Thread: Finally...wheels and tires

  1. #1

    Talking Finally...wheels and tires (now w/ pictures)

    After sitting in various places around the homestead for almost a month, it looks like I'll finally be able to get my new wheels and tires on the car!

    I think I chose well. Opinions?



    Wheels are 15x7 Motegi Traklite 2.0 in a colour I've only seen on eBay (and cheaper than Tire Rack, too). Offset is 35mm. I'm sure most will recognize the 'kooks.

    Can't wait for the drive home tomorrow!

    Here are some 'after' pics:



    Big thanks to BAM! for fitting my rollerskate into his busy Wednesday schedule!!

    Very Nice!!...I've been Eye-Ball'n those traklite 2.0's too. I like the way they look on the MX-5's
    Blah blah blah!

    Congrats, I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

    How's the Sl33per doing? Do you still get to drive it?

    Aww, you remember me yapping about the wagon?
    Working on the Haltech's tune, needs new injectors (current ones are too slow) and a larger turbine section to maintain boost above 6psi (shooting for a daily 12psi).
    Should see the dyno for final tune in a month or so...I hope.

    The wagon, however, will not be getting cool wheels this time, though. I'm saving money for choice parts to go on the red rollerskate.

    Whoah there, chief... I thought the rollerskate was supposed to be the beater!

    (BTW, I drove C-Balls's car the other night and it felt pretty strong on maybe 5-lbs of boost... obviously not nearly as frightening as it used to be, but still, 10-12 lbs oughta be a hoot!)

    I've seen those wheels live and in person, and they are SWEET!

    BTW... are you selling your KYB shocks or just selling the springs? I forget... my mind seems to be slipping...

    It was supposed to be the beater. That plan went by the wayside last summer, though.

    As re: AGX, check out your WTB thread.
