Looks real nice!! I can't believe your exel rear center cap fits. Mines will not work at all.

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Why dont yours?

sweet rims...show us the details some time

 

[CTpro5]

Cause there's no room for the cap's clip. The only way i can get it to fit,is using a spacer.But that will make my rear wheel stick out even more. Is it okay to be CAPLESS?? Will it damage anything?Rust?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Shouldnt damage anything ... rust maybe ... paint the hub.

Your rims look so familiar... ha....they look great. Enjoy!

It amazes me tho ... I got them from WheelMax with out any issues at all. However, on their webpage under the EXEL section the size is listed as 18x7, on the clearance page, 18x7.5 and on the invoice 18x8 !!!

Looks good. I wanted those for a while, but I have decided on my rims now and should have them soon.. When is the kit getting painted?

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Once the f'n snow stops coming ... they said 3-5 inches tonite.

this goes out to ya'll!!

does changing rims feel different when driving?? can i get some feedback from those who have custom rims!?

You'll notice a slight difference in braking if you go to a heavier wheel...Or, I guess a really light wheel too.

thats the only difference?

1) how about the quietness on a da highway n stuff?

2) assume its 18' rims, is it harder to steer?

Protege5Gurly,


Is your car lowered with the Eibach in that pix? I need to lower my car but I don't have enough money to get coilovers now. Damn new House! lol

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Togan ... you feel the road more since there is less tire to cushion the ride. Braking is reduced if you go with a HEAVY wheel. I havent noticed any changes. Steering is the same as stock.

Jimmy, lowered on Eibachs, and rear fenders were rolled to prevent rubbing.

Looks good. I think I might go with 18's instead of 17's.

Javo ... again .. when the snow stops for the year and there wont be any more sand/salt all over the place. I refuse to pay all that money to have sand and salt eat away at it
