Does anyone know about fullway tyres? That's what I'm rolling in right now...

[jay.ritchie]

Here's some photos.
Takuma RST's with 235zr/40/18 tyres.

The car isn't lowered, the old wheels are in the boot so its sitting low at the rear and the fronts a bit higher than usual.

Sorry Jay, not a fan at all. Rims with spokes protruding from top angle are the ugliest looking rims in my opinion.

For that price you should have bought Mark's (cruisn) Work rims...or even bought the set of 18x8.5 rotas for sale on ozfoz if u dont mind replica rims

What do you mean? The little chamfer at the end of each spoke?
I reckon they look sick! really suit the car. Needs an sti lip to tie it together though.

By the way, i'm planning on getting a rear sway in the next couple of weeks, i'll need to test it out on a cruise!

Will look even better once it's lowered haha .

Love it dude good stuff

Agreed Owen.

How dare you suggest Rota's........

Just too many knock off rims getting around.

I did suggest ur rims first. Its just that he messaged me asking which offset rotas he should buy

I mean..having the spokes out further than the actual rim. I will admit it is difficult for our cars to fit concave rims..but all it takes is patience to find the right set.

Unfortunately 18 x 8 +49 are too weak an offset.

People would rather buy shit Chinese knock off's with a hectic offset than REAL JDM quality wheels....

If people PM'd me about ROTA offset I would either..

1/ totally ignore them,

2/ tell them to get fucked,

3/

5mm spacers and he'd be laughing.
Anything "less weak" than that with lowered springs and stock camber would have him visiting ur house requesting some time with ur guard roller and heat gun anyway.......

Oh well. Each to their own Jay, on a positive note, at least your new rims are wider than what you had.

[jay.ritchie]

Agreed Owen.

Mark, you seem to forget than not everyone can pile never ending amounts of $$$ into their cars!
$1,400 for a set of brands new Takuma's w/ tyres is a ripper deal. The colour is great, and they're finished really nicely.

Not to mention, i think i remember reading that you had a set of forged 17" STI's at some stage?

[jay.ritchie]

Unfortunately 18 x 8 +49 are too weak an offset.

Funny, but the set of 18 x 8 +44 are absolutely perfect.
When its time to fit the new springs the guards will definitely have to be rolled. Had to take it easy on the way home with the set of stockies in the boot!

And, for what its worth, they may be replicas, but they're still made in Japan
