[joehernandez]

yeah they do go better!
but mines, i checked right now and they are going to arrive on tuesday,
they probably will take one more week to be installed, i will try to do some paint job on the plastic under the fenders,,
and the calipers will get painted also,,
i will see how that goes,

[joehernandez]

Its been a long time since i posted an update, but i am back,
hope it will be satisfied jejeje

Here is the first picture just to tell you how cool of a day i had.
first, my tire blew,
and almost a tree destroyed it,



and this is the last picture u took of my car without wheels


and here pics of the car with wheels





And here as you can see i removed the front lip (now i dont like the way my car looks) because i installed the
kit to lower the car.

well, in the pictures they look chrome,, but in person they are more like metal polished,
really cool though,
i paid 1250 with tires and warranty.

[CelicaST_CALI]

so exactly wat kinda rims are those??

[joehernandez]

so exactly wat kinda rims are those??

these are the R-1 18x8.5 Hype with mass lip,,
or you mean something different?

And here as you can see i removed the front lip (now i dont like the way my car looks) because i installed the
kit to lower the car.

I hope you take this as a compliment but I think you're car looks muuuuuch better without the lip - just so much cleaner and the new rims are killer too. Perfect match IMO.

do you really think that!!
after i installed the suspension tecnique springs, the car lowered so much on the front that the lip was only 2 or 3 inches from the ground, so i had to take it off,
but i went back and asked them to put back the original springs on the car, now the car looks a lot lifted from the front,
and i dont like that either,
i dont feel like paying again to change the springs!
i think the car looks more killer with the lip man,

It's a personal opinion thing man - do whatever makes you happy. Either way you have a very beautiful car that you made to your tastes so be proud

X2 on that i like it much better without the lip...the lip looks a lil ricey and detours from the actual bumper..

now u need projectors...

Damn - the more I look the more I want those rims man! Nice choice!

[Promasta]

you mean 18x7.5" right?
cause they never made those in 18x8.5 plus they wouldn't fit

[Fastbird]

I wanted those wheels BADLY when we got new wheels in April. Now, I want them more. Awesome wheels. They look great on your car.

yeah i do like it a lot also without the lip, but the thing is that i installed back the springs on the front, so the car i way more lifted on the front now, so that i would be able to install the lip without be hitting on every little bump,
but i will see how that goes, if not, they i will go back to the suspension technike springs on the front, and sorry but the lip will have to see the end it that happens.
thanks again man, i am so proud of my car cuz it reflects all the effort that i have put in in it.
it feels cool that people on the streets park next to you and give you thumbs up every two or three days.

yeah it does detours from the actual bumper, that can be fixed modifyng it but it looks really hard,
the projectors, i am thinking about it,
they are too expensive in my opinion, having in mind that most of the cars have really bad ass headlights from third party companies. but yeah i have been thinking about it for a long time,
if you see my myspace profile, you will notice that it says as my name, spider-joe vr. 5.0, which reflects the versions or upgrades that my car has completed, now i am on 5. the highest is the 10, and the 6 or 7 mod is definitely a swap,
i even wonder how my car will be on level 10 hehehehe

yeah something like that, i totally forgot about the other numbers hehe
thanks for the correction

I have been looking at these rims for almost a year, but i didn't had money,
now that i have to jobs, i could afford them, they look sick ass in person man!
trade yours, i bet you they would also look excellent on you red car!
