Ethlar's significantly faster CM6

[webby]

Yeah after seeing that,....it looks good.

$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!

 

[ethlar]

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

 

[ethlar]

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

 

[Nix]

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.

 

[ethlar]

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

 

[ethlar]

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

The mod bug is strong

 

[ethlar]

'13 RDX 18s could look pretty good too

 

[Dar-Dar]

Those are nice.

 

[ethlar]

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

 

[webby]

lol those are enormous. Maybe a row of 3 and a row of 2 on top? Or a row of 4 instead of 5?

 

[ethlar]

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

 

[ethlar]

So heres their mounting angle, roughly, doesnt seem to be too far off from the accords





Light porn

 

[Nomar06]

Oh my!!!

Hack off the 3 low beam ones and squish them in the Fit headlights!

 

[Dar-Dar]

That looks like a project!!!

 

[webby]

Interested to see the guts

 

[ethlar]

high beam emitter


very very very VERY rough mockup with one of my old clouded over lenses and no trimming on the LED shroud

 

[squiggy]

Holy heat sinks Batman!

 

[webby]

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
