Need ideas for new rims

[bigwoofer]

So I'm doing something pretty crazy, or stupid, or both to my car. So I'm going to have to probably get a new BBK as well, I will definitely need new rims.

I've decided on a Brembo Gran Turismo big brake kit.

So I'm looking for rim idea's. Need to be 18 x 9" with an offset of 40.

Just looking for rim ideas, as the last step in this process before the car goes in for surgery is to figure out which rims I want.

The only hint i'll give you is all 4 must be able to spin! Agressive spoke and big lip preferred

It's all for s**** and giggles at this point. I really have run out of things to do to the car. This just seems like one of those things to do just to do for fun.

It's all going to be dependant on the drivetrain and engine fitting in without too much grief. The drivetrain seems like it will fit with a little welding here and there to make new mounts and stuff, but not that bad. It's the engine we are worried about.

So we are going to drop the engine and front suspension in a bit and see if we can shoehorn the new engine and bits in the bay. Same displacement engine, but with more turbos

As long as we can keep the labour and fabrication costs under a set point, we are going for it

Well...that answers that...you are still around.

I thought you had sold your car off from boredom....that was the rumor anyway.

I kind of was suffering from boredom. Almost sold it, but then figured I would just start the cycle all over again. So I basically kept the car as it was for the last year and a half, two years. Then got the itch to really do one last crazy mod to her.

Good deal....Your reputation Precedes you.
I have the utmost faith that nothing will be left undone,halfassed, nor will any corners be cut in whatever you new endeavor is.

I would be interested in seeing the new powerplant though....*hint hint*

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol a Mazdaru?

 

[CTt3P5]

Whoa.....your'e back! Your car has always been one of my top 3 faves and I was saddened when I saw your f/s thread. I'll be staying tuned for the end result of your current build.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

Thought so. I kinda figured you were doing a subaru motor swap. The awd for the Mazda isn't that great. It'd be more of a downgrade than an upgrade ..to me anyways.
