Waited for some time to do this mod as I had to wait for my own CNC machine to do the work. Lettering is regular graphics vinyl


Close up

 

im not sure i understand what is going on here.. the lettering on the tire or actual wheels?

 

Wheel discs on his wheels

Like in the formula1 ??



or just like OEM :P but then composite...








Or am i totally wrong?

 

For taking the otherwise stock Fit in the photo to Bonneville for Speed Week! LOL some better pics with close-ups please so we can see what you are talking about....

 

The lettering is applied to the disc over the diameter of (tire rubber) Where it might be if the tires had lettering.
The disc is attached to the 08 sport rim using 5 points every 72 degrees of rotation.
The tire is the standard factory 195/55 on the sport 5 spoke split rim.The disc itself measures 21 inches in diameter.
That leaves only one inch of road clearance, which can be very testy down here in Florida with our endless supply of extra tall lane reflectors

 

Can you please post a decent picture? we can't see the actual disc that well..

 

Close up on original post!

 

what is the purpose of this?

 

Bonneville speed week?

I think that the discs are a little bit worse ( good english? ), because you will not get any brakecooling, so the brakes get overheated?

 

This just remind of the black Nascar steelies.
Not a bad mod but not good either.

 

Cosmetic, much like me choosing Blaze orange over another color.

 

Thankfully there is airflow through the disc! so no overheating.

 

Okey! Than it's allright

edit:

Airflow through the disc

 

So um.... did you lose a bet?

 

I imagine you would get more interest if you called them "curb rash eliminators" and market them to guys with 5K worth of wheels they don't want getting effed up on the way to shows. I see those getting the hell beat out of them on the scarred roads of WV though....

 

it seams as if the tire would get pinched between the disc and the road surface during cornering as im sure the disc doesn't move up or out when doing so. i like the concept but would have made them a bit smaller and if your going for fuel economy, just lower the car and you'll get more out of lowering than you ever will with the discs.
also what are they made out of?

 

wtf? Those are just stupid.

 

+1 This is a terible idea no point to it and looks retarded

 

I am totally lost as to what this item is for. Do they improve aerodynamics or something? I gotta agree with others and say that they are not my cup of tea. But then again, I don't race.

 

that is weird
