whats the address ?

one of my rpf has curb damage do they repair for it? you know other shops that repair curb damage on the rims?

thanks

 

Addresses are on both their sites-- WheelFlip.com & VR Wheels

But if it's just one wheel, you should try one of those mobile wheel repair people that can come to you. Try A & V Mobile Wheel Repair-- buddy I know got his work vsxx lips repaired by them, they did a good job.

 

...Thanks...

 

Where was this from
I'm in love

 

No problem man!

Ah, homemade by Mark-- he now makes wood veneers too which I will be getting asap haha. Check out his FB page FlossdVIP

 

Quick update! Got the wheels on this morning

A good 16lbs of unsprung weight shed from the previous set of wheels. Butt dyno says there's more hp available now and it feels more alive and agile.

 

You lost 16 pounds on each wheel?

 

16lbs total lol-- that'd be crazy per wheel. Last set was about 18.5lbs and these are about 14.5lbs

 

Oh my bad haha, that is nice

 

Lightweight wheels are awesome. 14.5 per wheel in that size is crazy light. My Mini wheels are 12 lbs at 15", and those look to be 17"? The extra stiffness from the shorter sidewall on the tires probably makes the steering respond a lot better than mine, though.

 

Hakuna matata!


Yea these are 17" x 7.5"-- I can't believe it either haha the magic of Japan's forging. And yea I really like how the car drives right now. Downside to low profile tires is they make the ride a lot more harsh especially with the height I'm at haha.

 

I don't think I'd go past 16s because of my old man back and shoulders. Also the fact that I tend to build a car to drive more than to look at. I like the way my car looks, but I like the view from behind the steering wheel more.

 

I understand haha, I'm still young but it does take a toll on the lower back on bad roads. But I have taken it on a long drive and surprisingly smooth overall with the coilovers at my height-- I will most likely raise the car up eventually when I'm over the "slammed look" because the coilovers rode better than stock with a mild drop.

 

15mm spacers and Project Kics lug nuts
Put the 15mm in the front and threw the 5mm that were there in the rear.

 

Looking good brother!!

Gotta update your signature haha

 

Lol! Beat me to the punch! I was working on it earlier today, just got busy

 

Some decent shots I took today at the park.

 

Wow those are lighter than my TE37's. Good work and damn that thing is low. Im desperately looking for a 16" wheel trade, i need more tire.

 

Yea I was surprised haha the best craigslist find I ever made.

And thanks, haha, yea it's pretty low; not as low as some of the other Fits I know-- it's still high enough to still be an adequate daily driver. Any lower and my under carriage will probably break piece by piece just from my driveway.

Good luck with the wheel search though! I can't believe no one has anything to offer yet for your TE's, they're a great set of wheels.

 

Thanks, i know...everyone is in California...nobody even remotely close to the D.C. area offering anything.
