Hey Darren it looks nice. Those tires look meaty.

Turbowned · 06-02-2012, 01:46 PM

EDIT: my posts keep getting deleted. I'm not hating, but seriously, your fitment is a little off. Maybe lowering/alignment will fix. If you're cool with it, no worries.

How much does the rim weight? Looks nice

Future · 06-02-2012, 07:52 PM

could you put closer pics from front/rear to see how much poke, etc... thanks

Yeah, I deserved that. :/

Sure but the rim is still protruding. I don't have any idea on the regulations there but here the entire wheel has to be within the fender.

What's the point of that ? I hate how it looks

You might be able to sell it like this to Canadian Pacific or Soo Line as a utility vehicle if it fits on their tracks. I would sure beat their GM pickups.

Seriously, I think the wheels look great, but I agree that they should be inside the fenders.

Haters gonna hate. Once you drop it it'll look alot better. Some negative camber will do you good. Can I have a picture from the back?

I am wondering how im going to fit 17x9 et 17 in the back lol.

Wreakin · 06-03-2012, 01:31 AM

Looks pretty good. Definitely needs a drop though.
Can we get close up pictures?

eikond · 06-03-2012, 01:36 AM

I like the wheels.. They have a little more poke in the front than I would like.

My big complaint though is your tires.. way too much sidewall. 50's are much too tall.

YaX · 06-03-2012, 02:09 AM

Started off by choosing a great color and style of wheel for your FRS.

That fitment and stretched tires were a mistake. Screwed it up.

DarrenDriven · 06-03-2012, 03:38 AM

I know that haters are going to hate. Asking people to keep their opinions to themselves about the style is pretty much worthless, I guess.

Here are some more photos with tires on.

igorot · 06-03-2012, 03:42 AM

Don't worry about the haters. I'm glad that ur taking this approach and pioneering for us. Those haters are mostly boy-turned-racers. Looks like it'll be a good flush once it's dropped.

DarrenDriven · 06-03-2012, 03:57 AM

Yeah, that's what I am thinking, too. I ordered Eibach springs, but I am thinking that might not be enough of a drop now...
