welcome to the elite!

[ROLO]

Welcome to Elite Bill.... When are you dropping the ride?

[CrackerTeg]

Bill, I'd have to agree with Ryan. Go with the S techs (especially since I've had them for about 4k miles), they ride awesome! And I also agree with getting the type S wheels because of the width. That's why I'm going with the TL base wheels, but not leaving them silver.

Welcome to ECM Bill, clean ride you've got there.

I think both the HFP and TL-S rims are pretty cool looking, but my personal preference is the TL-S.

[wtcii]

Thanks for the Welcomes..... never too late. I think that I am leaining towards the HFP, partly because they are a little bit plainer. Also since they do take the beefier tires, they will be a bit more expensive to maintain. I will be in College soon and will not have the money to fork over. My Dad is pretty frugal, so he will only buy tires for the wheels that i have now. i am still on the fence though. I love the way the Type s wheels look, I just dont know about how they will look on my car with such a subtle drop. I guess I will be getting the tein springs though. They seem to have good feed back so far I dont think that I want to tackle this project on my own, so I will probably take it to my mechanic to have it done.
Anyone want to photoshop it for me.

Hey, I can photoshop a picture for you. Just to make sure though, is this the right HFP wheel?



I tried googling a picture of one, but there's like 5 different styles, lol. Oh wait, did you want just the drop, or both?

[wtcii]

Thanks, but it is the 5 spoke one. Like this:

My photoshop skills are terrible.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Well I tried, but I may have gone a little overboard on the dropping, lol.

[wtcii]

Thanks! It is much better than what I couldv'e done. I think that I like them. I finally got all of my suspension parts. I am either going to get these or the TL 5 spoke wheels. I would rather have the HFP, but the TL are much easier to come by at a reasonable price, which is important when your a senior in high school.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Yeah, definitely. I'd like to get some TL-S rims, but I can already tell without any research that they're going to be pricey, lol. And a set of new wheels won't look good without a lowered suspension. Maybe I'll wait on the wheels for awhile, and get the lowering springs instead. I may follow your path and get the same set. I'm a senior this year too.

Oh, and why are your EX rims so much more damned shinier than mine? lol

[wtcii]

I originally just planned to upgrade it to an EX, but the mod bug bit. They were literally brand new in that picture, hence shinieness, if thats even a word

[Paulius005]

w/e springs you choose, go with some koni yellows or even neuspeed kit... can adjust it up to .5 inches

do you plan on blackhousing your headlights at all? That may look nice with the green on your car. I'm in love with mine, lol. It took about a whole Saturday to do, so don't plan on driving anywhere. You could even paint them the same color of your car, along with the grill. That'd be very interesting.

[wtcii]

I plan to get some chrome inspires if I ever can find them and have the money when I do. I like the way the black house looks but I want my car to look as stock as possible with a few subtle changes hence minor drop and Honda/acura wheels. After I get my wheels though I need to start saving for paint because my paint on my hood is screwed up and it bothers me everytime I see my car from the front. So after I pay for the Hood, fenders, and bumpers to get repainted Ill see what I want to do. Oh, and Rolo has Noble Green Pearl Headlights and the grill, I think.
