...The evil of the thriller!!

^ +1 now i am not saying stretch the tires but those look huge.
But ur car looks great besides that
just my.02

here r my RS's 15x8 215/45

[Asbradley21]

looks great! a little less sidewall with the same tread width would look good, but it hardly makes a difference. I love the look of a properly fitted tire.

Damn.. to much side wall Here's the Perfect size for them rims, and this go for the Gentleman above with the RS as well (Hartge 27) 195/45/15 would look tits and especially on the RS. thank me later!

Thanks guys. I probably would have gone for a smaller side wall if some 225/45s were avaliable, but 15" tires are almost impossible to find down here. Plus a skinnier tyre would only exagerate the fender gap in the rear.. Anyway there's nothing I can do about it now, It's not like I can swap them over haha. Tires aren't forever but I've commitied to these for now and I love them :p

You can't win everyone over haha.

By the way the front wheels weigh just under 13pounds. Never got a chance to measure the rears, but Just ad a couple extra pounds for the wider dish.

how long til they are paired with the mt1?

Well, I've just about finished primer. Paint will probably come with the next paycheack, I'm just ordering the mounting hardware now, so I guess It will take as long as it takes blunt to send me the gear haha

imo...205-55 all around. Nice car though!

(sorry for the double post!?!?)

I don't think it needs less tire. That shit looks mean - I love it.

[Bimmerista]

What brand wheels are they? Specs?

[Iain]

They are 15" Simmons V5 rims

Simmons = Aussie wheel company which shut down in March
V5s = fucking rare (NLA)

He's posted threads on them in Members Rides before, search his username and you'll find the specific info on the rebuild of them.



PS: I reckon this car is going to look fucking awesome with the MT1, new suspension and these rims.

Wicked. Thanks for the support man!

They are 15" Simmons V4 rims

Simmons = Aussie wheel company which shut down in March
V5s = rare (NLA)
V4s = fucking rare (NLA)

Fixed hehe.
V5=5 lug, V4=4 Lug, much harder to find esp in 4x100.

Thanks for the compliment Iain!

And here is the build thread:
