19s on my hatch

[3rdhatch]

Finally got some pictures of my car and right after I put my new 19's on it. They are Konig Tantrums that are powdercoated black. Pirelli p7000 tires of the 215/35/19 variety and they have yet to rub at all. And the drop is from H&R springs. I think they look pretty sick.:p

[fsugatorbait]

Monster EP, where?;)

[IceD out N CALI]

they're huge, but kinda hard to see

[SBC31]

A little too big for my taste, then again I only got 17" ones.

How's the ride with these??? Gotta be a harsh drive.

[03hatch]

mmm dont look right...i think it will look better when some fender flare

[BlasTech]

:eek:

[sonic imperial]

that's got to be one rough ride, hope you have some smooth roads!

[3rdhatch]

Most of the roads around here are pretty smooth, but I took them on a trip to Daytona Beach and they actually ride better on the inerstate than either set of 17's I had on it. I don't get it either but oh well. The kit should go on it in the coming months. Buddy Club front and rear, with type r side skirts. Car rides a little higher too, I can actually get into my driveway!

I agree...
If you're putting 19's on your car, its NOT for performance.
It's solely for looks...
Which leads me to ask, why would you go w/ an understated color such as black, if you wanted to *floss*?
Might as well have gotta some chrome bling bling.

Just a little info for all the people that dont like them.
I am 18, about to turn 19, years old. I pay for my car and everything else. I also go to school full time. I work 40 hours a week at a performance shop called Next Level performance. I recently got a ticket for racing. I cant afford to get another ticket due to insurance prices. Therefore I sold my two sets of lightweight wheels that I used to have, 17 inch Lensos and 17 Konig heliums. I have no use for lightweight wheels on public roads. When I feel like racing I go to the track or to the autocross. I have a set of slicks and a set of autocross tires. My current best time at the track is a 14.873 at 93.37 MPH. I also like to enter my car into shows from time to time. The show that you may have heard of is called NOPI. I finished first in my class. Therefore you can say all you want to about how I am not into performance or whatever but how many of you can say that you went into the 14's with intake exhaust and tires? Then went to the biggest car show in the US and finished first? Hope that puts all that to rest. Oh yeah, sorry for the long explanation.

[Loudpedal]

I'm assuming you already know to keep an eye out for sidewall bulges on P7000's, especially with that sidewall. Friggin Pirelli's.

[siver-SI]

I would say it might look good if you got larger brakes and rotors. Not my taste right now but that brakes are what I thought looked not so hot. But it is your car not mine.

[whtep19]

I think powdercoated wheels look hot IMO... At least he don't have wheel gap:)

[ADAMnQuickCIVIC]

14.8 with just intake/exhaust/tires, huh? :eek:
tires = slicks??

got video?

:angel:

[ADMstunna]

So if 19's can fit, so can 20's? DAMN when is sombody gonna put spreewells on a Si? that shyt would be off glass. damn. all this spreewell big heavy talk makes me wanna put spreewells on the Evo. damn, that would be gangsta at the track. linin up at the tree and all 4 weels spining. damn, wut the hell am i talkin about.

[3rdhatch]

Chakra 71 was out at the track when I ran 15.1's all night. That was with full interior and 2.2-2.3 60 foot times. Lowered the pressure in the slicks (8 lbs) and stripped out the back (really big time stripped), dropped 60' to a 2.02 and ran 14.8s. Try it, the weight reduction helps a ton.

oh ok, full slicks + weight reduction <~~forgot to mention that.
nah, i wont try it, it's useless when youre 6'6" 330 lbs.
not to mention i like to know what my car runs in street trim.
i don't drive around on slicks with no interior.
only time i ever use slicks is when i cannot accelerate effectively due to high boost/HP...
with 145 hp you shouldnt need slicks...
but whatever floats your boat...

[3rdhatch]

I ran a 15.1-15.3 with full interior and street tires. Aren't you the one that just got the turbo? How is it, I am thinking about getting my buddy to custom-fab me one up too.

nah, no turbo for me......yet.
just posted a link to a turbo ep...

i like it man. how well do those tires grip, pretty good? i got 18's on mine and think they ride pretty good. how much is ur speedo off tho. alot? or not at all. i kinda like the black wheels on a silver car look. well, theres my $0.02

[3rdhatch]

The tires grip pretty well, and the speedo is off by about 2-3 mph. That is a rough guess though cause my friend paced me on the interstate and I was going 82-83 and his speedo read 80. Thanks for the compliments though.

[02NITEHAWKSi EP]

Call a little slow, the Spreewell rims are the ones that spin right? I cannot find the website for these rims. I thought I saw Navigator and I think a Lincols LS with these rims. But I am not sure if it was just my eyes playing tricks. Does anyone know the website? I Yahooed it but could not find anything. :confused:

Thanks
