+1

Can't go wrong with the RE050A's. Expensive as heck in 19's but supposed worth it!

congrats on ur purchase, i'm sure they will look very nice.

[THERB3]

Thanks dude can't wait for the actual day.

[Jimmy S]

Congrats mate!! Jealous!!

[THERB3]

Don't be jealous we can swap every now and then

[Hotwire]

**Sigh**
When will people learn, its much more about the width/girth than it is the length

Sorry, They are expensive, they are 19's, but they simply won't fill the guards.
Why do you think the Japanese make so few rims in such large diameter, and when they do in average offsets? because 18's is MORE than tall enough, and a car will look much better with a fat wheel/offset

*shrug*

I think my 18x7 +55 stockers (with 215/45R18 tyres) fill the guards just fine. A set of 225/50R17 tyres on 17X7 +55 wheels will fill the guards fine too. Of course, I'm not looking for the "guard-about-to-slice-the-tyre-open-on-a-half-decent-sized-bump" look.

Dude those rims look the shit! Far out id love me a set . Up im eye off the new Enkei Alettaa's they look hawt .

Im highly considering chuck all of my tax refund into rims, Then selling off my current rims once i get em fixed up.

[THERB3]

Thanks dude 24 more days and these wheels arrive. Maybe even earlier fingers cross.
All I did is bite the bullet and bought wheels I know they can become expense but I will only live once. So treat yourself with a nice treat and receiving a tax return is a healthy start.

Just an update guys.

I was suprised today with a telephone call from the guys with the wheels. They have informed me that everything is going well and they have started production, cause they do not stock a lot of these wheels in a 5 x 100 stud pattern.

Also I ordered my centre caps and my Rays lock nuts as well.

Hows that for service.

I wised they didn't call me cause know I cant concentrate on anything else.

you should change the title of your thread to 'got me some awesome wheels, not so annoyed anymore....'

lol

[teK--]

if you bought aluminium or titanium wheel nuts make sure you use anti seize on your studs otherwise they may be very hard to undo later.

[THERB3]

Thanks for the heads up Jim.
I have been a busy boy with all the mods going on. I just received a call about my suspension. I can get the Teins flex coilovers for $2,300 landed and Teins superstreets for $2,100. As I have no freaking idea on suspension, is that a good price or should I look elsewhere ? Also flex or superstreets ?

Cheers

I remember them being around the $2,600 mark for my group buy last year, and the Yen should be better this time around. But considering places like Fulcrum and Wholesale Suspension charge up to $3,000 to $5,000 for Tein coilovers, I'd say that's a good price.

But most of the us who have the Teins are running the Flex.
