New rims

[turbo_rolla]

Thanks Teddy! SHould look better when it drops an inch or so in a couple of weeks! :jamie: Thought about bolt on flares, but this guy in adelaide does all 4 corners for about $350 or so (of AE86dc). If i could get them for the right price i'd consider them though ;) Think the going price is like $250-$300/pair or something isnt it (or am i completely off the mark???). I'd love some 10's on the back, but the little 4k has enough trouble spinning the 7's as it is! :dance:

4AGZE it. You know you wanna..... then you wont have any problems :jamie:

 

Nice supercharged motor there ;)

Ha, i'd love to get a gze into it mate, but i don't see that happening without a lotto win (damn buying a house ;)). Biggest I'm considering at the moment is a 5k that i might be looking at tomorrow, but that's a whole other matter, not appropriate for this thread! This thread is about PHAT ke70's, with hopefully mine included :jamie:

[Raven]

And i must say yours looks pretty sweet ;) Rims definately made a change thats for sure.

 

If u need a hand to bolt in another motor on a weekend, and you live not so far away, message me. :jamie:

[turbo_rolla]

Yeah, big change from the stockies thats for sure (handling as well - no more screeching going through round abouts @ 20km/h ;)). Wasnt really keen on hotwires but I'm happy i got em. Might paint the centres black though as discussed in the other thread, but i've got heaps of other stuff i need to get done to it with the suspension. I'm up north mate (surrey downs). Thanks for the offer :jamie: My mate is keen on rollas too (had a ke30, now has a GTR - hmmmm, slight upgrade), so he's gonna help me out, but we'll see how it goes.

Nice and close. I'm in Salisbury East. I used to work at the BP on Golden Grove Road from 2002-2004. I probably would have served you at some point haha.

 

Anyway, back on topic.....

[Andrew Ryan]

Damn you guys are fast.

 

I'm thinking about going about 8.5 wide which seems the general average for the sorta rims I'm after, should look pretty phat with the flared guards and whatnot.

 

This is really the best picture I have of my rims, I need a better one, that could be a project for tomorrow.

[Raven]

Andrew_Ryan: You should consider painting the spokes and centres black and polishing the rest.

 

Would look sweet! ;)

Damn, that'd look sweet mate! Any idea when ya looking to get it done cause I'm hanging out to see a ke70 with 8.5's on it! :dance:

I agree raven.....do it andrew, and i'll see how it looks and do mine too if it comes up alright :dance:

[Andrew Ryan]

Um, a few months yet. I'm only an L plater right now so mods aren't really of any urgence..hehe.

[turbo_rolla]

Yeah, probably a good point mate! :dance:

 

I'm goin to lonsdale u-pull-it early tomorrow so i'll catch up on this tomorrow boys!

[Drift Donkey]

Would you classify this as sticking out past the guards? :dance:

my old ke with 13x8 -20 rims

Yeah, somehow think you won that one donkey :dance: Gather a bit of guard work would've had to be done, or did ya jack the thing off its tits? :D

[jamesrolla]

i don't think that it matters about tyres out of gaurds if its just the side walls and not any of the tread,

 

those wheels on both those cars don't stick out much even the last pic, i had 10 inch wide formula 2 steele wheels and slicks on the back of my ke11, they were like 5 inchs out of the gaurds, looked wicked because they had so much dish and thaey are only steelies

 

cheers
