damn everybody has those now, why did you get a bigger offset in the rear? you cant rotate your tires now.

whaut up bevo,

these are a custom offset like my bronze ce28 wheels i used to have.

the japanese tuners are running staggered offset wheels like 18x9.5 front and 18x8.5 rear for example. my friend in japan said they do this so that they get more of a wider stance up front for more planting of the front during high speed turning.

look at all the evos in the HYPER REV and look at their wheel choices of size and offset.

i chose to stick with the same size, but widen out the front a little, like the cyber evo. (the cyber evo is running 17x9.5 front 17mm and 17x9.5 rear 35mm. they are also using spacers for both front and rear to make the wheels flush with the wide fenders)

that is why i chose this size and offset for my wheels.

i ordered these approximately 3-4 months ago and am receiving a set of black le28s soon in the same size/offset as my gold ones shown here.

hope this helps,
-john

Nice wheels! I wish I could get that special offset, but I couldn't wait.



Bevo, I don't think there's an official pricing for those wheels yet, but they should be about the same as current LE's lines.

just wanted to let everybody know who were interested in my gold le28s that i am no longer selling these as of now.

i cancelled my order on my g-black le28s because they didn't carry the offset needed for the rear wheels for my evo.

the only application all around available for the evo in the g-black le28s will be the standard 18x8.5 +30 offset.

the tires that i will be running for the gold 18x9.5 le28s will be either falken st-115 or hankook ventis k140.

when the new falken azenis rt-615 come out, that will be my tire of choice.

maybe tomorrow if weather permits up north here. it is supposed to be raining this week up north.


nooooooooooooooo I wanted to see the black le28s, can you buy them anyways so we can get a pic?

i'm still contemplating if i should get a spare set of wheels since the endless (or alcon) 6/4 pot brake system can only take 18" wheels.

Dont you think you should add some power to the car before you add too much brake.

Dont you think you should add some power to the car before you add too much brake.

that is a question being sparked up throughtout the tuning community, but i am sponsored with endless/zeal and am getting a good deal on a set of endless 6/4 pot brake system. alcon is also sponsoring me if i wanted too.

my engine work is through a sponsorship with the WORKS program. i don't want too much power like you since this is my DAILY driver. and i need a reliable street car.

just about everything added on my car was through a sponsorship. i am not a rich guy, i just modify for fun and have a few connections here and there since i've been modifying cars for 16 years now.

My car is a daily driver and runs better than stock so no excuse there. Why is zeal sponsoring a car that is very midly modified? A discount is not a sponsorship. Not to bust your chops because you seem like a good guy but the word sponsorship is used too loosely around here. I get free work for my car and I still dont consider myself sponsored. Most sponsorships include paid entry fees into events whether its show or go and free goods with the understanding the company is going to get coverage on the track or show floor. Im not try to be an ass just dont want people to think every discount is a sponsorship because it really kills the true meaning.

first of all, i'm glad you have a reliable modified engine evo.

i wish i can have a beast of an engine like yours.

and to the subject of sponsorships:

there are 2 types of sponsorships: FULL or PARTIAL.

it is very rare to have a FULL sponsorship from any JAPANESE aftermarket tuner. i am sponsored PARTIALLY for most and FULL for a few.

i am with a car show group called TEAM SPEED ADDICTS. you can check out some of the cars on www.speedaddicts.com

many of the cars are highly modified and some are not so highly modified. a prime such example is les wong's endless/zeal rx-7 which has gotten an Import Racer model car modeled after it. another prime example is my friend's car Brian Wong's 350z from GARAGE LIFE. both these guys are prime example of SPONSORED rides, but they are mostly PARTIALLY sponsored.

when i receive the ENDLESS brake set-up, i'm supposed to be getting a full decal scheme from endless/zeal such as the COLT EVO shown below.

http://www.endlessusa.com/gallery/images/7/pic2.jpg

no chops busted or feelings hurt bro. if you want to call it a discount, then call it a discount. my apologies if i made you a little upset for using the word sponsored so freely.

here are a few pix of my friend's les' rx-7 and brian's 350z (PARTIALLY) sponsored ENDLESS/ZEAL rides.
