New wheels

[Baz]

I have been looking for a nice "JDM" style wheel in 14x6" with a nice offset for the st for a long time now and these popped up forsale,not sure on the model but they are Rays Engineering. . . .this is how they looked when i got them with 165 70/14 tyres :laugh:

The little st then sat up like this for 3 weeks (Y)

And collected them today with a rand new set of Yokohama A048's on them

Let me know what you guys think

good work - powder coated or painted? either way its a good colour.

can you confirm the offset if they fit OK? I have a problem with mine.

BTW not sure about the tyre choice....over here yoko a048r are expensive for their performance - dunlop dz03 or bridgestone re55 perform better and are a little cheaper here.

Painted man ,they are et34 offset usually a 38 on these cars.As regards the tyre chice I wanted toyo R888's but they only came in a 60 profile so I went for these,its such a light car i doubt if it will make much difference tbh

yeah I've seen 88 work very well on light cars too. anyway they will sure be better than road tyres, they just drop off pretty quickly after a few heat cycles....stay away for daily use.

thanks re offset

No bother man ,what you mean drop off? as in grip level?

 

[ashley sw]

looking good baz, liking the colour

 

[Duncan]

yeah...will be fine for road use but track performance drops off pretty quickly after 4-6 heat cycles, normally 2 weekends for me

I'm not to sure on what model rays they are or what they are made of John tbh. The steering is incredibly light now though. Had the car on track yesterday and the tires are excellent cannot fault them at all.
