I would have posted pictures of my new wheels

[SwampAss]

But I couldn't get to my trusted tire guy until it was too late this evening. Too many tire monkeys in this town will booger up a new set of wheels before I even get them on the car. I'll post FULL DAY LIGHT PICTURES on Monday. hah. Perhaps from more than one angle.

I hope my 20s fit. It's gonna be BLING-Tastic. They only weigh 58lbs tire and rim combined. Not bad I guess. I was thinking 60lbs. Cross your fingers than I don't have to roll my fenders......(headbang)

[C'ville]

BS, Rumors, I need pics...J/K

[SwampAss]

I blame ReFlex for my tire guy being busy.


I promise I will post pictures. Not some lame photoshop of my pep boys wing.
That's still my favorite mod so far.

Yes sorry there swampass I’m afraid you have the reputation of being a joker.
i just put 15's on mine so your 20's will be massive. LOL.
See my pic.

bring the donkey and eeeee awwww back. Much more personality in that, lol. Go put some lights on the rims and take a picture ya lazy bastid! hehe

[SwampAss]

I'm feelin' mo punk lately.

The wheels aren't on yet. I get the tires mounted monday since I bought them from tire rack and the wheels from bling.com

[Mike V]

:bs: Nobody in their right mind would put 20s on an MS3.

[SwampAss]

Just you wait! Only you might have to wait til tuesday (voices carry) because we have about 6 inches of snow. My tire guy is a single parent if you catch my drift....no pun

[Grodzman]

Why the hell are you doing this?

I want to cry...

20's? Are you serious? Why!?

[javanc]

Swamp those 20s are gonna look pimp yo. I was thinking about putting some of those rims that the Tahoes and Suburbans use. I think those weigh like 68 lbs with tires, at least i wont have to use the gas on the freeway, all thoat rotating weight will just keep me going. Keep up the great work Swamp those rims will look great with your pep boys wing.

[SwampAss]

damn straight. Thanks. I think with the flywheel affect these will produce I'll SAVE fuel on the highway.

[miss_steele_msp]

[Rotus8]

What happened to your wing?
(uhm)

[SwampAss]

It blew off when I shifted into turbo. (sssh)

[C'ville]

Those look dope...are they the leggers (not sure on spelling)
I was looking at those also (not the dubs, just 18")
Congrats, I like pics :)

[yashart_mp3]

Very nice!

[SwampAss]

Ultra Leggera. You got it. I wanted something non-flashy, light weight, and decent quality. I was looking at BBS CH's but the offset was way in the wrong direction and weighed as much as the stockers! I have had BBS wheels in the past and really liked them. I was looking @ $600 a wheel for something as light as these if I went the BBS route. I had OZ forged alum wheels on my Hayabusa and was impressed with the quality. Their car wheels appear to be no different.

[jbiird317]

swampass - I hate you....

Seriously these are in the shopping cart for me at tirerack.com. I am waiting on a discount code from a friend who works there to purchase these exact same wheels. I hate duplicating what other ppl have already done. I mean, they do look great, so if i had to duplicate, this wouldnt be too bad of a way to go. But seriously, i hate that you beat me to the punch...

my other option is the wedsports sa-70's, anyone gonna buy those in the next few weeks to spoil my originality as well?

[Boother]

Just waiting for the winter to stop up here to put my 18" Ultraleggeras back on....here is a pic from October when I was test fitting them:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/mikestypes/100_1225.jpg

[SwampAss]

DOH! I almost went with the wedsports! :)

I wanted the ones they had on clearance for $299.00 a wheel but were sold out.

I almost got the Ultra's in gold. I wanted to go that route. My wife thought they'd be too baller. She's stupid anyway. I am thinking about selling her. Anyone in the market for a chick who's about 325lbs. on a good day? She's very nice, when she's not talking.

ha no thanks on the wife, although im a firm believer that big girls need lovin too.....

i hear ya on the color options. I keep going back and forth on the wedsports and o-z's. My friend says i need to find a bronze wheel. I would totally do the wedsports in bronze but they dont make them anymore. Gold is too flashy for me. I am having the debate of gunmetal or black on a black car....cant decide how it would look.

anyway u can photoshop ur car black with the oz's on it?

Where does she keep the 325, is it mostly up top or down low, or evenly distributed. Are you interested in trades, my wife weighs much less so I may throw in some kids to make it fair.

Could you now go out and stick some 245s on there and tell us what happens. Thx.

[tsunami]

jbiird my car is black with gunmetal wheels... its not a ms3 though you will get the idea... it also is a split 6 spoke so its close to what you are looking at..

oh and i love the way those look swamp... very very nice.

[SwampAss]

Does she cook? No she eats. That's her problem. it's mostly down low. Kinda like one of those inflatable bop bags that bitches at you for leaving your clothes on the floor. I don't want any more kids. I can't handle the 7 kids the state of VA says are mine as it is. NO MORE PATERNITY TESTS.

I'm gonna hold on to her til the winter months are through. I save a ton on heating bills.

BTW, I think I have room for atleast a 235. Maybe even the 245. (cool)

[meha11]

Man and i thought you were pulling our legs, i wonder why.

Red and black always looks good. Nice choice.

[Tengo]

dam swampass that looks really really hot, i love black on red! great choice

[SwampAss]

I had the wheel wells cut out. I am thinking the twinnies look too small. I need twinny fo shoes.





pssst...they are 18s

[MadOzodi]

O face. Did you see the Robot Chicken where the robot would hump the drying machine and the Herbie Beetle? I'm that robot and your car is the Herbie Beetle.

GAWD DAYUM that looks good.

I hate you all...lol

I really like being original, but there are so few wheels that I see (and can afford) that I actually like, can we get dibs system going here? haha

[nate0123]

lol guess I got punked

they look good, swamp!

[SwampAss]

Jbiird, if it's any consolation, 3 people at work have all told me my car doesn't look as good with the leggaras. 1 of those people is actually a car guy. I don't care. I think it looks pretty good.

[msp35]

Not a fan of black wheels, but it looks good.

[dcomiskey]

You know, I think you prob got the best looking wheel for the car SwampAss. I love those OZs, although I wouldn't get anything above 18s - but that's me because I go to the track a few times a year.

[SwampAss]

18s are almost too big IMO. 17s are the way to go. I didn't want to have to spring for tires also...only having 4000 on my stockers and all.

[dcomiskey]

Oh, I thought you had 20s on there.... True, 17s are actually the better option.

Edit: Checking TireRack now, and their site is annoying me. You can only select 18s or 19s and only ONE tire option. Ideally, I want 17s with Pilot Sport PS2s. (rant)

[jbiird317]

Yeah, I used to get that all the time when I put new wheels on my protege, you definitely have to do what you think looks best and forget about what other ppl think. I still am unsure what wheels to get, if at all. If I find a set I love and have to have them, then nobody here or elsewhere is gonna keep me from buying them.
(sorta like that AWESOME wing youve got! lol)

just saw the pics and those rims look sick as hell

[SwampAss]

I was just being stupid. That's a common occurance FYI.

[Olestra]

Bring back the donkey!

Nice wheels =D I love black rims.

[CTGrey02]

Glad I wasn't the only one, lol

[SwampAss]

fine!

Yup, the donkey is def better.

[meha11]

:eek: "Ass request fulfilled" Yikes, bad choice of words, sounds scary to me.

[Olestra]

"Ass request fulfilled"

LOL

Next mod should be Donkey decals. Maybe in the middle of those gold plated center wheel caps.

[SwampAss]

:eek: "Ass request fulfilled" Yikes, bad choice of words, sounds scary to me.
It's only scary the first time.(boom08)

[C'ville]

Am I missing something, besides a few brain cells.
Whats different about the wing?

What happened to your wing?
(uhm)

The key is to make it seem like an accident.

You had to be there.

[MadOzodi]

I would so rock a SwampAss donkey decal on my rear quarter window.

[APEXistud]

Damn, nice setup man. You had me worried about the 20's for a second there.

[MS3-oholic]

What is the offset and width of your new rims SwampAss? They look great by the way.

[SwampAss]

thanks. 18X8 48mm ET

[DeepBlue]

Do you guys think +42 offset would be too much on a Black MS3 GT? I found some nice wheels but the offset is +42. It is 18" x 8" wide.

I had them put one wheel & tire on my car and it looked really nice, it is less than a .50'" (.39") further out and does not rub anywhere.

[DeepBlue]

Ok here is my Black Beauty before and after new shoes.

[SwampAss]

Looks good. The wheels offset the black well.

[DeepBlue]

Looks good. The wheels offset the black well.


Thanks SwampAss, I likes too!

[redrims]

wait is that seriously what 20s look like on the MS3? those look like 18s max

My eyes see the same also. They look small for 20s. Maybe it's just the pics. (dunno)

Edit: Just finished reading the rest...lol

[Sveivo]

BTW, the O.Z.'s are way nice, which has been covered as well...
