auxilary Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 sounds like maybe they need to get rebalanced? maybe a wheel weight came off somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyman Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 They fit. What a shocker. Seems like everyone's getting these wheels...even me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeX Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 are these going to fit with a pretty low drop on the back? they seem to come right to the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB280ZT Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 The tire and rim combo look great but I have a few questions: 1 - What was the price for the rims? 2 - Where did you get them? 3 - Will they clear Wilwood 4 piston calipers and 12.2" rotors, without a spacer? I see you are upgrading from snowflake rims to these, I am currently running snowflakes and they require a 1/2" spacer to clear the calipers. Thanks HB280ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have a set of these just like Bubbles has posted pics of. These are 420 shipped from the group buy, I will sale mine for 320 shipped! They are still in the boxes not ever opened. Its a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyman Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Damn, I would have. But I just got mine from Next Level Motoring for $416 shipped, plus 30 for lugs. I hope they fit with a 2 inch drop. (lower than whats shown here...) I might have tucked tired with 50 series rubber, amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HB280ZT 1. depends on which wheel you get see group buy pages on this forum. (gold=more expensive if avaliable.) 2. Group buy here at hybridz 3. yes.

bubbleguinea Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 look in my sig.. yeah, MSA lowering springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My apologies you say youve got the MSA springs in your first post. Which MSA spring kit was is? They offer a few from what i remember (Ulness they have their own kit i dont know of?). Any rubbing issues with the rims? Im intresed in a very similar set up- the 16x8 sportmax with 225/50/16 azenis. Am just worried ill rub or something, plus i havent decided on what spring kit i want yet- A few posts have me considering the eibach and illumina set up.
