**nandanrp** · 10-19-2006, 07:43 AM

I love Works, but they are heavy

(which is fine for winter, I guess

)

***VSGTS14*** · 10-19-2006, 08:25 AM

the 17" ones weren't too heavy, def not as heavy as the 18"
mounted to a 27 lb tire, boy was that a heavy combo.

Chris05STi · 10-19-2006, 08:32 AM

Yah these are 17's...so they will be mounted on Michellin All-Seasons.....should be bad...plus they are just for winter! I know the 18's are a lot heavier...thats why Czr sold his.

haroman311 · 10-20-2006, 03:40 PM

yeah, im about to buy some rota torques and some blizzaks for winter.

sebtarta · 10-23-2006, 10:53 AM

Bump for Chris to make a poll on which wheels to use for winter!

I say the ASA's for winter and the Works to cruise around.

If not ban you!

Seb knows what he's saying.

I will ban you if you don't use the works for driving around (the asa's for winter and the bbs's for track).

Chris05STi · 10-23-2006, 07:45 PM

17" ASA JH3's with Bridgestone Potenza RE070's (Thanks Seb). For the meantime while I go meet Tim for the Gold BBS!!!

These are my Track Back-ups/Track Setup.

sebtarta · 10-24-2006, 03:54 AM

Hey the car does not look that bad at all with those wheels on.

I guess you managed to put them on yesterday. Did you ge the 1/2" extension? (this is going to be quoted at the homo page, IBITWILL!)

Chris05STi · 10-24-2006, 04:52 AM

I got the part for the RACHET.....

Yah I got the 5" extension for the 1/2" Rachet....worked out perfectly! I used the stock lugs and it was perfect. Looks really good...I didn't expect the car to look this nice with the rims, but it turned out really nice. Thanks again Seb!

Update:

-Picking Up the Work Emotions from Billy.
-Sillver BBS Rims are being dismounted from the tires.
-Metting Tim on Thursday night, to get my Gold BBS Rims

-Sometime over the weekend, I will have the Gold BBS Rims mounted to the RE070's, and the Work Emotions Mounted on the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2's!!!!!!!! 2 sets of rims in one week...boo yah!
-Working out my Cusco Coilovers...

....oh yah!

sebtarta · 10-24-2006, 05:29 AM

Do us a favor and before you decide in doing what you want to do, weigh the ASA's again the Work's...you will see why.

Chris05STi · 10-24-2006, 05:34 AM

Oh I know the difference!!! But the Work Emotions would never be my track rims....neither would the ASA's really....I plan to use the Gold BBS ones as the tracks, when I eventually get a set of Prodrives. For now, the ASA's will only be used as backups/track backups/track use. The BBS for All summer/track/etc. Work for winter, and the main reason is, they are used already........and they are dark in the gunmetal....it would kill me to see the ASA's being allll gunked...cause I hate driving around with dirty rims, that makes the car look bad.

Call me crazy......I am just a baller at heart

Looking forward to the Defi pics. I spent the last few hours of my internet life reading this journal and I must say that the mods you have planned out and the mods I want to do are very very much alike.

Car is awesome man!

Clarque · 10-24-2006, 03:43 PM
