Elite Wheels?

[tjmhillz]

im in the market for some wheels for my coupe. I was browsing enjuku and phase2 and noticed these wheels. do nebody have them on there car? have nebody heard of these wheels before. they look like a cheaper versions of the work meisters s1 3pc. specs on the wheels are 17x9 +15 114.3x4.also what tire size should i run for the front and rears. sorry for asking so many questions but i really dont know rims and tires like that as you can tell. my car has stock suspension right now and im also in the market for suspension. does nebody have any ideas on what suspension to get with these wheels? i would like a decent drop but not to low that im scrapping everywhere i go. hopefully thats enough info to help you get an idea on helping me.. thanks

Tein S Tech's and KYB AGX's, give you a lil adjustability in dampening, lowering, and still a comfortable ride

p.s. my wheels arent elites there rota D2's

I think the only difference between the Elite wheels and the Rota D2's is that the D2's have the stepped lip, and the Elites don't .

Sizing is great though. I'd recommend going with either 225/45 or 235/40 [all around] and a really good roll on the fenders.

thanks adrian. well im pretty much hooked on getting the wheels time to order them! now its time to figure out what suspension i wanna get. this is going to be my dd so something with a nice drop but comfy at the same time. hey asibah do u have the set up that u reccommend if so do u have pics. i wanna see just how low it drops your car.

[ashibah83]

no i dont have that setup, i have coilovers, i have ridden in a few cars with a similar setup(different springs) and they still rode good(but what do i know i think my coilovers ride good) just search around for some threads on different spring strut combos, take your time dont rush into a purchase you wont be happy with 6 months from now

just for reference(and sence i havnt posted sence i lowered it)here are some pics of my car after i lowered it a bit more and rolled the fenders

yes i knowi need some better pics im just lazy

[tjmhillz]

your car looks like it has a nice lil drop to it. wat suspension are you running? thanks for the side shot of your car it really helps me out too on wheel choice and how low i wanna go.

If you do go with the 17x9 with the 235/40 that Adrian suggested (which I also suggest) you are going to want a bit more lowering than springs/shocks can provide. Especially up front. Purely from an aesthetic standpoint mind you.My car is daily driven as well running close to 3 full inches of drop, I have no clearance issues anywhere, car clears all but the biggest speed bumps or steepest inclined driveways, and the ride itself is overall very good. I am running an older model Tein HR coilover that work very well for my needs.

im running, Stance GR+ coilovers, Battle Version suspension arms(all),Rota D2 wheels(17x8.5 +20) 215/45/17 Falken Azenis rt615's

damn your car looks nice. Is the gold finish really that light?end jack

[ashibah83]

thanks man, yeah its a lil lighter than i expected/wanted but i thinks it looks great against the flat black so its cool

[Greddy323]

i like these wheels and im thinking about putting them on a white 240

[simmode1]

Wow. Thanks for letting us know. BTW, nice thread revival...

[WhiteChukiS13]

Get them, i have the gold on my white s13. We can meet up sometime and go drive around together, it will be great....

They are decent, i'm still waiting to roll my fenders and drop it and put a litte camber on. they have an aggresive stance for sure. i'm using a 215/40/17 front and 235/40/17 rear. i wasn't sure about clearance for the front so thats why i went with the 215, look good though.
