Ethlar's significantly faster CM6

$550/wheel? Whoa..... I think you could get a lot nicer wheel for that money. Not saying those are bad, just I think, way too steep for an 18.

Weds: $380/ea

SSR GTV: $400 and in a +55 even

If you're thinking of a 235 tire you could probably even go to a 9" wheel. RPF1's look awesome in a 9 and the +45 should clear the suspension no problem since the HFPs are a +55. Also, the rpf1s are way cheaper than $550/wheel.


What's your wheel budget?

edit: I don't know what style of wheel you like, just picked some stuff out that was way under 550 in similar size/specs. If you end up with something wide, I can come over and help you roll fenders. Hahaha. Stance!
 
that was 550 for the set of 4, i like the idea of sticking to oem wheels cause then i dont have to worry about road condition as much, or having winter/summer wheel sets. Though with a basement thats less of a issue i guess

im planning on staying at or near stock ride height, if i get koni yellows id drop the front to the lowest perch to kill some or all of the rear rake, but keep the rear where it is
 
I gotcha. I just saw the $545 and a quantity of "1". I didn't read to see if it was 4 wheels or just one.
 
its probably more responsible of me to stay on the stock wheels till tax season, by then ill have bought the house and will have a better idea where those expenses are
 
almost done converting all the lights on the car to hid or led







also just got these, deal popped up on them for better than i could find anywhere else, ill probably change the red leds in the turn signals for ambers at some point too

so now that ive gotten my hands on one of these bad boys, im not so sure its going to fit

 
lol those are enormous. Maybe a row of 3 and a row of 2 on top? Or a row of 4 instead of 5?
 
ill take them apart shortly, but im pretty sure theyre all one unit, inner 2 are high beam, outer 3 are low and theyre all mounted to the same heat sink
 
So heres their mounting angle, roughly, doesnt seem to be too far off from the accords

Oh my!!!

Hack off the 3 low beam ones and squish them in the Fit headlights!
 
That looks like a project!!!
 










high beam emitter


very very very VERY rough mockup with one of my old clouded over lenses and no trimming on the LED shroud
 
totally not what I was expecting. Those are LED correct? Why does it need a heat sink that huge?

edit - and squiggy beat me to it
