welcome. get in on the group buy for the 01 tails...only $310

 

Thanks for the postive feedback and suggestions . Sorry to disappoint some of you that suggested dropping the car a bit, but the car is already lowered. (Not low enough, eh?).

I dropped the car with Tanabe GS210s and l-tuned shocks. Front is -1.8, rear is -1.5. There's a 1 inch gap between the tire and the fender, all around. I think picture's persepective is making the gap look wider, beetween the tire and the fender, than there really is.

HRE 545: 18x8.5 at the front and 18x9.5 at the rear.
In the future....I'll be changing the grill and emblems, but not until I put on a body kit.

 

Very nice

Those 18s look kind of small. Maybe its the 2 peice that is why.

I agree with everyone else. Drop it a bit.

 

Thanks!

These HREs are 3 piece. If you think the 18s look small, it's probably because the lip of the wheel is stepped; making the lip look narrower than it really is.

The wider the lip of the wheel is, the bigger the wheel looks. If you see an 18 inch wheel with very wide lips, you may question whether they're 18s or 19s.

 

Doesn't matter IMO....the car is still very hot!

 

Very nice ride and yes those HRE's are nice.

 

By concensus, I've started to get rid of the gold emblems. I started with the front. Next will be the rear.

Nice grill Rodel. Brings back memories. haha

 

Man..i love HRE's.

 

Thanks, Randy! I'll sell it to you for $180. hahaha.

BTW, I'm gonna gonna start putting the stereo components in the car. I'm putting my Alpine V12 amps and sub(s): two 10" Kickers or one 12" Polk Audio .

Rodel

 

I hear you, bro.

After I saw the HREs, I didn't want anything else. (Well, it was between HRE and FIKSE). There is one thing that I wished I got with them, a straight lip, instead of stepped. The stepped lip makes the wheel look small.

 

No more gold

BEFORE


NOW

 

nice change, car is lookin great.. and I think you are right that the angle of the first pics is making it look like it needs more of a drop than it really does

 

car looked better with the gold, i love the contrast of gold and white. otherwise very nice.

just my opinion

Nice car!!!!!

Not to be a n00b, but I see lots of people with "Aristo" badging. Is the "Aristo" the Japanese version of the GS series? (i.e. like the Altezza = IS300?)
