manahoonie 04-18-2006 10:34 PM

what's the blue thing?

ncirom2003 04-18-2006 10:36 PM

its blue anodized aluminum cap. and he should be hesitant to use them because theyre known to oxidize and rust, bonding with the threads and impossible (literally) to remove.

dp_yz713 04-18-2006 10:37 PM

nice. car pics now!

That blue thing u see is a lug nut lol, i just wanted to see if i liked em on my car...which i do, i just bought gorilla lugs just to test them out they were like $35, but im a invest in some rays engineering nuts, the ride is shitty because of the vibration so i need to get Hub Centric Rings ASAP, i will post pics in the morning, its night time over here..

The rims are 16" got them from jlbmotorsports.com for $490 shipped, tires were $315 shipped from tirerack and the lugs are gorilla lugs ( temporary ) from Summit Racing.

blouisgod 04-19-2006 09:46 AM

gorilla lugs will not lock up or seize, but they will lose their luster, but for 30 bucks what do you want? and the paradas look nice, just lower it :D

DaMadScientist 04-19-2006 09:53 AM

Anyone know how to get my wheel caps on for the back wheels, if you look at the last pic, that gold thing in the center is blocking me.

dp_yz713 04-19-2006 09:57 AM

dont see why it shouldnt pop on over it. mines does.....:shrug:

DDragon7 04-19-2006 09:57 AM

Those wheels look so small.

They're 16's brotha, i have a small budget since im a 18 yr old lol.

gearbox 04-19-2006 10:17 AM

its a good size, just needs lowering. and bigger wheels kill acceleration

Nodnero 04-19-2006 11:36 AM

One way to handle the rear golden dome is:
Take the rear wheels off of the car
Wrap the rear drums in newspaper and tape it down around the dome
Flat black (Or gloss becuase of your wheels) spray paint lightly

Dont get to carried away becuase of the proximity to painted surfaces.

vacivic2005 04-19-2006 11:41 AM

i love circuit 10's, why did you have to get so low profile tires? it ruined it. so did the lugnuts. red or black would be better.

i'm getting circuit 10s in flat black soon, 16s w/45-55 series (not sure yet) tires.

gaugeof12 04-19-2006 12:05 PM

I am pretty sure that the "carbon fiber" rota center caps will fit. They are domed specificaly for this reason.

DaMadScientist 04-19-2006 12:14 PM

If i did a rear disc brake conversion, it'd get rid of the goldren dome of DOOM !!!...or no lol

greenEX 04-19-2006 12:20 PM

you should have gone with a little bigger tire. Even with a drop I dont think it will look right. A 205/40/16 will cut it on an EG hatch but not our big cars. You should have looked into a 50 sidewall, at least a 45.

Diego121 04-19-2006 12:29 PM

those look likme my R1 GTR10's ! nice..but you really need to drop that car

DDragon7 04-19-2006 12:36 PM

Yeah, I ment that the tires was a bit small.
