So yes or no.....
 
Got an offer for rims and tires for $950.
Axis Crux 19" x 8"
2 5/8" lip
http://abc.eznettools.net/adaptivest...s-crux_blk.jpg

for this, mine is darker gray, like the S2000 but this is the best picture I could find, it's not mine.
And I used my Paint skills.....I like them, but not sure.

Thinking of getting Tein S-techs, 2.5 drop ($150 :y), or their coilovers 3.5 drop ($950 :-\). Or eibach sports, 2.5 drop($225 :-X).

Re: So yes or no.....
 
I think you need to use your paints skills on the first post you had of your actual element, because I think the darker grey panels would look better with those wheels. Then we'd have a better representation of what it might look like.

I dunno about dropping it though.

Re: So yes or no.....
 
what wheels do you have right now? i dont want to go search for your original thread because im to lazy and cant remember what they looked like. but i would go for something cheaper but thats just me. its tires and a rim. not a great deal but if there both new its a buy, but not a deal. cant you pick up some rota's and tires for cheaper then that?

Well of course I did. I also put a DVD/MP3/monitor touchscreen. Well got a busted one from my uncle for $300, he had a repair/replace warranty. Went to circuit city, they game me a brand new one, $900 or so, I guess kinda free, to me anyways.

I think I might put this thing on the bottle, just because i can. Now I've never had nitrous so not sure how it will work, without messing anything up, just incase I need to use the warranty...

I'll try to find the other thread with my picture, it's really bad quality, phone camera.

The car is a darker grey.

I like, but not 100% sure. I guess I'll check them in person and see what they look like.

Ebay has some for arounf $950 with not tires, maybe add $450 for tires, anyhow that's what I would be saving around $500

Re: So yes or no.....
 
eh i'm not fond of the silver rims. you should put on some 19/20 inch mesh rims O0

oh yeah and I'd stay away from those tiens s-tech springs or whatever, a LOT of them are fake and for that price they are most likely fake.

Re: So yes or no.....
 
yep, black might've been ok, but with just the silver, save your money...

Re: So yes or no.....
 
those are too ummm gangstaish and nigish. Something you'd see on some big athlete's SUV or car or something. Just look too ricey. Now the 4 spoke axis would look cool. Why do you want something with a big chrome lip and has the multipiece look rim?

all the wheels on this page are ugly, imo. Stock wheels are the best looking wheels you're going to find for it. 99% of after market wheels look trashy.

Re: So yes or no.....
 
Nice.....thanks for the help.

I went to see them, tires where crap and 35 series, the rims where on a TL dropped with no camber kit. I told the guy I found them on ebay, i really did, brand new for $918 shipped, no tires, but still the tires where done for, He did not want to go down, I would have payed maybe $650 for them, but they just didn't look right for the car. I actually did put one rim one :-X :-X :-X :-X.

No Murdoc some of those do look nice. and buk that silver one is cool. Where did you find it? Did they have any specs on the springs or coilovers?..


On the cheap teins, their website has a way to id them as being knockoffs or not. But you can still get screwed I guess......

I'm just going to wait and see, get the right ones not just because they are cheap, but because they look right.

Then again I'm thinking of buying a house, so these might have to wait now, a long long time. Gotta sell more stickers now ;) :-[

not hooking up, just rims, maybe. Right now I'm making mature :-\ :-X decisions. So that's it. Subaru is going to go down ASAP. everything is coming out. Back to stock and selling for what I owe. That's around 13k. I had fun, it's time to do some other things in life. I can always get a cheap honda later to play with. Integra needs to go too. I don't need 3 cars. I can pay for them, but don't need them.
