I really like the look of the EKM3's, but two things would keep me from purchasing a set. 1) They're made in China (most of Enkei's offerings, including their OEM wheel designs, are made in Japan) 2) The weight. I think your wheels clock in at around 25lbs each without the tire. Good looking, though.

Those were my two main concerns as well. I figured this is a daily driver and not a racing or track car or anything so the weight and origin of manufacturing really isn't an issue since I won't be doing anything to stress the wheels. I really really like the Enkei Nt03+M wheels. Super light and so ugly they are awesome, just a bit expensive like the rpf1's. e. Does AI have a wheel megathread? Might be cool to start one and give the low down on manufacturers, offsets, etc. Weezy88 fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jun 9, 2009 |

But I'm really digging the Galaxy Grey, hell I'm really digging the car as a whole. Every time I look at it out the window, I want to run out and go for a drive. I didn't even know how to drive stick before I bought it.

Weezy88 posted:adjustable dampening I see you run JDM coilovers since they seem to get wet a lot. It'd probably be best to not tell owners their suspension have adjustable damping, because most people aren't even smart enough to pick the right word on what their suspension does, less set it up to do anything other than be slammed. You can be assured your can handles slower in an autocross than stock, if you care. If not, its a nice drop, although to me it looks a little too much like vacuum cleaner driving around.

B&G is actually German. Dunno if you seriously don't know what dampening control on a coilover is but w/e. e. nice edit? Oh I see now. Lordy forgive me for calling it dampening. That means I don't know what it does! Like I said previously I do not care about racing or autocross. I did it because I think it looks good.

Weezy88 posted:Oh I see now. Lordy forgive me for calling it dampening. That means I don't know what it does! That is pretty much true, certainly so for any Japanese suspension product that uses a word talking about water rather than slowing bumps. Check eBay for a chuckle, dampening in an ad is the mark of true garbage and even the expensive poo poo says it and from what I've read damping and dampening are totally different words in Japanese, and cetainly German. Anyway, The intracies of compression, rebound, springrate, roll stiffness, bump steer, scrub radius, and all that stuff are completely thrown out the window when lowering a car that much without some serious redesign. You lowered it, don't pretend it will handle better because it will not. I don't give a gently caress if you even have KWs, that car's suspension wasn't designed to run that low and nothing works right at that rideheight.

Yes but like I've said many times now I don't give two fucks about any of that. Show me where I said the car handles better. I know I slammed the car. I know the performance actually decreases because of that. I know I'm putting extra strain on my axles. I just don't care because I drive slow, careful, and check my suspension components often for anything that might be hosed up. If it fucks up, I'll get it fixed. I like being low. I'll have some decent pics of the wheels up soon sorry for this derail.

Weezy88 I like the rims and the car looks pretty good low, not usually a fan of really low cars but it works. I haven't posted my car in a while. So here is the dirty E30 track rat and the VW Caddy. Excuse the mess of pollen on the caddy, I washed it about 4 hours ago and as you can tell there is a bit of pollen in the air. The E30 is without a hood because I just finished up replacing the water pump and gasket which is much easier to do with the hood removed. Bumper to Bumper...Both with big ol diving boards    Interior Shots BMW  VW  1981 Volkswagen Diesel Rabbit Pickup/Caddy - Stock bought 6/7/09  1988 BMW 325is - H&R Race spring, Bilstein sport shocks, poly bushing throughout, stripped, PFC pads, Yokohama track rubber on Kosei K1's  The Caddy is so different from the E30 it is nice. Its slow (1.5L diesel with 55hp/75tq 4speed), sloppy and you can't feel the road. The E30 is responsive, fast and you feel every bump.

If it's full 1/3rd off of the page, and I have to scroll to read text because of it I get a little bit pissy. Besides, why is it so loving difficult to read the forum rules and post pictures in 800x600 like it says? I managed to re-size all of my pictures before I posted them, it's not like it's all that loving difficult.

drat Weezy, how do you get around without tearing the front lip off of the car? Regardless though, looks awesome. I used to run my Hondas low like that but never tucking the front. That look suits the car well IMO.

kill me now posted:Your car looks fantastic dumped. Thanks man. I know how you feel. A lot, well the majority, of Scions are so riced out, especially tC's. It's like the new Civic. I like it because it's easy to work on and I figure I can have one of the few clean ones around. 4/20 NEVER FORGET posted:drat Weezy, how do you get around without tearing the front lip off of the car? Thanks. I just drive slow and take my time. A lot of times I have to find alternate routes if the road is hosed or the entrances to places are steep. Always have to ask friends "hows your driveway?" if they want me to go hang out. The tC's look really good low, I don't think I could go back to having any wheel gap. I do have quite a few scrapes under the front lip, and my S pipe and axelback piping is a little digned up

Here's my new Cadillac CTS 2005. It's the "Deluxe" model with the sun/moon roof, wood interior, Xeon Lights/Fog Lights and Alumn Mags. It's pretty fun to drive and the previous owner was probably old because the car barely has any use. The "sport" mode is also pretty fun (the beast has over 250hp) and it can deliver a lot of power in a short time! Here are some pictures from the dealer since just bought it 3 days ago.

I have just bought (and by that, I mean financed via a credit union) my first car, and I am absolutely thrilled with it. 2001 Corvette convertible, 42k miles, completely stock.  Bought from a dealership in Salt Lake City, UT.  Flew up there, drove it back down to TX (which was incredible fun). Now it's safe, albeit badly in need of a wash, in my garage.
