its so hard to find a deal on 4x114.3 wheels! especially wide 17s

[andybob]

Right now I am thinking of heading more into the low and tucked form, rather than poked. The big reason is I just bought these rims a month and a half ago and won't be able to splurge for nice rims for a while.

I really just want to get this thing low and scrapin'. I managed to scrape a little going into a driveway today and it kinda made me happy in my pants. My brother even said, "you want to go lower than this." My response was, 'I want to be so low and roll hard that I have to park on the street." He lol'd

Fortunatly for me, my oil pan is above the front crossmember.

So I have been doing some thinking.

I am for sure going to save for some coilovers. The Megan ones will fit the bill ok so now I just have to save for them. I am hoping by next summer when school is all over with.

As for wheels, I like the 17's I have, but I want something more aggressive and better looking. I'm thinking 17x8.5 et 30. The bolt pattern is 4x114.3.

I'd like to see if Rotiform could make me these in that spec:



Opinions on other wheels that would look good?

if your gonna go custom go as wide as possible

[mo diesil]

adapters or a re-drill

[andybob]

moar lows

Front is now 2.5" from stock, and rear is just about a 2.25" drop from stock.

From ground to fender its 24 1/4"

I still need moar lows, but I think I am on the right track.







Oh yeah, and my car is filthy as fuck.

please clean your rotors and hubs, thats like my biggest pet peeve, especially when alot of attention is focused on your wheels.
your on the right track though

[C.Raynes]

you accent is sick as fuck. I like the BBS', but the idea I have will blow some minds. In due time, in due time.

Its been a while since I've added to this and I lol'ed at a lot of the other shit I used to have on my car.

As it is now the tinted tails are gone and I am trying to sell the wheels to get coilovers. I plan on going down to SoWo, so I want to have it slammed by then.

I ended up hacking the shit out of the Eibach springs for lows. I have now taken 2 coils from the front springs, an 1.5 from the rear. I don't have pics of that yet, but here are some updated pics of the car:

When only 1 coil was cut:







As for cut coils, the ride is shitty but like I said I'm saving up for legit Coilovers.

LOL@ KDM, love it!

This is a great looking Kia I **** when people won't touch a platform just because it's not trendy. Good job.

[andybob]

Thanks dude.
