Josho Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Swapped the 13s over yesterday for a set of 15x7 Superlites wrapped in some grippy Potenza GIIIs. Only thing bad I can say about the combo at the moment is the weight of the wheels. Still love them, handling has improved. :) Quote
Clown Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 looks neat love it. Want some ssr mesh rims (not sure on which ones yet) under the rolla but the superlites are really tempting aswell! Quote
Xany Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 you'll be happy with the GIII's too.....i found them very grippy tyres...they don't wear out fast either.....the ones i had on my old rims are still going strong on another KE70 Quote
Starlet82 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Wow! nice, any old pics to compare it to the new ones? Quote
Josho Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Hahah yeah, thats the first thing I thought when I stepped back after putting them on. "... needs to be lower." Xany - Its good to know they wear alright then, I've heard only good things about them. Hoping to get loads of street use and a few of track days out of them. I'd still love to get an set of SSR's on it but I'll return to pouring money into other areas of the car. Still might be repainting the centers charcoal/black... not sure. Thanks for the comments. :) Edit - and old picture! Edited July 13, 2005 by Josho Quote
Josho Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Posted July 13, 2005 Better picture of them. Sad to part with them. I'll have to buy another KE70 to stick them on. :) Quote
Teddy Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 its just like my ke70, without the cancer ! Love the new wheels :) Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 hahaha, i want a handwritten "type-ahh" badge for my car too! :) Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 The superlites - are they the same rim as made by the brand PERFORMANCE???? They look similar? Quote
Josho Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Posted July 14, 2005 Yep the Superlites are made by the Performance wheels bunch. Paint on them is crappy quality. I swear that "Type ahhh" badge helped shave 3 seconds off my laps... Quote
Clown Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 if you don't mind me asking what sorta $$$ did you pay for the rims and new or second hand? Quote
Josho Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Posted July 14, 2005 Not a problem dude, rims were new. $528 for the set it cost me. Quote
NickZ Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Was that price with tires? You need to come and visit to collect your rollaclub sticker Quote
rjenman Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 p.s 15x6.5 / 15x7 is about optimum for a KE70, I noticed the difference going from 13's to 14's handling wise - all that sidewall flex. My next set will be 15x6.5 :) Yeah looks tough mate good choice :n: Slightly off topic, does anyone have an opinion on the idea of putting flares on a KE70/AE71 and in turn putting extra wide wheels on, wide enough to otherwise extend further than the normal edge of the body? I reckon it would look tough as.... Quote
