just a few teaser pics, as this set doesn't clear my calipers....





due to a screwup assembling the wheels, i do not have the appropriate brake clearance. i am dying to get these things on the car for an event. topeka is coming up pretty fast...

 

nice fender.

 

Don't let your wife catch you using her tupperware to hold hardware

 

So are you going to ship them back and wait for new ones?

got them yesterday at 5:00 pm, they were shipped at 6:30, as i had them just long enough to take the pics. i should have the others by the beginning of next week i would imagine.

 

Damn dude, wheels, hood, flares...what's next Supah-Chahhhga? Did you recently win the lottery or something?

 

Check the rims to see if they have the hump for the bead lock/seat just in from the lip. I don't know what tires and pressure you are running but I know several MG prod car racers who run real racing slicks on pretty low pressures who've trouble with Keisers.

Their Keiser wheels did not have the bead seat built in and they were popping the beads off whn cornering and generating side forces then basically causing flat tires at speed. Your situation will have different characteristics (heavier car, faster transition to full cornering load on autocross vs. road race, etc.) but you'll want to make sure you don't have this potential problem.

Pretty wheels, they remind me of the old Gotti design.

 

also be really careful about who you let mount tires for you as those wheels are comperable to aluminum foil in strength.

 

Id love to see that car in action. I can just imagine the cornering forces that you will be able to generate.

 

Great idea with the plywood under the car. Many home mechanics forget this little tip.

finally got wheels...well, almost. now fix the seating posittion so i can drive it and ull be all set

 

Did you decide to run staggered front and rear or are you planning on massaging the rear quarter panels and running 8.5 's all around?

just in the front for now. we'll see how the car handles. i like to hit things with the rear, so added girth will only make that worse

 

Damn nice wheels, how much did you fork out for them???

 

Wow! Looking foraward to seeing that beeotch up at the next Devens event!

 

Nice.......I like the "see-though" hood, very sexy

Good Luck at the National

damn... i need to paint it. it is funny how you can see through it though.

 

Where did you get the fenders from? or did you have them made?

i had them made to my specs. not cheap.... i had little interest when i offered them up for sale. not exactly a bolt on, as you have to fab up some sort of bracket for the bumper (bumper attaches to the original fender) i sold one set to someone on the board, but they have not installed them as of yet.

 

Working on installing them...still in the midst of engine swap/turbo install/car rebuild. I may get to them over labor day weekend, but most likely mid September or early October.
The fenders are not plug and play as there is some finishing needed and some mounting stuff that has to be fab'd, but they look good. Once I get the car on the road I'll fully document the fender install from start to finish.

I'm running 225/45/15 on 15x7.5 with a 48 offset right now.

What size tires do you expect to run?

Please do..im trying to source that kind of fender for my 91 civic but have no place to turn to...i may need to make my own plug and start from scratch. My hatch just looks kinda funny with 13X7 compmotives sticking out like a lowrider..
