

this is different

i'll look into this next time

I took some measurements over the weekend. A 5mm spacer would put me flush with the fender, I'm thinking a 5mm up front and a 10mm in back for now, at least until I can get the XXR's.

[_AnGeL_]

How big of a spacer do you guys think I would need if I go that route?

[_AnGeL_]

Thanks guys!

Really liking this so far actually. Worried by the 20s initially but looking very good now. Unsure on tinted tails.

[FunfGang]

I'm digging it so far!
