nice, nice, nice. Great color for the car, and good design too. I was looking all around at wheels for a while, I'm surprised I didn't come across these. They are really nice looking.

Now.... are you going to lower it at all? (naughty)

 

[absolutamente]

So you must be the first person with 245mm width tires on their MS3. What offset are your wheels, do you have lowering springs installed and have you experienced any rubbing in the wheel wells or on the fenders? I am pumped, if these fit o.k. I will be in line for new wheels and tires.

 

[Oldcabin]

He's certainly not the first with 245's, but I have the same questions.

 

[mckraut]

I think those are really the first wheels with more than 5-6 spokes that I've liked. They look great, although I wouldn't be too excited to clean them.

 

[SHAGwagn]

does look good...i guess 8.5s do work after all...you gonna be able to lower?

 

[daonly1around]

yes, more details on the wheels, offset and are you lowered and any rubbing issures...

and CBM FTW.... car looks great, hopefully mine will look that good soon

 

[speedy614]

they are 47 offset. its not lowered. and with my fat ass friend and 2 tires in the back the fender rubbed. its fine without all of the extra weight but with Arod in the back its rubs when i hit large bumps or pot holes. TIME FOR THE ROLLER!

 

[SHAGwagn]

figured as much...guess ill be goin 8" then

 

[absolutamente]

How is it in the front if you turn the wheels to full lock? You will have to let us know how it fits after you roll the fenders.

 

[wisniaPl]

how much for tire??

 

[speedy614]

156 per tire.

anyone got advice to keep the paint from chipping?

 

[speedy614]

front is fine

Very nice! Awesome to see another speed with 8.5'' wheels, welcome to the 8.5'' club. I think your the third one on 247 with 8.5. Your the first to put 245s on 8.5''. (first)(thumb)

 

[zpeedfreak]

so we need someone with 8.5 to drop it


I was wrong... seeing this car I realiza that this color combination is in fact the best one for the CB

 

[GhostMercury]

oooommmmgggg ima hunt you down lol i have been keeping these rims on the down low for so long trying to be the first on with them....they look hot though

 

[GhostMercury]

did you get the gunmetal ones? and where did you order them from. i have a couple sites but where did you get them

 

[speedy614]

thanks for the comments guys, im super happy with them. I rolled the back fenders last night and they havent rubbed since. Now i need to figure out a way to drop it just a little without rubbing.

yes they are gm. i got them from discount tire in columbus which was amazing because most places couldnt get them for 4-6 weeks, but they happened to have the ones i wanted in my city. All i had to wait on were the tires.
