He's just butthirt that another 142 didn't go to a purist.
Koolaid will be the last of the 140s.

Honestly on those enkeis on my car I got from nick they have 215 sides and its kinda stupid. It overpowers the steering I'm just waiting for them to wear out to get 195s. Those cars are narrow and the weight is low,and they are pretty light . They don't need much "grip"

Not at all.

I have some Oscam meshes with gold centers polished lips that would look great. Located in Chapel Hill. They're 14s though.

Trim the rear dust shields, grind a bit off the top of the rear caliper and gogogo on 14" rimpz

 

[Sine Qua Non]

Sell it to me. Problem solved.

I disagree, 14's don't belong on a 140, they're an economy thing brought to you by the 240's.

Well, peewee mentioned 17" donkers, how do you like your poison served 2 up or 1 down.

On 8" wide rims?

 

[AndrewNance]

It'll get 16s or 17s. We'll see what happens. And no it will not get stretched tires . 205s at a minimum but probably 215 if I end up with 8" wheels.

Marco has Polaris on his. On a 2" drop I think. Looked good in person. I'm running 1 1/2" drop anymore would be an aggressive angle on the steering .

Personally after seeing custom 15" steelies on widened barrels In person i wish I would have take n that route.

 

[AndrewNance]

That's my thinking too. Polaris look good on them and some redrilled style 5s would have the exact same specs.

You already blew out the quarters dropping those rimpz on there, what's left to do to it?

dont look at me, im cleaning up my b20-f with carbs to bolt onto that m41, then redoing the interior in 164 style upholstery and calling it a day

 

[AndrewNance]

How about some new bushings, wheels, and we just leave it alone?
