The wheel hoarding continues....more new shoes.

New wheels on the wagon. Excuse the pix, we have no good cameras, but you get the idea. They are polished 16x8 rota slips. Lemmie know what you think. Im pretty happy with how they look. Undecided on wether or not they stay this color.

    They look sweet. Now you don't have to worry about the paint chipping off those rotas. :lol:

    astuto, I plan on slotted rotors. Crossdrilled tends to crack when used for competition unless they are Porsche rotors, lol. Undecided on the color I wanna paint the calipers as of now.

    The car is awd, I see no reason to mess with wagons unless they are. I have my other cars for fwd stuff. No ofence to fwd wagon owners at all, some of the dopest wagons on here are fwd.

    My suspension on the this car is Progress coilovers and Suspension Techniques Proarms and Dropforks, which BTW are no longer available. The swaybar is a 22mm Progress as well. I need to do a little modifing to the endlinks, they are rubbing on my wider tires.

    Heres a pic.

    nw_war, those wheels are sick as hell. Props to you guys. Very original.

    adam, thanks man! They are growing on me for sure. I was skepticle at first cause thiers so many cars around with Slips, but I couldnt pass up the deal.

    evol911, thanks as well. Are Rotas known for paint chipping off? News to me if so.

    it's what i've heard, nothing first hand. chipping and fading but you don't have to worry bout that anymore.

    i really like how low you did it. i have a rt4wd too and i want to lower it like yours. where do you think i can get that suspension. i know for the ffront suspension its the same as any other civic but the back im pretty sure is different since its a 4wd wagon. did you have to customize something i guess? love the work you did man. pro style :twisted:

    Thanks adam! Much appreciated!

    NJ, thanks man! I snapped some pix when I got home for a thread I cant find now. Kinda shows the stretch on the 205's. Suprised me when I first got them back. Gives me a lot of room to play with the setup as you can see. I just need to go get my buddies fender roller so I can get the stance Im looking for with the d-wagon.

    evol911, lol, I do still have to worry. I have some gunmetal grids on another car.

    astuto, both pieces are from my DB1, but finding those parts is like looking for mugen parts at the junkyard. The only real fab crap was the swaybar.

    You could make the ST stuff work from any 88-00 civic/ 90-00 integra. If they were from a 92+ civic or a 94+ Integra, youd have to convert to the larger diameter struts. Thats if you could find that ST stuff. I got lucky when I found these.

    Thanks for the props, I really appreciate it!
