onlytrueromeo wrote:^ Yes. Good plan.


I'd splurge and get the wheels that will hold their value. RPF1's and 949's are the strongest/lightest/best looking wheels except the SSR Comp C's and they're normally cheaper.


BTW, I might be moving to PA, granted if I did it'd be in the middle of nowhere Williamsport, PA but we might have to arrange some sort of meet.
haha you really would be in the middle of nowhere. But that's cool.. we could definitely have a meet! by that time I should be BP swapped :mrgreen:

edit:

btw, the local place I go to for stuff quoted me around 1,100 for 17-inch rims + tires. Good deal? I didn't pick a style, but the girl who I know there said we could discuss it more next saturday when I stop in to pick up some better door lock actuators (the ones I have don't work properly)

If you plan on driving the car hard or doing any autox, I wouldn't get 17's as they will be heavy and will bend easy since there is little rubber.

What type of rims are they?

Plus you got plenty of room to see your cross-drilled rotors and powder-coated calipers through those 10-spoke.... (hint hint) :D

Wait till december... the PF01 will be released next month... looks sweet and light as hell. No idea what the price will be but I'd wait a few more weeks just to find out.

Well after much thought about it today, I have decided to wait on the rims. First, the winter is nearing, and they will be useless to me for that time. Second, Even if I got the rims, I still need some good rubber. And third, the money I save by not getting the rims and tires can be used to finish up my BP swap (just need to save up for some parts SuperK will be getting me). So yeah.. sorry rims, the motor and speed comes first!
