haha, i got some z32s lined up.

thankyou gogg, that makes me proud. dont take my advice though, cause itll make your car handle badly and wear out your tires. but itll look cool

:: WARNING ::

car looks like total **** in these pics

i just got the new KA motor up and running, been doddling around making sure everything is working properly, so proper wheels havent been the priority. I threw some junk on the front to roll it around on. i believe the specs on the white wheel are 16x7 +35 with 2 8mm plates to clear the nismo studs, and on the passenger side i just have a regular SE wheel 16x6.5 +40. haha! ghetto supreme. and yea how do you like my julio wheel fitment in the back lol, it has like no camber. fixed soon.

At least you admit that there's no real functional reason to do this...I think a lot of the new "drifters" truly think that the widest wheels/most stretched tires will make them good drifters. Kinda sad.

Check em for leaks! Spoke to a thoroughly tricked-out M3 owner who was disgusted with his. HRE recommended using silicon sealant to cope with leaks! Finish was peeling too. He had SSR for his track days.

Is that the V::S version 1 kit? Did you ever get bigger barrels for the 18x7.5s?

And wet sand that paint...although I would never run such huge wheels, stretched tires, etc, I have to admit that if your paint looks better you will have a pretty cool looking zenki. I'm sick of all the drift s14s being black koukis with the same body kits and wheels...pretty unoriginal.

mexican 0 camber hyperflush

last one

these pics are outdated again haha, went to ye olde alignment shoppe and got the caster toned down, wheel is pretty much in the center of the well now, looks less retarded.

maxnix - huh? all 3 piece wheels use silicon to seal them together, pretty common practice. it wouldnt hold air if you didnt.

turtl - yea it is version select version 1 (vertex copy). yea the paint sucks, havent had time to work on it with finals and stuff comming up. it should look better when i get a chance to work on it over the summer.

lol you think so? imho its pretty gay high up right now, its like 3" off the ground i can fit like all 4 fingers under the front bumper. i cant freakin lower it right now cause the front tires are retardedly huge and its almost impossible to stretch a tire on a pizza cutter 7.5" and its already at like 4 camber. ugh
