Got new Wheels!!!

[TX2000]

At last got my new 17" wheels...
what you think?

[bluntman]

Nice. What size is the rubber?

[TX2000]

the tires are Falken ZIEX512 205/40ZR17

[3junky]

Thats one way to get rid of the break dust issue!

[dulog]

I like that design. Where'd you get them, do they come in silver too?

[mEtHoDySt]

are you missing your side skirt pkg?

[Rock]

Besides the fact that everybody has that design? I like it!

Nice choice in rubber, the ziex will treat you well!!!!

[dominoy2k1]

eww i dont like the wheels. also tires are kinda small arent they? i have some nittos the same size and the ride is rough.

[goldwing2000]

the tires are Falken ZIEX512 205/40ZR17

You went with a smaller tire than stock?

That explains why it looks... odd. Your speedometer is going to be WAY off. 6.4%, to be exact.

Glad you didn't go with 5-spokes, though! (2thumbs)

[TX2000]

is just a tad smaller than stock... the speedo will be off for like 4 mph so isnt that much.. now i really need to lower it .. hehe goint to get my springs this monday (nana)

[Mikey444]

nope your speedometer is going to be way off like goldwing said. You should of got Toyo proxes tire, stock size or at least went with the same tire you have on now but with P215/45 R17

Those wheels are nice, but EVERYONE has them.

[TX2000]

i can live with that.. when im going 100mph im actually going 94 .. isnt that bad.....

[goldwing2000]

i can live with that..

That's all that matters.

On the plus side, you'll accelerate quicker with less rotating mass.

[rum]

are those the motegi mr7's? if so i ordered those a week ago but 18".

[Mikey444]

That's all that matters.

On the plus side, you'll accelerate quicker with less rotating mass.
Yea but on the negative side, the extra mileage will kill the resale value of his car.

[TX2000]

well i think that car will die with me.. (not that im goind to kill myself in it heheh)

but yeah i can feel it accelerating faster .. or maybe is my butt dyno...

[prboy3]

Very Nice, Where did you ordered from?
By any chance do you live in Monte Claro, Bayamon, PR?

Take Care,

As long as your happy with it and the mods you make, that's what all counts in the end.

[TX2000]

hmmm... ok with those new tires my car droped 1.5 inches and im thinking to install the eibachs, that will add 1.2 more so it will be 2.7" to the ground.. i need to consider that or get new tires :(

[ChopstickHero]

That's all that matters.

On the plus side, you'll accelerate quicker with less rotating mass.
those are heavy ass rims... i think each rim itself weighs over 22lbs then add tires. i'm sure the stock rims don't weigh that much.

[goldwing2000]

those are heavy ass rims... i think each rim itself weighs over 22lbs then add tires. i'm sure the stock rims don't weigh that much.

Actually.... yeah, they do. That's exactly what the stock rims weigh.

His rims don't look that heavy, though. What makes you say they're 22 lbs?

*edit*
Just checked the specs. Shipping weight is 22 lbs but that includes packaging. The wheels themselves are probably only 19-20 lbs.

[TX2000]

ok i just ordered my eibachs ... ETA 1 month .. ewwwww
anyways ill keep yall updated... .. i hope i dont mess my car hehehe

[goldwing2000]

So what make and model are those wheels, anyway??

[TX2000]

1137-8737 #17 eagles... got em cheap :)

[goldwing2000]

Cool. You 're not having any problems with the 40mm offset?

[IllBinfrontofya]

holy shit, those rims are the exact ones i had on my Civic HB! mine where 16" though. APC or CPC or something like that

[TX2000]

no problems with the offset :)
