With the body kit, I think the 5 fat spokes and the deep-dish polished lip look would be fuckin sweet!

I think either of those 2.. I voted for 009's just b/c I like the smaller spoked ones usually..

coo, thanks for the input. Its basically down the 009's or the konigs because the 003's are not available in 17X8's.
I cant change the poll, but it doesn't pay to vote 4 the middle one.

My vote is for the 009s. I like the skinnier spokes better.

The 009's for sure. The Konig's look frickin heavy!
How much and where are you getting the 009's from??

Do you like any of these Paul? or do you really need an 8inch wide rim?

A)205/40's would be too small.
B) I just bought some 235/45/17's tires
C) wide rims and tires look better!

^^ these ^^
a 235 tire looks great on a 7" wide rim... sticks out just a tad past the wheel. plus a 7" rim weighs less than an 8" rim. you can even put a 245 on a 7" rim if you want. it's tight, but works good.

So buy a set of just rims from that guy on ebay. he sells just rims too. probably be able to pickup a set of 17x7's maybe even 7.5in wide for under $450 shipped.

My theory is, if i'm gonna spend the money, i might as well get what I want! :)
Get evo's... 009's for my vote.

Nope. should clear everything. haven't really driven it yet. I'm still pretty amazed I could fit the huge tires on it!

how hard was mounting those evoZ's with the very stiff sidewall?
DontStopMe
03-29-2008, 04:18 PM
Not bad. Only took like an hour and 1/2 to mount and balance all 4 tires with 2 people.

he does have a nice setup, another stall and a bit deeper for a tire changer and balancer would be perfect.
