Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
I need tires pretty bad. I've got baldies right now, and I may as well get some pretty summer rims while I'm at it.
My car is black.
My budget is hopefully < $1000 CAD.
I'm getting Rekognize's suspension set up:

I will be most likley using this place:
http://www.kaltire.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They carry:
-Core Racing
-Klasse Motor
-Street Gear
I'm thinking 16's or 15's.
Any suggestions?
Here's a few I like so far:
Core Racing:
-Evo 7 (maybe a bit too open)
-Super-Lite (too boring)
Street Gear:
-Black Widow (too many spokes, imagine cleaning that)
The other place in town is Fountain Tire:
Motegi Tracklite 2
Motegi FF7
MSR style 043
I'll go ask them for a catalogue.
And I'm hearing 215/45/16 ish.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
16x7 or 16x8 w/ +35-38 4x100
Try to go light, but you won't find light for cheap. I suggest going silver or nickel, only certain black rims look nice, I prefer black w/ a polished lip if you are going that way.
Beware of 16x7 non light rims, they will be significantly heavier than the 5 spoke GS rims.

The more I look at the bottom one, the more I'm reminded of Transformers. Haha.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
I guess you skipped over the price range thing eh?
Plus shipping... $1600
I'm shooting for < 15lbs. Thats all, really. I can't imagine any rim would break during normal cornering, that would just be pathetic. So unless I slam a curb, I should be okay in the strength department.

Set of rims im looking at right now: Motegi FF7's
http://media.photobucket.com/image/mote ... www047.jpg
Please do not go chrome
IMO chrome does not look good on imports
Black, Gun Metal, Silver and even bronze
any of those with a polished lip would look amazing on the mx3

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
Nope on the chrome bud! The bottom ones are nicer. However If you could bump your price range up a bit your options would multiply. haha you think that many spokes is bad, try having 100 per wheel!!!!!

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber

Nicer or Ricer?

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
Man, powdercoating a wheel completely changes it's appeal.

Re: Ryan is soon getting wheels and rubber
REVIVE!
okay, I actually have the money, and today my baldies nearly killed me.
I want to spend AROUND 1000 CAD for both wheels and tires together.
Suggestions?
