Snagged a set of 18x8 OZ racing classe wheels on Craigslist for stupid cheap that actually fit my stupid focus.

18x8 et35, 5x108. They have tires but I'll just toss them. Will give a more aggressive stance though so should be good. They are in pretty good shape, but considering the price I got them at I think I will spring for a refinish. A good sand blasting and powder coating will hopefully be found for reasonable prices

Edit: obligatory bing picture (not Google :p)

I think kchan owns ffd he gets it for free i bet!
Hmm.. depending on my measurement with 1m fenders and flares i would be interested. Perhaps if we buy both at the same time we can get a discount.haha


@kchan any revscene members discount for the 18x10 et25 :badpokerface:

77civic1200 11-24-2015 12:06 AM

Jesus, those tires are almost 6 years old already

hud 91gt 11-24-2015 07:17 AM

I've never really noticed the date on tires before. Are the tires on sale usually old stock?

I second this motion for extra special member pricing on 18x10 Et32...


Kalson, Any chances of an 18x11 in the works? :fullofwin:

kchan 11-24-2015 04:03 PM

no 18x11 !

jackp0t - pm me

while its true those tires are almost 6 years old, winter compound should be no problem still since they heat up quite fast - if anything it is still better than all-seasons or summers

Im putting together a Walnut blasting kit for the n54 motor shitty carbon buildup flaw.

First of the BF stuff arrived in Point Roberts. Engine mounts, hoses, radar detector and boost tap. All declared and waved through, no taxes, FTW!

OEM carbon fibre parts... was hard to justify cost but <3

westopher 12-03-2015 11:27 PM

Try and fit 1 rep body part on your car and you will never have a problem justifying the cost ever again.

Got my interior Swissvax goodies today and gave my car a complete interior detail, pretty amazing stuff.

I initially went in for a custom tune but was told my sh*t was too basic to warrant the cost of the chip and dyno tune, so I just threw her on the dyno for a baseline.

She made some farty noises and then went BWAAAHHH up to redline.

Apparently that's WHP shown on the graph which made me more than happy for a 2000 lb car.

They even threw this in for fun.

Thanks to the guys at Evolution Auto, good honest guys that won't up sell you unnecessary stuff.

westopher 12-08-2015 12:05 PM

Hmm, impulse buy.
