No More small Borbets!

clean looking, but too tucked in for me... i like flush looking, 15x8.5 et14 is perfect...


how do you like your Falken Azeni's 512s (i noticed your tire's tread pattern)? i thought they were already discontinued...

[Jbpka06]

They are discontinued, I picked them up like 4 months ago on discounttiredirect for $32 a piece.

I haven't really tried them out but I'm not really expecting too much.

yeah, i've only tried them on a nissan s13 at a gymkhana event here in socal, but mostly drifting... they are sticky for a little bit, then they get hella gummy... it's the cheapest tires close to those falken 615; i wish they still made them, $32 per tire brand new? you can't beat that... those are like drift tires for me for at least 6 events 'cuz treadwear is like 300, right?

[Jbpka06]

yeah i think the treadwear is like 300

they still have the 512's with free shipping and $100 off instantly

Sweet. Did you use new bolts when you polished the lips?

[Jbpka06]

yeah i bought new bolts from black forest industries.

One of the tires is leaking air from where i sealed the wheel together but that should be an easy fix.

[E30trash]

fuck, now i gotta get rs's :)

[Jbpka06]

I was thinking about color matching the centers :D

[Tree18is]

e30's are pretty sweet.

.......and he says it so non-chalantly..."summer wheels"............ :D :D

[skota]

Actually they wouldn't, they would become 15x8.5 ET19, and would need small spacers to clear the struts (5mm).

Looks great as is to me, nice and clean.

I am a little confused on how putting wider lips on would move the barrels any closer to the struts , I would think if the barrels clear now then he would run the same spacer with wider lips to get a more flush look , is that not correct? Either way , nice looking wheels , but more flush would look even better.

[Jbpka06]

well they wont bolt up right now because they are et38, so they will stay the same amount away from the strut. I have a 15mm spacer now.

Damn I was pretty close though... Oh yeah I forgot to take off for the original 1/2" lip. Still those would look sick with bigger lips! :D

As the OP stated, they already need spacers.
