awesome wheels. No doubt they will look good. Can't wait to see them mounted.
ohhh mannn,.... thats sick 18s too ...nice
blk, these were the ones we were talking about today? Philly...awesome choice of wheels. Blk and I were just chatting today and I was telling him my next set of wheels is the nkb cups. These look great! so I guess you're going widebody or did you buy a different car and I missed it?
One of my favorites. Love that you went 18's too. Cant wait to see these on Same car, the rear specs are almost identical to his old setup which is on James "vipdout" car. The fronts will need some work.
awesome...
OH SNAP NBK CUPS!!!!! Lucky!!!!! These are on my top list of all time wheels. I prefer the step lip but either way they are still all kinds of WIN Congrats homey! :biggthumpup:
SO JEALOUS RIGHT NOW one of my favorite wheels. damn.
wow thats nice!!:biggthumpup:
Dammmm..these are gonna look sick...very very nice wheels and size....
Perfect example of 'off the chain!!!'.

Rob the wheels are killer playa!!!
Mike was telling us about his homie buying these yesterday haha. I loved the previous set up im sure this will be sick as well. I'll go against the crowd and say 19s would have been sicker.
i guess 18s the way to go now... go low or go home type of deal!!

OMG puurreeeee siiikkknneesssss :biggthumpup::biggthumpup:
lets see the updated pictures!
18"s have always been my size of choice when it comes to the medium sized vip styled sedans. I love really low cars and this one does it for me. Always has though. Good work!
siiick! With the right stance and fitment 18s are nice.
18's and classic 5-spoke never looked so good.
the rear is perfect, the front is a little small, but still looks good, anymore side shots?
looks freaking sick!
sick
looks good. I want to see some better pics to get a good idea of the 18's. im always debating between 19's and 20's but prefer 19's. Now it seems like 18's are getting popular again. either way ive always liked this car. good shit man.

(doesn't get much love in japan apparently). i mean, i love vip for what it is, but as time goes on it's less and less for me. i like to see that guys are putting serious effort into getting low on timeless wheels and leaving it at that.
New look came out Clean Rob. Props to getting them all done and pulling the 18 in look off Looking forward to seeing more new pictures
all that comes to mind is FML!! haha
wow those are nice
so why the choice in smaller wheels? man i might be thinking about going 18s now lol it def be alot less on tires! but who knows..... mike and rob that def does look dope! what are the specs on the tires?
18s get u lower.

More low trumps everything all day in my book. The new set up is simple, clean, yet so agg. Good move!
Thanks again fellas, Blk nailed it rite on the head what i was trying to acheive. Alot of thought and ideas went through my head on the choice of wheels and size, you are definately alot lower on 18's and I'm sure the other guys riding on 18's can agreee. I noticed rite away driving through the city, There are alot of streets that rise up in the middle just from the abuse the busses give, I hear alot more scrapeing going on =). I know im on air and I can raise the car if I want but the whole purpose of having fender and quarter body work done was to drive low and thats what I'm gonna do. And the reason for silver faces was to color match the car, I was getting bored with the same finish all the time. I hope to have more pics I can share shortly. I apreciate the feedback fellas here is one more of the rear [IMG]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/phillygs3/tft021.jpg[/IMG]
man that shit loooks toooooo dope!!! i might look into some 18s now lol
SICK!!!!!!!!!!
Not a fan of 18s on the 2GS but if I had to do 18s, this is how I would do it. Excellent wheel choice, the 5 spoke design doesn't make them seem as small.
Damn... looks proper Rob!
damn dude...looks good! props to you for rollin around like that. i drove thru philly last weekend and roads are terrible.

I had 18's on my RL and it wasn't as low as yours but it was decently low and I had the same issues. I love the 18's and hope you stay with that diameter cause they look great and the car lower to the ground looks even better! I love the simple approach you have taken with your car. I am trying to achieve the same style with mine.
Looks much better in person. We shot for the Liberty calendar last night and it was turning heads all over. Even the police didn't harass. We set up a barricade with no permit in a real busy street and they just parked their cop car and watched lol

I would love to see some of your cars in person for sure.
I personally think the new wheels are wack. You sell them ASAP.....to me. lol. just kidding. I was really skeptical when u said u were going 18s but these are definitely very proper. And the offsets are pretty crazy. I guess that helps alot too. Stance is def alot meaner. And I feel you on the scrapping through the city even on air. I like ride low and park even lower. :biggthumpup: -Smitty
no way that lip is going to survive on coils philly :smiley-rofl: The wheels don't look small like I would've imagined.
What's the difference with the survival of the lips? Coils or on Air? The stress is always going to be on the inner barrel due to the camber... I think he'll be just fine due to the width of the wheels... (too wide to fit inside the typical pot hole)... tested and proven here in NYC roads...

what are the plans for the BC's? I just installed mine, now waiting for shortened shock bodies so i can go lower. Are you doing swift springs or are they doing custom valving and springs based on your requests?
18/16. custom rate and valving, short body.

I'm curious on feed back of how you like it compared to your set up before
Do I spot some fender gap in there? Shit's low as fuck though :biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=PANCAKES!;403175]I'm curious on feed back of how you like it compared to your set up before[/QUOTE] so far so good, I went with the short bags this time. My ride height is 120 psi in the bags, its like having coil overs but being able to park on the ground. only downside is you lose alot of lift. with the front bags full up is about 2 finger space between the tire and fender so if you drive 4x4 this is not for you ( not directed towards you pancakes) this is just to give people a heads up. If you need your lift I recomend the regular aero sport bags. Which I think defeats the whole purpose of running coils with bags. Alot of my problems were riding low with the aero sport bag which was giving me too much rebound causing me to bottom out all the time and fuking my alignment up. hopefully this will correct my problem with going through tires every 1k miles. Oh and the ride is comfy as a mofo =) [QUOTE=Juzzo;403182]Do I spot some fender gap in there?

I ride to low to where there's little to no air in the bag so riding around there's almost no travel at times My new set up coming is like yours coil+bag and I'm hoping I can jus adjust the collars low and have enough air play for rebound/travel adding to a more comfrotable ride. I don't have the option for a shorter bag though, so I'm kinda praying that the bag it comes w/ will still allow for a lower height. Good stuff! Thanks for the response:biggthumpup:
