$500 for good coilover shells sounds like a pretty good deal, so any use you get out of them before rebuilding them is a bonus IMO.

bought hsd coils for 450 for my skyline and just got my rucas and fucas so now i got fully adjustable camber to! time for moar low and moar camburz

Picked up my summer wheels from G5 recently, 15x7 +38 Kosei K2R.
I can't wait to throw them on, but I haven't decided on a tire yet.
I'm leaning towards the BFG Sport Comp-2 (UHP Summer) or Kumho 4X II (UHP All Season)

Go with the comp-2's. There's no point in going with no-seasons for a summer setup...

Love my new Flooooor mat

:suspicious: not sure if I'd want to wear my shoes inside the car with those things

Picked up my summer wheels, Neuspeed RSE10 in midnight satin blue. 18 x 8.5".
More matte grey than I expected, which I'm happy with.

They look quite different in different lighting, see what I mean below.

Dibs.

^I swear every golf 7R owner run these wheels! I'm looking at you too tastic!

Lol you aren't wrong! They are reasonably priced and go on sale frequently, not too heavy (19.0lbs for 18x8.5), hub centric, good offset for mk7, and takes OEM bolts and caps. I needed winters pronto so these were convenient to get.

Per this thread I just bought this.

As tastic said, Neuspeed wheels are unbelievably well-matched to VWs and Audis and are priced very well for how light and nice they are. I had the RSE12 on my GTI, and brought them over to the R as my winters. The RSE10 specifically, goes very well with the MK7 lines.

I probably would've went with OZ Leggera HLTs if they came in 18 x 8.5" and didn't require hubcentric rings and another set of bolts.

Let me know how you like those NT05's! I've been considering getting a set of 295/35's... They're so cheap!

Picked up some Giovanna Kilis matte black wheels 20x8.5 all around for my G35x. $1000 with the rims and brand new Lexani tires.

Already using it to make parts for the RallyBug:

...Which will eventually become the adapter plate I need to switch to Hydraulic Clutch system I'm working on. Currently sorting the transmission end, will then move on to sorting out the pedal end.

That moment when the border guard literally chastises you for not buying forged wheels. That just happened. :lawl:

When do you think your car is going to resemble a complete car again Jackp0t? I'm really excited to see it this summer. I think its going to be stunning.

Want to sell those 285's for cheap? :badpokerface:

One of the tire was defective :( It was a blessing in disguise since i found out in the flesh that it was to big .lol
In a perfect world where everything goes smoothly i would love to finish it next month for my bday.lol
But the plan ETA is on April to mark the first year of owning the car
