Looking into getting some P45R's, they're becoming my new fav. thanks to Yama.

I just can't get excited about Saleens. :( Probably because I see too many Mustangs on the road period.
Understood, but they never looked so good until they were bolted to a 3s.Quote:

Major pitting on those wheels. My polished aluminums on my old 3S did the same thing. Won't go back to that finish again because of it.Quote:

My 18" 265ish tire selection is kind of slim. I have some 245/45/17 NT555R drag radials with one that has a hole in the sidewall. I've heard they're not the best at hooking up. I could pick up a replacement tire for cheap but 245 isn't very wide at least I don't care for the 245 summer tires on my car now.
Hoosier has a 17" slick. More sidewall the better for going in a straight line.

If you are getting drag radials you wont need a lot of width. Broomfield was cutting 1.4x 60's at NG with 7" slicks. Get the lightest 17x8's you can and put the M&H's on them. That would be my choice if I was going for a drag package.
Wouldn't a 28" slick be too tall?Quote:

No, Hoosier has a 275/40r17 now.
I foresee broken metal on both of our cars now :lol:
Yup...there will be broken shit:

There is also the 26x7r17 Mickey Thompson slicks that are the same width that Dave was running at NG cutting 1.4's.
You could run a narrower/lighter wheel then.

I like the colors of the grids and the style grows on me a little. I guess the only way I liked the TE37s some was with a heavy concave shape to it. Otherwise they look kind of boring. I'd run a skinny slick and wheel but I don't know what would clear my Stoptechs which would be one hold up.
Which stoptech kit? 332's will fit under a 17" wheel.
Jason
The Grids and P45R are supposed to be better at fitting under BBKs since they have more offset clearence farther away from the hub.
If and when I buy rims it will be the P45's in Hyper Black! :drool:
Loved the look on both Ryan's and Yama's cars.
I wouldn't mind a hyperblack set of p45r's either.
332s yes. When I was checking the Enkei's with the template it was so close to the wheel weights stuck on the inside of the barrel that it could possibly rub. I'm sure it was fine. The barrel design didn't help either. The 17" FN01RCs had more clearance but I sold those wheels. I think I may go with a set of 18s for the 265 Hankook tires I have here and then maybe next year a set of 17s with some slicks for the track. I need to do a full restoration underneath plus a full 5-speed swap before I hit the track. My 3rd gear grinding 6-speed right now is unbraced plus I much prefer the 5-speed. I already got a Quaife front diff now if only I can splurge for the SCE center diff too. :)Quote:

Until I saw the gloss black/blue combo on a few cars I liked it but the blue is too much/ricey looking. I can't decide if I like the matte black or gunmetal color better on a white stealth. They're pricey wheels too ~$2k so they'd have to be my full-time wheels if I was going to justify that much. I want to keep the GT-Cs though plus have a 17" wheel with slicks. Decisions... and money. :p

Maybe I'll wait until someone on EvoM posts up a set for sale.
That evo is tuff. And the torque, grids, and p45rs are affordable But every other set of wheels posted aren't lol. Advans and te37s are like 1k a wheel .

I'm thinking I should keep the 17" wheels for future use. $1k in slicks I'll have to think about if I don't see more than a few track visits a year. That seems kind of silly.
I'm still definitely getting a set of 18s.
Anyone else? I sold a few parts so I'm contemplating getting some wheels but it isn't at the top of my list right now given I have pretty decent tread on my 19" tires still. I may do Ray's head lift fix and get the DR-950 rebuilt.
I had found another 95 RT/TT pearl white just like mine locally that needed a VCU, clutch, and rocker panel 80k miles for $2500 but it looks like someone else snatched that up, DR-750s, 3SX Stage III heads, Brian Crower stroker, and a few other mods for $5k and some change not exactly sure so I'll probably end up getting a set of wheels sooner than later.
Hyperblack P45r all day long...

...only pic i can find since webshots jacked up my sig :p
I love P45R's but alot of people are getting them. Yamah and Shmoo (I think that's his name) were the first I saw who had them. I'm not trying to jack their style but MAYNE those rims are sexy. I can find some of these...
http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...psbdb81d2c.jpg
Greddy/GPSport Gravity Gullflames in 18x9.5 I'd get them instead.
GReddy GravityGullflame18x9.5 Gravity Gullflame Wheel 18x9.5 5x114.3
For right now If I get the cash I'm giving it a month of searching then I'm getting me some P45R's in Hyperblack.
Webshots didn't jack it up, it's too big, lol. Looks nice though :)Quote:

Those are pretty nice, car is pretty sweet also. I’ve wanted one for a long time. I will get one someday and TT that bitch. lolQuote:

Not many people like the fake two piece look but I've always liked it (real and fake). I've looked for a NSX a lot and I was surprised to see there was a quite a few TT's out there. I'd like to build one up myself though.Quote:
