sorta low, and really really slow (accord wagon)

I'd just go ahead and paint it gloss black, that is if you can't get cheap, color matched paint. If you can, just prep it and give it a shot!

[Nick475]

I wouldn't want to go all black. I like my red maroon cherry type color lol. Guess I'll look for some touch up stuff online later. Youre lucky your accord is white Stuart. makes it easy to touch up lol

[244Brick]

what wheels you get?

[Nick475]

xxr 527 16x8.25 in gold. and i have some old 195 55 16's for them

[Nick475]

wheels came in today.. me and my cousin will mount them tomorrow. ill also be rollin the front's then as well.

heres the stretch.. not too much

[rice4life]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant wait to see them mounted up!

[rice4life]

As for the hood, keep it that maroon color. Needs to stay classy.

[Nick475]

well after a long day of attempting to mount these damn tires. i got 1 of them seated.... tried the starter fluid method a million times but they just wouldnt stretch and seat. so ill be going to the tire shop tomorrow to get them done. will post pics of whole car then...

heres the one. runs a pretty good amount of stretch



also, dont try to step on the tire when it's still on fire. you will lose all your leg hair and die

[rice4life]

I lol'ed at that last pic.

Nice stretch on that tire, still cant wait to see this thing all mounted up, it will be so dope.

[Nick475]

finally! all new wheels are on... picture time yay








its gonna sit like this for a little bit... next up is either a new engine, or the 5 speed swap. so it may be a while. once all of thats done. i plan on going with a full coilover set up

[FunfGang]

Question Nick: Why would you go an buy another set of fake wheels that don't fit at all, if you're saving up for a new engine/ 5spd swap?

[Nick475]

Idk. I like these more than te previous ones. Plus I didn't really lose much money since I already sold my other wheels

[Nick475]

Plus, I wanted to sorta finish all the aesthetic stuff with the car before I go into te mechanical stuff

Why not roll on stocks? It just seems absolutely silly to me why you would by wheels that don't fit at all, months before you can buy coil overs. And they still won't fit then.

And again, this is the OPPOSITE of the way you want to do things. Get your car working properly(or to how you want it), then worry about the way it looks. I'm not trying to harass you, I'm just trying to help you out and get your car done correctly.

[rice4life]

He has a point though, but with a bit of camber and a fender roll and a pull they will fit.

You might have to go oni kyan on this if they dont fit. I like oni kyan too because its different.

I went a similar way that you did but it was.

Wheels (had know idea if they would fit I just knew they were on a 240sx and they turned out to be some real kinda rare 5zigen's)

Lowering springs and stiffer shocks(didnt really know how low it would be, which turned out to be like a 1" drop)

I had 3 different kinds of tires on from drifting so I changed two of them to be the right size

Then came coil sleeves

Go at your own pace, enjoy modifying your car and making it into something you want.
