Which wheels to run?
Justins '05 POS Winter Idea Thread
Soooo most of you know my car...and stuff, so I won't spend too much time on that.
I'm looking for input/ideas for what to do with it come spring. Subtle things, i'm not dumping much more money into it. Looking for ideas like which wheels to run etc.
Wheels I currently own:
5Zigen Super 6's, 17" x 7" +42 Silver with polished lips
ARE 5 spokes, 16" x 7" +32 silver with black accents
'93 Cobra Reps, 17" x 8.5" +23 black with polished lips/silver centercaps
Classic Audi's 15" x 6" +38 silver (but too small to clear svt brakes...so...for sale) Silver
What I'm contemplating buying:
ARE's owned by Jon
16" x 7" and 16" x 8", polished
So far spring plans:
Replace starter since it's a POS and can't crank over the 11.2:1 compression
Lower another 1/2"
Build skid plates for underneath the car since the fuel tank is the lowest point (About 1.75" off the ground) Also want one under the front end to save the front subframe and oil pan.
And, to make it easier heres pics on each wheels...I want votes!
5Zigen Super 6's
5 Spoke ARE's
Cobra Reps
Jon's ARE's: (He needs to post pics cuz i dont have any)

He had them for sale, someone gave him a $200 non-refundable deposit, then never sent the rest of the money

Re: Justins '05 POS Winter Idea Thread
^LOL! Wow that guy needs to learn how to spend his money but heck thats what happens!
And I picked Jon's ARE's! They look like 17's because of the lips are .5" bigger than the barrel both ways so they measure 17x9 and 17x8.2 if you measure with the lips which is obviously the incorrect way to measure but it makes a difference looks-wise.
Also Justin you need to PM me, I know of a set near you that is amazing and rare and awesome and inexpensive for what they are. Awwww hell heres the link: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5086134-17x7.5-ET-35-OZ-Speedline-Mistals-500

Re: Justins '05 POS Winter Idea Thread
Ken I've known about those for a while bud..not a huge fan. If I had extra cash I'd pick them up anyways, but I don't :/
I gotta price out how much it'll cost to fix Jons.
Blake...make an offer and I'll bring the 5zigens to FR11 for you. SUPER light, and in pretty good shape.

I vote those 5 spoke ARE's but they'd need work to be acceptable. (width) so Cobra's that I didnt know you still had will do.

Re: Justins '05 POS Winter Idea Thread
Well, the votes are in and you guys won! I sold the 5Zigen Super-6's, they are being picked up Saturday. The sale is paying for brand new Falken ZIEX ZE-912's (205/45/16) for the 5 spoke ARE's! I'll be keeping those and the Cobra Reps.
In other news:
I just bought a new starter via EBAY, thatll be going in in a week or two. I'm looking at buying a new wiring harness to swap in place of the one HTP hacked together, and I'm also selling the Duratec J&S Safeguard for $250...if anyone wants it. I'll install the starter and if the car runs, next on the list will be skidplates!

Update- IT LIVES!
I put the new starter in today, turned it off twice and she started right up! I have a junk battery in it so if I even so much as turned the lights on the idle would drop 300 rpms and the gauges would shut off but...it runs and I'm happy!
I also just bought 4 Falken Ziex ZE-912's in 205/40/16 for the ARE's. GOOD WEEK!
