nobody Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 weak i had a good deal with ALL 4 rims and tires for 350! :((
alex37211 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Only way is to get ITR brake conversion (5-lug) Which runs about $1000. edit: 18's are too big anyway. (imo)
Orca89 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Even with a 5-lug conversion, the rolling diameter of those would pretty much have to be better than 1" greater than the Sol's designed for. (My 17's have tires about the same width, and my speedo is maybe 1/4 mph off at highway speeds). That would make your speedometer under-read by... 5% if my math is right. Hmmm... that's actually better than my Dad's Accord does.... albeit in the opposite direction. Well, after ruining my own argument... I guess cost and looks are the only valid reasons not to... Wish I could find that picture of a Sol with 22" rims
BrIaN EG2 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 del sol with 20's bleh 18's on a sol are a no-go, i got 15's and they look just fine. big wheels = FAIL!
Orca89 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 del sol with 20's bleh 18's on a sol are a no-go, i got 15's and they look just fine. big wheels = FAIL! Agreed. But even that's better than the one sol I found... It was jacked up by a good 3 feet and had at least 22" rims with good-sized tires on them... Probably about the size of what you see on your typical Escalade.
DelSolSweetie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 anything bigger then a 17 is basically stupid because you have to have the car so high to fit them
Orca89 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 anything bigger then a 17 is basically stupid because you have to have the car so high to fit them Even 17's are a bit iffy. Just sucks that maybe one rim out of twenty offers sizes 16" and under...
DelSolSweetie Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 a lot of rims have sizes under 16.. you just are not looking for the right ones i dont think the 17s look bad on mine.. i get a lot of compliments actually
Orca89 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 a lot of rims have sizes under 16.. you just are not looking for the right ones i dont think the 17s look bad on mine.. i get a lot of compliments actually I agree there are a lot, it's just there are a far cry more that don't. And a fair number of those that do look like crap... IMO of course. And yes, your Sol pulls off the 17's rather well. Mine does from the right angle, but I'd just prefer to have a bit more rubber between me and the road... Partly to protect the rims on PA's hideous roads, mostly because I don't feel like having expensive short-lived low-profile tires on my car...
DelSolSweetie Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 my tires are holding up pretty well.. i know people who run nittos of course and those dont last for crap
Orca89 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 my tires are holding up pretty well.. i know people who run nittos of course and those dont last for crap Well, I went from 6/32 to probably about 2/32 on my front tires in a matter of... 3k miles or so with normal, if not light use. Suffice to say they're now my rear tires.
DelSolSweetie Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 i drive about 400 miles just to school and back in a week during the semester not counting going to work during the week and weekend.. holding up pretty good i have raptors though.. idk what you have

Bad life, bad traction, bad tires.

VOLKS NIGGUH!!! lol I'll be sticking with the Si's. And the only reason I'd paint them is if they were really beat up... And I'd go gunmetal.
nobody Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 lol im allredi on that he said he bought the rims for 5 bills lol. ima sell em to some other guy i kno with a lude
BrIaN EG2 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 $500 with tires? not too bad but it might be hard to make a nice profit off that.. if youre lucky and can sell your ass off you could make about 700 if they have decent tread
nobody Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 nah he bought the rims for 5 bills. he was sellin me the wheels and tires for 350 cause he trying to help me out with ma first car. unfortunatly i got 4 lugs so now im lookin at these! http://uniquewheelsdirect.com/images/dr16.jpg 420 for all four
