Wheel Directory: Phat Fux Ballzy 18x9.0 +35




New pictures on Page 3


I love my car...... even more right now

Wheels : (lol) Phat Fux - Ballzy (Weds TC105n copy) 18x9 +35
Tires : NS2 225/40R18
Suspension : Fortune Auto 500 V4 + Swift Springs upgrade

I have to say that Fortune Auto coilovers are AMAZING. I've had Cuscos, Apex'i, Tein and KW, and these have definetely the best ride I've ever seen... I shaved 2.5 seconds on my lap time at my local track on the first run.

By the way, car will be lowered some more soon enough... Just want the springs to "sit" before doing it.

Those wheels! They look brilliant!

Do they have a website, or ship to Australia?

Those 18x9 wheels look awesome! I know that these wheels are super lightweight, which might give you some performance advantage over heavier wheels. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new shoes =)
