Hi,

No offense intended to anyone, but I don't like the big rim look for myself. HOWEVER,
I do want to drop my box @2 inches. Has anyone else dropped their box and kept the 15" rims? Any problems with that? If someone has and could post pix I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for the info.

Thanks MacNcheese,

That helps; is that your car? How does the ride compare to stock?

Anyone else with same set-up but rims instead?

Here's mine dropped 2" on 15" Rota Auto X'es.
I think the Goldline springs I have actually ride better than stock. And, from what I have heard, Progress Tech (sold by partshippers.com) ride even better than Goldline with the same amount of drop.


Least that is how it looked a couple of weeks ago before it went in the paint shop.


Here is a thread with a bunch of pics of box'es dropped on 15's:

Nice!!!

That's what I needed to see. that confirms my belief that there's a lot to be said for the smaller rims. I think they are sadly overlooked.

What are you doing with the paint, if I might ask?

I have an Xa lowered on 15'' rims - looks good in my opinon. Not into the whole bling bling 19'' rims

 

I have been uploading pics as the paint progresses, here is the thread for that:

you are not alone.

check this thread:

it's got more of macncheese's sweet rims, some SICK ats cups...and the superfly coolest ever red painted steelies!

 

bBted is on 15s w/ at least a 2 inch drop, and so is/was Mark (bBoxed).

 

I was running 18s on mine, until I got to Virginia. The roads out here are awful, compared to So Cal. So, I got a set of stock 15" steel rims, with 205/55 Kumhos. I'll be swapping the tires onto some Nippon F2 15x6.5 gunmetals, hopefully by next weekend. The car rides MUCH better on 15s, as opposed to the 18s, at least here where I'm at. Wasn't such a problem back in Cali, but the 15s make the ripples, potholes, gaps, spans, and all the other road problems here in Virginia much more tolerable.

I agree that 15s have been overlooked. Let's keep it our little secret, lol!

 

welcome to the darkside SamuraiZenU. im lowered 2" on phone dial hubcaps until my 15" work equips come.

damn frankenscion.. your box looks cool!!! Can't go wrong with the 15s... makin me wanna buy some... and springs!

I have a camo... so looking at your box i can see what it looks like : D

 

Thank you, I can't wait until the paint is done.

I was thinking I needed some showier wheels for Heatwave, but I will probably just leave them now.
