Great fit...

LOL. What the fuck? Since when is a 0 offset "Great fit!"?

Did I miss the last round of the R3v crack pipe?

Your car is like mine. At night it looks like bronzit, but day is silver. Ahhhh. oh well nice pics.

Who said anything about a "0" offset? Mine are et15 and those wheels come in a variety of offsets..
Anyways, we all get that you dont like the wheels!. Calm the fuck down and go increase your postcount somewhere else. Lets get this back on subject.... View the pics.... and move on!. Maybe I get butthurt a little easy but fuck man, this is my hobbie, not my career!.

Yours are ET15, Ryan? I had no idea, I was wondering why they didn't stick out as far as everyone else's.

[E30Idea]

Indeed they are! and you know what, I would buy them again and again. They are great wheels. I will tell you where I went wrong though. 15''. I should have gone 16''.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Looks cool man!

[drifty340i]

Im not hater of sportsmax wheels, if they in the right offset its all good imo

[4ce30]

I dont give a fuck, im doing et15 front et0 rear in 16's sooner or later, how can you pass the deal of a light wieght, cheap, good looking wheel with a nice polished lip? Keep up the work bro.

P.S. No one better snatch up my idea of the 15-0 setup or ill fuck some shit up.... seriously....haha

I like it, and I usually hate cars with the bumper trim body color, but for some reason, it looks ok on your car.
keep the sportmaxx wheels, the konig remembers are the real enemy. the sportmaxx wheels actually look tough with the low offset, the remembers just look fake, cheap, and small.

some cool shots too.

Awwww, come on Mike, don't be such a hater. I wish I could afford a real set of RS's, but spending $2k on wheels is just out of the question.

And they look anything but cheap, fake and small.

[DarkWing6]

I agree with Mike. In most cases I am not a fan of the body color trim, but it flows with your car. Get a rear apron (I know, it has been said). Body color on the i lip might even be cooler than the is just cause it will flow with the height of the skirts, but both will probably be cool. Also, get something to fill your front valance.

All in all, the car looks good and they are some cool shots.

Thanks guy's! I have an "is" lip that I am painting now and I think it will look kick ass. I also have car Carbon Fiber Ryan G style splitter so I am stoked to get all this done. I will get some new shots up this weekend when I get it all installed

I'm not hating Josh, just messing with you. Your wheels are nice looking- and 1000000000times nicer than the Borbets. But I do think the remembers do look small, and i guess that is why i like the sportmaxx wheels so much- they have that FAT dish look to them.

you planning on filling the holes on your valance with anything?

That's my only real gripe with them, I just wish they were wider with more of a lip.

.....you planning on filling the holes on your valance with anything?

So the pics are not great but while its apart in the garage I thought I would show you what will fill the front valance since I cut it all up. Try to keep in mind I still need to finish the triming. This is just the first cuts.

First, here is the front of the car with the hole for the intercooler


Second is the intercooler that will fill it. I got it new from my buddy. It is a stock EVo9 FMIC. I had the end tank spouts re-welded to be straight out instead of a 45 degrees like they are stock. The whole in the front valance is an exact fit to the FMIC. Not a single part of the fins will be covered and not a 1/4 inch of endtanks will be seen. All fins and all business!! :pimp:

Here is the 2.5 inch stainless IC piping that I am using. I also have SAMCO couplers and T-bar clamps in there. Just got them to my house tonight!

And last is my Carbon Fiber splitter that will set the front end off with my "is" lip. I am really excited to get this on! I have the lip in the booth drying as I type. It will be color matched as well.
