mods on Accord CF4

[fobs]

oh,... i saw that u said 'forged rims',... i thot ciplak lohhhhhh

any pic of the rims? or where i can view? url?


bro faisal,... care to intro ur dc5 rims? and pic????? my buddy might be interested,... he's still desperately looking for volk racing or advan rg rims,...

 

[amdfaisal]

DC5 rims are quite cheap nowadays... can get below RM1.5k... mine look like http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f35/amdfaisal/Honda%20Accord/24-07-06_0841.jpg

picture quality is so - so... phone camera only VGA

ermm... sorry bout the forged word hehe... it's actually forge meaning to form by heating and hammering; beat into shape rather than to imitate

www.kazutogarage.com is the url if not mistaken. tried to go there but there seemed to be a prob la.. or maybe the site is blocked from here like wikipedia (i think)

 

[fobs]

ur dc5 rims are still with u or u sold already?
what diameter ah??? what offset???

 

[amdfaisal]

i'm still using them and not planning to sell...

the dimensions are 17 x 7 5 holes PCD 114.3 +60

 

[jester]

jester... i beg to differ with your statement saying that ur +48 rims are the nicest looking rims for CF4... i think mine are chunner har har har

fobs... those NSX rims are ori ones la not ciplak... i think there are no taiwan rims with +55 in mesia... anyway why only 160 170... you can go all the way to 185 what... still smooth and you don't really notice the speed. that's why my wife like it when i cruise at 180 with my lowly SOHC VTEC. but with my sus setup... i need to go significantly slow on some stretches of hiways

by the way... talking about NSX rims... the phase racing CL1 uses NSX front brakes... demn cool with the NSX word carved onto the brake caliper...

oh ya! forgot la

yours is dc5 rim of course la chun. or was it ep3 rims? 5 lobang mah!

 

[jester]

went for a stroll in ipoh roads today,... hit 160, 170 on the highway, very smooth compared to my sm4 local version.

my suspension is stock, using +38 also no hit any fenders,...
5k for the ciplak nsx rims ah??? might as well pay 2k for ciplak taiwan rims brand new,... eh,... i was in kazuto two wks ago,... that fat bro tauke didnt recomend those rims lehhhh,... maybe i told him we were from penang, he know penang people will scold him if he wants to sell ciplak rims for 5k,... hehheeeehhh

jester's rims what type??? still there ah? half year already, y no one take???

fobs, i'm not sure the rims are still there. last saw them 2 months ago. it's enkei japan. it looks like this http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2263057

[fobs]

bulet,

what is the size of your advan RG? i've got a set of advan RG too... white 17X8.5 +50... i sent them to a shop in sunway two weeks ago to get them refurbished.

this morning went there to get them installed... demn... my 205/45/17 wouldn't fit so the guy told me to get a set of 215/45/17... okay that was fine. got 215/45/17 mounted on one rim and we tested with my car... demn... that rim just wouldn't fit correctly... there were about 2cm (or less) of rim + tyre protruding from the fender... i couldn't accept that

so me... back to square one with my DC5 rims and I left my advan RG in his shop for him to sell. I ordered rays united arrows WR (http://rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi2/english/getWheelItem.cgi?maker=UA&model=010_WR) 17X7 +52 and they should arrive in one month's time.

i was too obsessed with advan RG and it's offset that i overlooked the distance between the hub and the lip extremities (frontspace???)

these are my calculations for these 'distances'
my advan RG it should be 8.5 - 6.25 = 2.25 inches = 5.625cm
DC5 rims: 7 - 5.9 = 1.1 inches = 2.75cm
united arrows: 7 - 5.58 = 1.42 inches = 3.55cm
stock euro r rims: 6.5 - 5.45 = 1.05 inches = 2.625cm
stock accord CF4 rims: 6 - 5.75 = 0.8 inch = 2cm

i guess your advan Rg must be 17x7.5 + 48. there should be 1.83 inches (4.575cm) between the hub and the lip.

there is only a difference of 0.8 cm between the united arrows and my DC5 rims... i think united arrows should fit nicely to my car.

on a different note, united arrows are casted rims so not as good as those forged volks... only RM1.2k in jap... but here i have to pay nearly RM5k... demn

ooops,... found ur post,... i'll take a while and a piece of paper to sketch,... then look at my car/rims,... to digest.

hehe
