  • Barely tucking wheel.... good enough!

    Well I posted a while ago in the Intro section but I'd like to re-introduce my car on its new temp set-up.
    Here's some old pictures to possibly refresh memories, used to be sitting on Diamonds which were 15x8 all around front(-12et) rear(-25et)




    Soon enough got bored of those wheels and rolled on some 14 inch hubcaps for a while


    And here she is today sitting on some temporary 16s. Not wide at all but gives that oem+ look. After adapters sitting at 16x7(-5) all around.


    Oh yeah and wings west front lip finally!



    Sorry newest pics are all from my phone :/

    Lemme know what you guys think! criticism welcome.

    I **** to say it, but the diamonds were pretty killer looking on there.

      i don't mind the diamonds at all, they fi really well with the car.

      new wheels do seem to look good but the amount of tuck on the rear isn't my cup of tea
      if you can get the rear to sit the same as the front it sure would look better in my eyes. that means you need to slightly raise it and give it a bit of rake but i do think you can pull off that oem+ look.
      but it's your car, curious to see how it goes

      nice work anyway

            I like the 15s better, the sixteens look almost too big. But I see you switched to 5-lug? Is that just from the spacers or did you change the hub?

              Yeah I was pretty happy with the set-up. Only thing I want to do soon is go wider. I've been thinking 16x10 all around.

              That's exactly what I was going for. I wanted to get the real Mugen one (which this one is a quality replica of) but of course I would **** to break one lol.

              At first the 16s did look huge but I got used to it and I think the car looks 10x better in person too. Car is still 4-lug but I just put adapters to fit the 5 lug. (50mm thick)

                It's a Mugen rep and about as rare as the Mugen these days.

                Mine was stolen along with my car.

                  Well also forgot to mention that my intention with this car is an all around build so I've
                  been busy with my brother putting together and finally putting on my VTEC head!


                  Obviously got to have other goodies too! ATI Super Damper


                  Mugen steering wheel to replace my old "JDM" steering wheel lol.



                  Only missing a couple more things motor wise before I go back to spending money on looks and all that good stuff.

                      Looks good man.

                      The WW front lip is classic... I would prefer it black over color matched, but that's me.
