sounds like rahul

I saw a red CJ today at 4:20 where Thomas Rd becomes Winthrop Ave in Crawley. I think it had a bot lip spoiler (could be mistaken here it was driving by and I was concentrating on turning while it was going straight) but I definitely saw some sweet black rims. I think they are the Tenzo rims I saw on a red CJ at our last cruise...might have been the same car! I did however take down the number plate so I could find out Smile anyone with a red lancer and black rims (at least 18") have a number plate ending in 816?

I feel like a detective Razz

That's me.

[Itachi]

Haha case closed!

I must say they are some sweet looking wheels, I might have to get me a pair

[AOTR]

Yeah those rims look damn good. I got them together with rahul. But as he mentioned earlier. It's too wide for our car and as the guards can't be rolled. So we're waiting to see what can be done.

[Itachi]

Yeh I think Rahul was talking about it at the cruise. Maybe I'll just have to powder coat the stock ones black instead.

[Hazy1]

get your 18" powder coated?

[Itachi]

Yeh I'm assuming it's going to be cheaper than buying after market rims and tires.

[Massaen]

I am getting my 18" rims done... $500 bucks.

Much cheaper then new rims!

Spotted Rahul at uni yesterday. He was driving past the tavern, and yes i was at the tavern on a Wednesday afternoon I was there today too...

Sounds good, what colour are you getting? Where are you getting them done? Post pics if its happening soon!

[lancervr]

actually guys all i needa do apparently is chge the rim to an offset of 45 and problems hould be solved hopefully just waitin on tech9 to do it.... and if i m not wrong mike is gettin white powdercoat on his wheels... i so needa lower the car after changing the rims... and yeah myc ar n jenn's car are pretty similar cept my car has a highrise spoiler and led tail lamps and my wheels have red trim...

[Dire]

They do look good Rahul, hope you can tuck them in

[lancervr]

yeah i really love em.... really hoping the offset chge will keep it tucked in.... was talkin to whiteknight on ccj chat and he told me that 18x8 offset 45 is perfect for our cars so heres hoping.... whatever u guys do.... DONT GET 18x8 rims with an offset of 37....

I was looking at some 20*8.5 was thinking there were a bit wide though; http://www.gmaxwheels.com/wheels.php?wh ... =Defiant-I

whats the most width our fair lancer can take?

[lancervr]

frankly the max u shud go is 18s or 19s the bare max but even 19s screw up ride n wear out ure suspension.... 18x8 sticks out a fair bit alrdy but just barely so its ok... 8.5 would stick out alot n would be illegal..... and u will be having trouble with parallel parkin and mught scrape ure rims... best option would be get 18s and lower the car which is what i m doin....
