lower ur car more.. it would make the rim look bigger cuz it look kind of small in the pictures... just my opinion

 

Love the wheels minty! If you lower your car more, it'll be like mine and you're going to have to lift your car ghetto style =P

 

good call there 4dr...wait nah it wasnt, i dont think he bought them for the bling bling appeal, great wheels though, does change the look...all for the better, not to mention a great deal on a great wheel

 

hehe, yah, no bling bling here. just wanted somethign else to use for autocrosses.. i hate to kill everyday driven tires.

 

Looks good. My 17" Kosei K1s came in, but tirerack messed up [I'm not suprised, they messed up on my Konis also, but that's another story]. They sent me the K1s in a 35+ offset. Unless I'm an RX-7 I'm not going to be using those wide rims. Anywho, those were the last set of 17" Kosei K1s for a while since Kosei only makes their rims for Tirerack. Pretty gay, I guess I'll wait until March/April for them to makes some new ones.

 

That doesn't appear to be a Type-R. Wouldn't it be a little more appropriate in the appearance or Integra forum?

Anyways, that's a very clean nice looking car.


EDIT: Nevermind, I see you posted this on Integra forum as well.

Is that a palm tree...damn you!

Yeah, I want a set of 16's for street use since my stockers are all banged up already.

tj

 

I'm looking to perhaps buy a set of stock 99 gsr rims.....r u selling em? Car looks great btw.

weird.... everyone thinks that my wheels are for sale

sorry the wheels are not for sale. I will still be using them for daily driving. The new rims and comp tires will be for autocross only

Sweet pics & rims!

 

Looks nice. Now get out of the Type R forum and go back where you belong with your GSR! J/K!

 

Looks good

 

Fabulous wheels...

 

I haven't seen PICS or your car in a while or maybe even never. Looks very nice! I like the body kit on it.

Ok to answer your question about pressure; You may run the stock pressure for the first run and adjust all day to decide where you feel comfortable. I ran stock and then ran on Hoosier A's 40F40R after playing with the PSI in 1 lb increments the last time. But, they were someone elses tires and he was adjusting them. I've also seen them run like 38F and 45to50R on a stock Si to get better rotation. Of course these pressures were the last session we went to here in Southern NY and it was about 50 degrees and sunny. You may however notice some pressure Creep in the warmer climate with Khumo's and decide to actually lower the pressures as far as 27F and 33to31R depending on what you want.

All in all I'd just start at stock pressures and adjust accordingly + or - . So your first auto-X on these may not be your most competitive day overall but, certainly a day to learn and acquaint yourself with those new rims and tires.


Good luck,

A.
