GSX_TC's Galant VR4 Build Thread #550/2000 (Samara)

Mike you better go with 8.5" wide rims and no less! The current rims you're rocking reminds me of a guy who skips leg day /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[coyotes]

What are the specs of the wheels you want to run and what size tires?

The size tires are fine on the Evo X wheels. You just need to roll your inner fender lips and add a bit of camber. You don't even need to raise the car. If the wheels rub on the inside use a mallet to bonk the inside of your wheel wells in a bit. Simple. I wouldn't go with a smaller side tire, it's unnecessary.

Quoting fuel:
I think black centers with polished lips on a black car look great.



They all look terrible on a VR4, stock wheels aside.

 

[slugsgomoo]

I highly recommend the MR BBS's, I think they'd look awesome with a NB car.

 

[362Ryan]

+1 on the MR BBS's

 

[Wookalar]

Mike should get Advan wheels to go with his Advan fender stickers.

 

[GSX_TC]

Yeah I should haha, but I have something to replace that once I get around to redoing the paint.

 

[slugsgomoo]

get the split 3 spokes...






wait, don't do that, they are f***ing hideous. But so much JDM street cred yo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowrofl.gif

Quoting coyotes:
I think that looks 1000x better than your old wheels. Keep em on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif



Totally agree.

If you're going to get bbs get rgr's. Those lm's out there are wack. These are probably too small for your brakes but I really want to try a set of gtr wheels. They are 17 x 9 +30.

 

[coyotes]

Those hypersilvers look amazing ^


I still think the Evo Xs are the best option posted in this thread so far though.

Commmmmmmon, they're not THAT bad. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

 

[15psi88]

Yes, they are.

 

[MellowVR4]

I remember when those rims were hott. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

 

[slugsgomoo]

They were never hot, even in the mid 90's, just like NEEPERS. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflpuke.gif

 

[G]

Lol @ neepers.

 

[mitsuturbo]

Rg2 is what you need.

Wait. No. That's what I want.

 

[GSX_TC]

Well guys, progress is happening, I asked around and someone locally has some EVO X GSR wheels without tires for 300 picked up, so I'm gonna pick those up this Sunday. Now I just gotta get the right tires, then have the fenders rolled then finally install my BC racing Coilovers and raise the height up a bit. Then send the brackets and calipers to Justin at Detective Coatings to have them rebuilt and powder coated.

 

[turbowop]

That's cheap as f***. I'm jelly.

 

[GSX_TC]

Wow that's an honor to have ole wop jelly! Thanks mark!
