I like this car; but agree with above...19s look big and these are "big looking" 19s, with the poke and stretch it's kind of nuts. I think with 18s or 19s with a lip and less stretch it'd be crazy. Love the BBK.

Why BBK? With heavy ass wheels like those the rotating mass would probably slow down the car faster than stock lol. Sorry not my cup of tea, 19's look way to big for this car imo.

damn fools be hatin cause they can't afford nice stuff right out of the jump. why hate on a nice looking car? i know its your opinon but if you have a bigger wheel it will take longer to stop if you do not have a BBK.
i guess stick to your stock wheel and tire combo and have a GOOD DAY SIR

I think the car looks great- he also hit 3 main aspects of performance being suspension, brakes, and tires/wheels all in one weekend with some of the best parts available. Bravo! :happy0180:

Why BBK? Watch and learn- [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3FDthcLieE"]The Science of Wheel Performance: Rotational Inertia - YouTube[/ame]

Bigger wheels= need more power to get moving + bigger brakes to stop.

Hey Tyler,

I agree with you, they are on the big side and the tire side would be more amicable with 18's.

Wanted to try something different, 18's will be on the car in a couple of weeks.

9j/10j stagger is cool, but stepping down to 18s would allow you to run the same width tire but with 40 series sidewalls. I think that would make the stretch look so much better and not as extreme as it does with those 35 series.

I like the wheels though.

Thanks!,

Yes, these are the first set made in the 1 piece SNA's.

Could of went more conservative, but decided - why not just do it. I can always change it later..

That wheel design looks awesome on this car. A little to much stretch for my taste though.

Not all of us want 17x7 +45 rpf1's so we can shave 2 seconds off of our local autocross runs, nothing wrong with just cruising and enjoying the looks of your own car.

I didn't know Rotora was still in business. Did you get your bbk from their location here in Socal (IE) or did you get thru a distributor?
