Very nice setup, congratulations!

Do you have the set of H&R Springs or the coilovers?

 

NICE!!! Good looking rims you got there. How heavy are these? Oh, I like the painted caliper, nice job.

 

I love those. $?

 

Nice! What kind of setup do you have suspension wise? Also what's the width and offset on those wheels??

Thanks!

 

Those look very nice, where did you get those and how much??

 

got them at The Wheel Supply in walnut. only 208 each. not bad

18x 8.5 35mm offset

3mm front spacer.

i think they are 28 lbs. you have to call the store to double check.

H&R springs only.

tires: 255 rear 225 front

 

Cool irvine! You prolly dealt with Sander right there right? He's a cool guy. They have a pretty good mechanic too!

 

yeah, good bunch of guys.

 

Excellent setup !!! Your car looks awesome!

 

Looks Great. Information on 3mm spacer - Who makes it? Being so small are they really Hub-Centric? I need a 4mm spacer. Thanks.

 

unfortunately, it is a little tricky to have a hub-centric spacer smaller than 8mm. i learned the hard way.

first, your hub sticks out about 8mm. so in order for them to be hub-centric, you have to go beyond that 8mm, before you taper back to the hub size. that is why you mostly see 10mm + spacer for our cars.

my car was an early production c32, from what i have been told, other c32 front hubs are not like mine. no amount of pounding will get a spacer such as H&R on my front hub. rears will fit. my front hub does not tapper at all and sticks out about 25mm+?

so, for my previous wheels (lm5 replicas), i had a bigger hole bored into the front wheels and a hub-centric spacer made for the bigger bored hole. that worked out well, but now those wheels cannot be used without spacers (unless you want some vibration). in retrospect, i don't think i needed to do that since my hub extended so far.

so in my case, a 3mm non-hub-centric is probably fine, since the wheels still sits nicely on the hub.

having said that, there are some wheels (lorinser lm-5) that would either require and hub-centric spacer or a centering ring. this is my assumption since i originally purchased lorinser spacers for my car. they fit over the hub perfectly, but hub-centric wheels will not fit on the spacer! the spacer hub was too big. so i assume that lorinser wheels have center bores that are a little larger than the stock hub. so i think this is the case when you hear about 4mm hub-centric spacers. they are probably made specifically for their respective wheels.

anyone can feel free to correct me if i am wrong, this is only my unprofessional experience.

so, i think you may be ok if you hub extends far enough that your wheels still sit solidly on the hub.

next time i take my wheels off, i will take pictures as an example.

 

VERY NICE!

I take those are the replicas. Where are they made?

 

how much do stock c32 rims weigh if those moven are 28lbs..

 

I like it! Clean look.

 

They look so similar to the Style IV 2-pc. But they are actually one piece wheels, are they?

Are you using S-03? How do you like it?????

 

one piece wheel.

i don't have anything to compare the so3's to. the only other tire i had were the 17 inch pilot sports. comparing a 17 to an 18 would not be appropriate. having said that, i don't have any complaints about the tires or the wheels.

i hate the ride though. way too rough. i may switch the springs back to stock, or maybe just the rear springs back to stock.

Did you change the shocks? The springs alone doesn't give you a rough ride. If you changed your shocks to adjustables, they will make the ride rougher, unless you leave them in the softest setting.

 

Your car looks dope. Do they make those wheels in 19"?
I love the red callipers, what did you paint them with, Do you have to take them off??

-PS oh ya and are you experiencing any rubbing issues??

 

no, only 18's

painted with engine paint. only have to take of the wheels, not the calipers.

no rubbing.
