pics or it didn't happen...lmao....

So about the steering wheel...i just need the momo hub and then i can pick whatever wheel right? I like some of the momo's but they're expensive. I've never purchased a steering wheel before, are there any out there in the 100-175 range that's good that people have? I need a new shift knob too because it comes off during shifting...lmao

Idk what it is about the IS-F but it is so sexy


But this wheel is super sick and would look good in the e30 in suede:)

Mine's pretty small (12 inches)

i like it more than the original though. The only problem is that it blocks the speedometer.
OP: I recommend that you buy these wheels. They look really nice and easy installation. Pretty good price as well.

sorry I just assumed you had alot of money on account of your isf and aspirations to buy a gt3 by the time your 30

[GOT8SPD]

ok let me rephrase that...250 a wheel for a car i paid $2500 for is expensive...hahahhaha

[leland21]

very good platform to start with, a lot of potential to become an amazing car.

lol you don't want to know my ratio...

lol you don't want to know my ratio...

I feel wheels are one of those things that take your car to the next level. So if your car looks good already....body work is perfect, interior, etc, then you put some high end wheels (BBS, HRE, Volk, whatever), then that's like the icing on the cake. But right now, the state that my car is at doesn't justify high end wheels (or even 1000 dollar set of wheels)

I've only had the car a little over 2 weeks...who knows...might be a phase and i end up not liking it (which i don't think will happen)...or maybe something major happens...tranny dies, engine dies...whatever...that will slow down the project or i'm not able to continue with it.

pleaaaassee dont get the cup kit.


just go coil overs, you'll thank me in the end.

car looks like a clean start

[gtdragon980]

^ Listen to this guy
Cup kits are too low for how soft they are...you don't want to end up ruining your oil pan.
As for the car, nice score!

That's a good attitude. If you don't know the car's history, you're probably better off being conservative. Car looks like a good buy though.

IS F is a niiiiice ride. Heh, if you where in WA, I'd pester you to give me a ride ;)

[RainierHooker]

Nice rides you have there.
I went the route of nice-but-not-my-favorite-wheels when I got my e30. Now i'm into about 1200 bucks for the wheels and tires that I've craved for, which I haven't even mounted yet (they still need paint, polish and primping). I shoulda just kept my bottle caps 'till I knew exactly what I wanted, and from now on, I'm a buy-once-cry-once wheel buyer.

[lonestar22]

we pretty much both just bought the same e30. the only difference i see is mine has a tan interior

Sweet jesus that TL is sexy
