New wheels mounted. Need spacers

Got these for a sweet price.  Not exactly the offset I wanted but for the price I looked pass that.  Didn't really think about the disk size but had to use a small spacer to clear my front calipers.  I believe it was about 3mm spacer.    The rears actually barely clear the body.   Luckily last week I got an alighnment and told the guy to max out the camber in the rear with the stock adjustment bolts.  However I will get a roll and figure out what size spacer I can run to get these more flush.    Fronts I was originally running max camber with the RSR coilovers but the wheels looked too sunken in so I put it back to spec.   I'm considering when I do get bigger spacers for the front I'll put the neg camber back.

Below picture is when the front left of the car was raised up.  Snapped a pic before I lowered it back to the ground.

I also had no lugnuts so while I was there at the shop I bought a set of Ray lugnuts.   It was abit expensive for the lugnuts but the black went well.

Here is front pic of the car...I don't think I've ever showed the jdm grill and mascot.   All bought used on this board for a great price!

Those wheels look so small.....Lower the front more, or raise the back a little bit. Even it out.

hmmm actually in that pic I did lower it in the front.   When I got the coilovers the springs were in a certain position.  I'm guessing it was just enough  to put a tiny bit of load on the spring.   I lowered the height adjustment all the way to that lower perch.  Can't go any lower unless I starting compressing and putting load on the spring which I don't want to do.   The rears can go lower but would look more odd.   The quarter panels are much lower then the front fenders.    Therefore I have to rake the car alittle to get a even tire gap.   I'll take a look at it from a distance...Can't really see at night.

You sold the Ordens for these? :sad:

[QUOTE=chrispy;170709]You sold the Ordens for these? :sad:[/QUOTE]

actually I sold the Orden to wait and see what comes up.   These came up for a good price and jumped on it.   These are temporary for now.

Wow thats as low as the fronts go? Are they double tap/dual height adjustable?

Tight fitment on the rear!  These would like nice on my white F50 :D

i'm going to be 100% honest so don't take it the wrong way... its constructive criticism.
 
there is nothing about those wheels that i like. they look too small, i don't like the gold on pewter look on this car, sizes/offsets are weak for that car, the style is all wrong, etc.
 
i wouldn't put too much effort into fitting those. i'm pretty sure they're not going to last long. roll the fenders and call it a day.

+1 constructive criticism

:shrug:that is a bad combo bro!

I think biogger spacers and more cambers with a rolled fender make make it look plush!other than that i like the combo gold with siler.That Looks Daumbass Clean Cuz!

Thanks for honest opinion.  I also had doubts about the style...however these are temporary.   Just jumped at a good price.   I thought the gold didn't go well with the car but it's already grown on me and looks nice.   I'll take some better pics next time.   

The front coilover are the typical coilovers where the shock body screws into the lower part.  With the spring with it's own perch.   It must just be the way this car is designed.   This car is WAY high to begin with stock so it is a considerable amount of drop.

i actually like the style, just the wheels are too small, but since you got a good price on them, just rock em temp until you get whatever your heart truly desires.

[QUOTE=brainneeded;170984]i actually like the style, just the wheels are too small, but since you got a good price on them, just rock em temp until you get whatever your heart truly desires.[/QUOTE]

yeah it grows on you.   It does look abit small.  I'm thinking it could be the tires but I guess the wheel wells are so enormous that you need a big wheel/tire to fill it all up.   Nothing really stands out too me anymore (rims wise)...no rim that I really want.   When I had my G20 I really wanted these VS-XX rims or the Rezax.  I think thats the reason why I wanted these.  I just look for the best deals with the best quality built.    There are too many people rolling on the same rims and really hate the style of like Fabulous rims.  They just look straight up cheap and DUB for some reason.    Honestly I really like some of the Meister rims and considered rolling on those.   I just like the look even if it is considered a race style rim and not full face.   I even considered SSR SP1 Professors.    I had the Ordens but were never installed and those weren't that great either.  Just had a pretty aggressive offset.  I've got some 20s coming in but you guys aren't going to like it either.   You can see in the pics that I already have the tires for them...

Again I like hearing peoples opinions.   Thanks for the good and bad.   In my case I kind of already knew it was going to be bad.   I can pretty much guess right how most people think on this forum.  Thats what we're here for on this board to learn and teach each other.

I kind of wish my silver was alittle lighter...might have looked better.  Kind of like how blitz uses their technospeed gold rims on their silver cars.

it might also have something to do with the fact that its an in-your-face wheel on a lightly modified car. i'm sure if you were a little farther along you could pull it off.
 
cramped up garage pics never help either.
 
:dunno:

hahaha in-your-face wheel...that's funny.    Isn't VIP rims in-your-face with very large diameters and a big ass lip and full face to show off all that heavy metal?  or do  you mean the color is in-your-face type of color where it contrast the car color so much it stand out like crazy?

I think those wheels look to sporty for a big bodied smooth lined luxurious car like that.

it's luxury X sport...

so it would have been alittle better if it was say like silver or black or chrome?

honestly, i think it looks dope ass is. just a tad wider and higher, but you can just dump the living shit out of it and camber it... 



oh wait it's an f50. :pat:

nice!

Washed and outside pics.

How much are you referring to when you say you got a great deal that you couldn't pass up on this deal?  I really miss the Ordens..........they looked so good.  But as long as you are happy with it....in the end that is all that matters.

Sukoshiyoshi

When I see the car I  honestly feel my lil bro stole cheese and applied them to the rat cage ! 


too small ... you had the best wheels ever ... and let cost get to you ... ;(  


NEXT PAIR !

unless you paid like a g for them.....bad buy

look small and weird

I like the ordens better, like everyone said, these wheels look small on the F50.

[quote=Blitz;171116]so it would have been alittle better if it was say like silver or black or chrome?[/quote]
 
i think silver or chrome would have looked better (i don't like black on silver cars) but the gold doesn't look so bad in the new pics. i just can't get over how small they look in some pics even though they're 19s.
 
i think these could work after all though. looks pretty good in this pic:
 
[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/VSXX/P1010442.jpg[/IMG]
 
so where i would go from here would be rolling the fenders and taking out some of the negative camber to get things flush. camber is cool and all... when you need it.
 
then maybe a uas setup and something like the impul/wise kits (clean but a little sporty) and youd have a pretty nice whip.

hmmm the Ordens were 19s also though.   I think the Ordens were too small then too.   

I didn't plan on selling the Ordens to get these.  I sold the Ordens to get something else but I didn't know what.   I stumbled upon these for a good deal and no it wasn't like a G.  That would be a steal and I'd buy dozens of sets to turn around and make profit.    Anyways I've got some other set of 20s like I said on their way.  For now I'm happy with these.   If I was slammed on the ground I think they wouldn't look so small.

nevermind

Hmmmm  2k brand new is coo ...



I am sure if the q was dumped it would scream a new look

Today I went to a college and they had tons of speed bumps...it was a nightmare.   You guys that go really low do you guys all take off the mudguards?   My mudgaurds scrape a ton and they are for sure going to grind down and look like shit.

dumpt + mudguards = junkyard shopping.

I like the look of mudguards...damn   Unless if I get a kit then it would be fine.   I might just raise the car alittle.  Maybe a 1/2in to 1in.   It would help me so much clear my work driveway that I've seem to have trouble now.   Also other speedbump/driveways I would unexpectedly run into.   Eventually I'll get air so I can have best of both worlds.

Thanks everyone for the opinions.   I believe I have achieved a luxury sport look.  

I can't believe how many looks I get with these rims.   I got a vato telling me he likes my rims while I was pulling cash from the ATM.   I got in my car and booked it.

ahh scraping = air !   great group buy if you didnt buy wheels hehe

i like it...i was actually considering going with the same wheels on black but then again I had so many ideas of where i wanted to go as far as wheels

maybe you just need some gold badges to somewhat compliment the wheels and i would loose the mud guards

im looking forward to slapping those ordens on my ride

Blitz, where did you source the coilovers from?

I actually special ordered them from RS-R..It wasn't cheap.   They're located in the OC so it was only a 15 min drive from me.

I don't think the 19s are too small, but the 20s will be nice to fill up the huge wheel wells these cars have.

I wish you had stuck with the Ordens and done the fender work!  

Can the front go lower or is it maxed out?

i think they appear extra small compared to the orders because it has less lip n higher offset so they dont fill out the wheel wells as much and also because of the mesh design. to me mesh wheels usually look about an inch smaller for some reason.  oh n i guess if u took off the mudflaps n lowered the coils a bit more.. widebodyq had deeep 18's and they looked more fitting cause of the offsets and heavy drop. :shrug:  im liking the gold the more that i look at it, its different.

Actually the lip sizes are the same..it almost looks like almost the same amount of lip actually.   That's why I think if I rolled and got some spacers it would fill up the wheel well alittle better.    It is possible since the spokes of the mesh only go out to the rivets rather then all the way out to the lip.   The ordens the spokes went all the way to the lip and the rivets were in between each spoke.

those gold mesh joints are clean. Rays?
