I have been a member for a a good while, but have never posted pics or vids, so I thought it was about due.

Here are a couple of pics:





Here are my vids, they are at a crappy angle so the speedo reads about 5-8 slow, especially after 70mph.

From a dig:

From a 2nd gear roll:

What is wrong with the rims??, I happen to like them. And the custom grill IMO looks far better than the stock, but I guess to each their own.

EDIT: I guess you can't really see the grill in the pics, but there is one there trust me.

 

Motegi's are just ugly, in my opinion. I wouldn't even buy their Trak-Lite's (only set that is somewhat decently manufactured). They're a "Wal-Mart Special", so-to-speak, in the realm of rims. You can get them at any decent tire dealership for cheap.

And the grille, albeit shows originality, it lacks luster. It actually makes the car look like it's missing something. And, I'd put an RS or a mesh/knock-off in there from eBay.

i agree with 99%, but TrakLites are dope man. I would rock em if I ever felt like spending $250 per wheel on motegi's.

That's the main reason why I won't buy them. They're quite expensive for what they are.

PS. Oh, and the 15" Lover Souls are 15.8lbs, and the 17" are 18.2lbs.

 

Haha, thanks for the Lover's weight.

I heard they were 15lb's for 15"....

Right now, me and a few local guys are setting up buying a crate of JDM rims in the summer, so hopefully that pans out and i can get some real rims

They are not Motegi's they are Enkei RS7s http://www.enkei.com/Performance%20specs/rs7.html. I do have a mesh grill that I made, but you can't really tell in those pics. I see if I have some better pics and post them up.

Regardless, they still look super heavy, and IMO cheap.. UR car would be tight if it was a tad lower, and had some nice lightweight wheels. Ur car would also be faster too

My apologies. The picture was too small for me to identify properly.

Not sure of the exact weight, but they are not real heavy by any means. Also this thing is as low as it will go to still allow optimal handling, so it can serve its primary purpose as an autox car. I am not sure of any suspension that will allow you to go much lower before you begin to bottom out the shocks on hard turns. You could get stiffer springs, but it would be hell for daily driving.

 

verrryyy nice!
