I also put a set of Spc lower arms on.... one wasn't up to snuff, but I talked to spc today and they are taking care of it.
The adjustment tabs are barely welded on, needless to say one broke off leading to a very expensive alignment.:bonk:

Shit Luck 04-04-2013 04:14 PM

here are pics of the wheels as they sit. I have been getting a lot of questions on the offset and fitment.

I should probably try to fit a set of 225/45/16 or some 215/45/16 tires to avoid possible rubbing under hard driving conditions.

HATED1 04-06-2013 01:04 AM

so what are your impressions now with the fixed SPC lower arms?

forzajuve 04-06-2013 01:21 AM

How is it driving 16's vs. 17's? It looks damn good with 16's

16's feel pretty close to 17's to be honest.

You probably get better slightly better gas mileage too right? from the size difference alone

its all but the same overall diameter as stock. It is lighter, at least my back tells me it is, forgot to weigh it officially.

Shit Luck 04-10-2013 12:22 AM

Today I finally got around to putting the amsoil in the tranny and diff.
the stock noise generator fitting works great for filling the tranny. Attached to a piece of hose from the engine bay and pressed into the trans it makes for an easy one man job.
As for filling the diff an old dish soap bottle makes for a great solution to filling the diff.

I have to say. For me the wheels looks a litle small(for my taste), I think the retro look works so well with the car. Nice wheel choice

Ya I think I would have preferred a bigger wheel as well.

FR-Z STI 04-17-2013 05:00 PM

Tires so meaty

MTCRX 04-17-2013 05:04 PM

I actually like how these look. Nice proportions and they fill out the wheel well. Not some pencil thin sidewalls on oversized rims, that is so 2012.

Spd229 04-17-2013 05:24 PM

I've been thinking about these wheels or a similar look. Either this or something like the te37.

It looks great. The tires are probably a little cheaper too.

thanks, no point in destroying a performance car so you can put big wheels on it.

I wouldnt mind trying a set of te37s. tires are about the same money.

MemphisR 04-18-2013 02:33 AM

I did mean that as compliment. I can appreciate peoples different styles with have to be in love with them. I was also thinking of a retro wheel for mine. Just maybe and inch or two bigger. I look forward to your updates. :thumbup:

Nice man, I'm also currently building a MK1 race car, Scirocco to be exact :respect:

Currently awaiting the final wiring wrap up and what not (16v swap with VW Motorsport CIS basic and a knock sensing ignition from a later GTI)
