old school work emitz
18x9 -17 clears big brakes with ease
rear is 18x10 -30 but im waiting on parts to put it on (traction rods)

I also shortened my downpipe

not sure how i feel about those wheels, but I am looking forward to seeing the rears on, for the full effect. They sure are old school.

wow is that your UAS + coilover setup? i have a question,.. if i use insurance coilovers to my current setup would i be able to slam it all the way down with the kit hitting the floor like yours? i just put on my rims and the back doesnt drop as low as the airrunners... im thinking its the UAS and stock struts thats stopping me from going lower.

yeah as long as you have double tap coils, you can do it
im ytelling you 
this coilover+bag setup is the best thing ive ever seen
its still a performance oriented ride and i gained 2 inches on the up swing, and can slam it

yeah, it hink they discontinued htem mid 90s
ive been trying to find a set in crazy offsets for almost a year now, and finally did

i MIGHT try and sell them, but im not gonna haggle on them.
If they dont sell, ill completely refinish them, get htem painted to match my car and the flat parts polished, lips refinished

Emitz are a true baller wheel, it takes the right car to pull it off IMO.
they are rare, were hella expensive in teh day, and still are in some places.

i like those :biggthumpup:

i noticed these a while ago. not my steez but super og gangster. i would love to see them on something like a g50 president or an old school benz.

I dig it.

I was expecting another set of Kranze or Ordens, just in different sizes lol

wow, crazy hand shake in the first pic!   I wanna see pics with all the wheels on...

I've always liked Emitz. I wanted a set for my 240 back in the day. Looks good yo.

sick i love OG wheels

They definitely fit your ride but they kinda look like old Lincoln Town Car factories.

LOVE THEM AND WOULD ROCK THEM ALL DAY!!!

thats wsup!!!

more pics please

:biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: :biggthumpup: . I LOOOOOVEEEE THOSE WHEELS!!
 
so your air is done, are we goin into paint anytime soon or what??

I've always liked those but like you said it does take the right type of car to pull the look off right. I think they will be nasty once you get them refinished the way you want em. I say keep them on!!

so you ended up getting those emits. i remember you saying something about purchasing them. these wheels have finally started to grow on me.

Wheels look great, but I'm more interested in the shortening of the downpipe.. did that give you more clearance?!

First Allstar now you, these wheels are starting to grow on me.

look again
focus on teh wheel, not the rest of the picture

yes
i can roll fully dumped now, before the DP was resting on teh ground at full dump, but now its my bumper instead. worked like a charm. I took a little too much out and had to dent the floorboard a tiddy bit, but thats part of the game. 


Charley-
ever since i sold Sultan (from Ziptied and ZIlvia) his emitz, i wanted a set. this was two years ago, and i have yet to find another set until these a few months ago.

wow. awhile ago. i used to see them on memoryfab, and thought how funny these used to look. then the more and more i saw them, i liked.  and i actually looked them up recently and they are now gone. lol. oh well, i believe i already have too many wheels at home. not more than others, but more than what i should be having for not having so much dinero.
Keep it up
Charley

Looks good fits ur car nice

I like that pic! looks neat!! I like how you delayed the exposure! hehe...

you should take a pic of the whole side of the car...:)

Looks good. Your car would fit right in with those old school vip videos.

emitz looks hot on your car.  i actually just bought another set of emitz (from memoryfab, sorry charley), now i have 18x9,10,11,12 :laugh:  gonna try to make car legal again so i can finally roll on these.   

i do kinda want a set of those veilsides that are similar to the emitz but i think i really do have too many wheels right now (got 22 in the garage, 16 of them are 0 or negative offset :laugh: ).

yeah, i have like 5 full sets of wheels chilling
its rediculous
im abou to liquidate them all so i can finish my cars faster

wow, wheel *****s huh? jk. the more the merrier. and if in good condition its a plus.

I'm feeling it. I have always loved those wheels. Ride looks hot.

I really dig the throw backs for sure, you and Sultan should start an online catalog with your personal collections, I'm sure its quality would rival the best of the ones out there already if not blow them out of the water

yeah, if i did all the wheels i had in the last year, id have a catalog of soem of the rarest, and most expensive, best fitting wheels me things

<3 work emitz
 
i want a set :)

hot hot hot

so how long does it take to clean those....especially with brake dust from the endless pads?

ugh, i dunno
havent driven enough to notice

its been chillin in teh driveway, been doing Shaken on the Celsior for hte wife

for some reason those allways reminded me of daytons wire spoke wheels....:shrug:

yokotas,

wheels aside, have u thought about painting your bumpers-sideskirts cladding to match the car more ? It looks like it has 3 shades of white on it. I'd worry about that before I worry about wheels.
