New wheels, off a 98 RS "Heritage" Rally spec. Got 5 of em, yes 5 for 750 clams wrapped in RE730 Summer tires. I HAD to put them on and see how they looked, will switch back to my M+S rubber in a few days. Seeing as how I forked out 625 bucks a few weeks ago for *just* four tires I think its a pretty good bargain. 60k tuneup behind me, nothing till 100k. My tuner said the mechanicals were excellent and my driving style is about spot on for the tune of the car. I'm such a proud dad

Aren't those a little low pro for rally?

If I find the thing I will send you a link to a rally tire supplier that has pretty good prices (just to check out I am sure you know of a few).

Looks sweet though, and it is always nice to have a spare set of rims around.

"Today I am in a Gold rim kind of mood..."

Congrats

<wow, can't beleive I found it that fast (well at all actually). Tire page and their rally team page

they have some bad *** cars like

I have three sets. I'm such a moron.....

I don't rally. My car has been lowered and the coilovers are tuned for asphalt. It will currently rip your head off in a turn, sick sick sick grip. I'm scared of it at the limit, if it lets go, you have enough speed to really do some damage.

Adjustable coil overs? How much work goes into switching back and forth between asphalt tuning and dirt tuning? Not saying you should do it at all, just curious. People have tendency to thing it is a Subby rally car and you can blast through the dirt all day. They don't think about the fact that the cars that do that usually get worked on about every half hour to hour worth of driving, and nobody does that with a personal car. Fun rally cars, practical for people to race on dirt roads-NO

When is the Banjo friendly roll cage going in?

Yeah adjustible, just not quickly. I'd have to get an alignment or take the time to do it myself. I have about 4 inches of suspension height to play with, I like playing around in gravel some, but it destroys paint. Work? Eh, about 60 bucks for a computer alignment, or an hour of my time. I run some high-dollar summer tires and I get ticked when the alignment goes wonky, so I tend to just carve up asphalt. I have more fun twisty roads here to act like a hooligan on than I know what to do with.

nice rims, I like the bronze JDM YO!

Not redneck enuff, I'm thinkin 100 spokes or Turbines with mudders


Keep them new shoes on the blacktop and not it the air

Lookin' good! I like the gold too


Just had the TMIC off my wife's '04 wagon looking for a boost leak. Turns out the MAF was coated with oil from the K'N filter... doh

Brembo,
That sounds like a pretty winning setup for Solo2 racin' in the STX class. Or maybe Street modified (thought I remember you had a turbo kit on there)?

I'm a bit too modded for auto-x, I'd be in some super-duper class and get my butt smoked. I'm just a hooligan.
