Wheels and Lowering

[Elantra87]

since my car has no body kit and no rice on it, i want to get something better than just some 17's. I like these Drag wheels in red. Is 15 or 16" better for the Elantra? iam thinking about 15's because they are really light weight.
after that i want to get a pretty good drop on my car any reccomendations? anybody with springs for sale?

Here is my car now...

16's in black. with a 205/50 tire

that red will look aweful on your burgundy car. 15" wheels are too small for me on these cars for aftermarket after you put the right size tires on, and they'll still look good when you lower it.

Take another look at his signature.

[Tommy]

whoops. thats what i get for disabling sigs

scratch that, WHITE car...

Still, red+white looks like total rice a roni, and you said you were trying to avoid that

Hahah. Just busting your chops. ;)

I do agree, red and white would not look good. If you're going for a KDM look, I recommend a dark bronze.

As for springs and drop, just get h&r everyone seems to love them, unless you're looking for a super uber drastic drop then theres the springtechs.

[Tommy]

yea, that bronze/gold doesnt look too bad on those white cars, i like it better than black, and definatly more than red.

not really a fan of those wheeels in general though, see them on too many mid-90's bondo colored civics.

what about the DR-24' or the DR-21's?

[KeWLKaT]

blah, bronze is played out ;)

[SuperGLS]

Please no red wheels on a white car. Please.

[Deviant]

Please no red wheels on a white car. Please.

They look great on those bondo Civics mentioned earlier though!

wow not to get off topic but that bodykit on the bobaedreams pic is sick and so are those rims. what bodykit is that?

[slyderdai]

It's a tiburon front bumper Not sure about the rest. What's with all the people lately not recognizing that front Bumper.

[r3b3lth3ory]

is it just me or does it say nismo above the right headlight?

[KeWLKaT]

^^^ It does.

Koreans are like that.

:D:D:D:D

I have to agree with everyone above on the whole red idea. Not good.

As for a drop, look through the suspension sticky and see which looks best to you.

[CornbreadXD]

no red, i still like bronze even if felix says its played out

I plan on getting my current rims bronze powder coated. It can look right with the right colors. And on white, i dont think so, just doesn't seem to work well with light colors.

cool but i have a white car lol

yeah also bronze is a nice color. iam thinking of getting some Drag bronze 16" and a drop....what is the most thin sidewall size for 16's? how about 205/50's?

[steev-o]

red.... boy you got some interesting taste... white and red huh? Why dont you paint blue stripes on your hood and have an all out patriotic elantra haha.


seriously.... go with the bronze. thats hot for sure!

yea, missed the color somehow.

205/50 is a good size tire, and its near perfect replacement for the stock size, so your speedo will be fine.

those wheels dont look that hot in bronze though, better than red, but some of the others would look a lot better on an elantra. The small spokes will make them look smaller, especially in a color thats going to stick out like bronze or red.

good luck finding konig wheels in 16's right now. they stopped manufacturing them for the year. and "most" places just order from konig and have them sent out, not from a warehouse stock. You are going to have to find a place that Does keep a stock and can get them for you.

I called i think 5 or 6 places trying to get 3-4 diff types of konig's and they all told me the same story, all konig 16s are out of stock direct through konig, with NO SET shipping date. i found it hard to belive, but thats what iw as told again and again.

it worked out for me, i love my enkei's now, hopefully you can find what you are looking for.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

16x7 Konig Holes with 225/45/16 Hankook RS-2's. . . I know a guy that has them. . .

[Silentwolf]

Not gonna use them on the Elantra anymore??

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Not gonna use them on the swift next year.

[soullesselantra]

dont be this guy...

[bdiggy]

^^Yikes!

[Elantra87]

red.... boy you got some interesting taste... white and red huh? Why dont you paint blue stripes on your hood and have an all out patriotic elantra haha.


seriously.... go with the bronze. thats hot for sure!


yeah lol, i was thinking red because i saw this delsol it was white, with the same wheels lowered , carbon fiber hood, HID's and yellow fogs i really liked the look of it. and it wasnt rice either

dont be this guy...

oh wow he def! needs a drop lol

[BobMs_wht2k2]

It's not the plethora of altitude that makes it look rediculous. . . that's the point we're trying to make.

[Tommy]

It's not the plethora of altitude that makes it look rediculous. . . that's the point we're trying to make.

exactly. they're ugly wheels that dont match the car at all.

but there's a lot of that on this forum, so knock yourself out.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Woohoo!! Someone understood what I typed. . . I actually considered retyping it. . . but said screw it. Let's see how many go to dictionary.com.

[Pete03GLS]

i didnt know what plethora meant, but when i read it with the rest of the sentence, i figured it out. :D

[indkezra]

have you considered white rims? I know everyone has mixed opinions on them but i think they look good. and wow pete you finally have YOUR elantra in your sig:D looks phat though i like the new look man

Hot like fire! Sickness! But why-o-why is there a Nissan Motorsport sticker on the hood?:confused: Sorry to get OT!

[Silentwolf]

I still think White or Black with a silver lip would look better.

[Tommy]

Bob, you and I travel on similar wave lengths. Hardly a post that I dont get and agree with what you're aiming for.
