Swapped the 13s over yesterday for a set of 15x7 Superlites wrapped in some grippy Potenza GIIIs.

 

 

Only thing bad I can say about the combo at the moment is the weight of the wheels.

 

Still love them, handling has improved. :)

Superlights are nice wheels :)

looks neat love it. Want some ssr mesh rims (not sure on which ones yet) under the rolla but the superlites are really tempting aswell!

you'll be happy with the GIII's too.....i found them very grippy tyres...they don't wear out fast either.....the ones i had on my old rims are still going strong on another KE70

Wow! nice, any old pics to compare it to the new ones?

Hahah yeah, thats the first thing I thought when I stepped back after putting them on.

 

"... needs to be lower."

 

Xany - Its good to know they wear alright then, I've heard only good things about them. Hoping to get loads of street use and a few of track days out of them.

 

I'd still love to get an set of SSR's on it but I'll return to pouring money into other areas of the car.

 

Still might be repainting the centers charcoal/black... not sure.

 

Thanks for the comments. :)

 

Edit - and old picture!

Better picture of them.

 

 

Sad to part with them. I'll have to buy another KE70 to stick them on. :)

its just like my ke70, without the cancer !

 

Love the new wheels :)

hahaha, i want a handwritten "type-ahh" badge for my car too! :)

The superlites - are they the same rim as made by the brand PERFORMANCE???? They look similar?

Yep the Superlites are made by the Performance wheels bunch. Paint on them is crappy quality.

 

I swear that "Type ahhh" badge helped shave 3 seconds off my laps...

if you don't mind me asking what sorta $$$ did you pay for the rims and new or second hand?

Not a problem dude, rims were new. $528 for the set it cost me.

Was that price with tires?

You need to come and visit to collect your rollaclub sticker

p.s 15x6.5 / 15x7 is about optimum for a KE70, I noticed the difference going from 13's to 14's handling wise - all that sidewall flex. My next set will be 15x6.5 :)

Yeah looks tough mate good choice :n:

 

 

Slightly off topic, does anyone have an opinion on the idea of putting flares on a KE70/AE71 and in turn putting extra wide wheels on, wide enough to otherwise extend further than the normal edge of the body?

 

I reckon it would look tough as....
