niceee touch with the red stripee car looks good man

[RabidTRD]

Ooh the stripe looks good.

[SwissFerdi]

So how are those applied? My wheels don't have a lip, per se, so it's tough to visualize doing it...looks good though.

Seeing as my tyres are stretched, I put these on the insides of my wheels. And my lip on the front wasn't big enough, but it's just a bit of plastic on double sides tape, off eBay. It's thicker trim stuff not just the tape.

How do you get that much of a motion effect at such a slow speed? I can't seem to figure it out on my own lol

[Timmyface]

Clamp your camera to your car somehow. Rig/auction mount. Use a slow shutter speed (10seconds etc) and push the car.

Resizing and Graininess is bad, but i like the red lip on the roll



This week i'm putting a new clutch in, its starting to slip pretty bad.

My ex has this stuff lining her grill on the Civic. Be careful of it peeling lol.

Timmy~ What's the offset on your wheels? I'm running 18x9 ET28 front and ET23 rear but the rears are tucked. Adding spacers soon, but still.. Yours seem like a perfect fit.

[Timmyface]

I seen you were running them and was quite confused.
Most of the pictures are:
Fronts: 18x8 +30
Rears: 18x9 +30

I've recently added 5mm spacer to the rear, but in saying that you should still have more poke than me all round. When I had my 18x9 +30 up front, I had too much poke I wouldn't have been able to drive.

[Ehrgeiz]

Wow, really? That's so weird. I'm adding a 10mm spacer to the rears, so it should be around 18x9 +13.. They'll be slightly past flush.

My fronts are +28 and they poke a bit, but I only rub on huge bumps.

[mak5603]

I want 17x9's or 18x9's so bad!

You guys would laugh if you new what my "offset" was right now with how fat of a spacer I am running with these lame wheels (just had them laying around) . I mean, it would be a sick offset if it was on some fatter wheels or without such a big spacer. Main thing I want from bigger wheels though is stretched tires, non stretched tires rub like a mofo.

[Ehrgeiz]

Yeah, I have 225/40 all around but tbh, I should've went with 215. I could lower her some more with those.

[Timmyface]

Yeah i'm running 225 in the rear and 215 up front. I should deffinately have gone 205 up front, as theres not much stretch at all, which means i can't really go lower or wider with a 5mm spacer.

Nice touch with the red lip, Tim!
