chris_agu28 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I got them today from a guy on craigslist. They are dirty btw. I hope you guys like them, I will post more tomorrow when it is day light out. They are 17" g-racing Kuji rims with 205/40/R17s on them. Now gotta look into lowering the car. The old rims I will be selling shortly. Enjoy.
Nancy Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 a little too big, imo. i like 14''-16'' for all older hondas. because if you put big ass wheels and lower it, itll still look 4x4ish. but if you like them then thats all that matters.
chris_agu28 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 In the pics they look soo big, but sit nice on the car. A lot nicer then what I was thinking when I was putting them on. I went from 15's to 17's. The 15's were too small.
lceah Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 they look good...nice choice I like the color contrast...
Hatch92 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 they look could. could use a good cleaning but still looks good. oh and do you wheel with that thing? it looks like it could use a drop.
Humphries Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 i hate motegi MR7s thats what those are, just different brand. but good job if you like them.
TS John Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Haha. I can't see the pictures but I was gonna put 17" mr7s on my sol back in the day before I realized how much they would slow me down. I actually really like the look of them. They're so simple they look like they could be stock, which is what I like. To me, cars with aftermarket wheels often look cheap even if they're really nice wheels for some reason.
Tubbith Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Clean 'em up and it shoul look pretty good. What were the rims you had on your car before... im looking for something smaller for my car... might be interested when you go to sell them.
delsol209 Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 yea they look good man, show us how it looks when you drop that biaa
vr4girl Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 looks good chris. sorry i didnt come hang out yesterday. i was so tired and had a migraine. or i would have helped yall clean them :]
chris_agu28 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 The funny thing is that he had a pair of motegi mr7s as well. But I liked the white better then the silver. and after picking both up, these weighted alot lighter. Don't worry liz, These are still dirty and you can come help clean them up. I glad you guys like them. I just gotta work on getting a new tire cause one of them are bad, somebody slashed one. What is a good tire or tires to get.
CleanGSR Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 i hate motegi MR7s thats what those are, just different brand. but good job if you like them. I agree. I hate the way those look and 17's are too big. 15's are not too small at all....unless you don't like decent performance.
chris_agu28 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Here are some more recent pics during the day light. what do you guys think during the day light? That first pic has my buddies honda in the background. The red 95 Si hatch,
chris_agu28 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks alot, the top is dirty, Honestly the car is pretty dirty cause of the pollen floating around and my car is turing yellow from it. but it just rained today so it is all good now. Thanks for the comment though.
lceah Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 that's pretty dirty to you? wow...clean body/well kept...Sol's are pretty unique (I rarely see one)...this one is niiice!
EH6TunerDaniel Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Is your top brown? 15's is the biggest I would go with on a 00 and older Honda. Putting 17's on my car was the worse thing I ever did to it.
chris_agu28 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 naw it is yellow from crazy pollen attack. They love my top so much I dunno why. But the interior is falling apart. The targa top handles broke and so did both door handles. So it sucks. I looking to replace all of the handles. for about 70 bucks from honda and that is oem. Have not hit the junk yard yet.
EH6TunerDaniel Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Find someone online parting out a Sol, I got mine for like 10 bucks like that.
chris_agu28 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Where did you find yours? like craigslist or something like that?
Hatch92 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 it needs a drp it looks like a truck ready for wheelin. however it still lloks good just adrop would make it look even better.
chris_agu28 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 how many inches do you think would be good? like about 2 maybe 1.5?
CleanGSR Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 3 inch drop and holy crap those wheels are way too big for that car. Might as well get spinners in my opinion.
EH6TunerDaniel Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I found mine on solsociety. Craigslist isnt really all that big around here. And careful, dont drop it too low, this happened with my 2 1/2" drop.
lceah Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 would the 3" drop need camber kit on this Sol then?
