Hmm...so Alex is buying Caesar's wheels, I wonder what he's getting next.

Honestly, haven't seen that kid keep a set of wheels longer than 3 months

[LightWerkz]

Nan Ive been pretty conservative. Ive rocked stock wheels for AWHILE knowing I had the money for new ones, Im just picky and I have been investing alot of my time into school and the business, also trying to actually pay off some debt.

Well ive gotten out of a deep hole I dug a few years ago and im virtually debt free besides a few hundred bucks.

I got the new 57f's because of the great price and the TA style was very cool. I put them on the car and now my car is all black. The wheels, tints, car color, full interior black, etc. etc..

You get my drift. I walk away from the car, and do that quick look back and my whole car is like a shadow. I need some type of contrast.

Again great looking wheels, just needed something more bling.

I dont know a single person on nasioc or iwsti who has the wheels I ordered on a suby, so it should be interesting.

Alex and I came to an agreement on price which is very fair for the both of us. Plus they were only used about 1000 miles, which is pretty damn new. Anyhow, congrats to the both of us Alex!

Congrats on the wheels Rac. They will look awesome on the CGM.

And congrats to you too man!

Thanks a lot man. I can't wait until get the tires mounted and get them on the car so I'll be able to see how they look in person. Unfortunately it'll be around 1 month from there.

[Rac10000]

so you guys think these are the answer? .......



Project Kics R40's (not chrome or anything). I have the option of 16 + 4 locks or 20 without any locks. Hmmmm.... Opinions?

[05cgm]

Without a doubt. I love mine and they do save the coating on the wheel. They are 2-piece so when the ring contacts the wheel, it stops spinning. Saves the finish of the wheel around the hub area.

[T3h_Clap]

no locks!! they are 7 sided anyway.

who are you ordering them through?

Cool, I didn't even think of that advantage.

Okay, no locks! I was thinking about ordering them through Gruppe-S.

I'm not going to pull the trigger yet, but I definitely will before my track days. I'm just planning.

I am assuming I can use these with my RPF1's too? I don't see why I wouldn’t be able too.

[sticop]

Im not sure if you are still looking for wheel opinions but i say straight gunmetal.

You car is very clean, its actually exactly what my first choice in sti's would be, same mods and everything. I got a great deal on my 04 wrb and i love it, but my 1st choice was an 05 cgm.

keep up the good work!

[Rac10000]

Okay guys, I know I said I was done, but I figured I’d give myself one more summer to get the car where I really want it.

Let the summer modifying fun begin … again!

Custom Rays 57F Time Attack Wheels 18x8.5, 17.8 lbs., cold forged and Falken Azenis RT-615 size 235/40/18. This will be my track setup. (thanks to Caesar ) ...





2 GReddy Oil catch cans and Freddie32001’s custom plumbing kit.


I never knew catch cans were so big.



NGK 1-Step Colder Spark Plugs…

[nandanrp]

Is that it, or more to come for summer?

RFP-1s = street wheels?

Cool stuff man... Where'd you buy the Greddy CCs?

Of course that's not it. That would be pretty weak. There is a lot more in the future weeks. Some parts should be arriving the middle of next week.

Yes, I plan on using the RPF1's as my street wheels. The offset (+35) is not ideal for track use. I need to do some tire switching (I don't want my r-comps on my RPF1's anymore). I decided that I am going to use the RT615's mounted on the 57F's as my track tires/wheels at least for the first two track days (June 22nd and 23rd). I may mount a set of my r-comps on the 57's for my 3rd track day (Aug. 20th).

I actually got the catch cans from Ben. He never used them and still had them around after he sold the HSPN racecar. They're pretty cool (and pretty big).


Here something that I neglected to put in my above post …

[evilSTi7]

[T3h_Clap]

Yea, thanks a lot. Now I have 5 sets of tires (seriously) for 1 damn car. I am about to put a set of my r-comps for sale.

I forgot a few other things ...

Black alcantara wrapped STi steering wheel with red stitching and added thickness. (thanks to Caesar ) It feels sooooo good!


2007 STi head-unit and auxiliary port (thanks to Caesar ) ...
