Well anyone who has followed any of my posts know i've been through shit with these wheels and finally after getting them, to find out they didnt fit... i ended up changin my hubs/rotors/pads/calipers/brake lines and got the new rims on...
Konig Sideways 18x7.5
Kumo Spectra 235/35
EBC Rotors
EBC Pads
Goodridge Lines
Stock non captive hubs
Stock Oreilly refurbished calipers
Ford Red Engine paint from 1998!
Here is one nice shot and the rest will be listed as links. Excuse some of the clarity because it was taken with my phone but they are large shots.

Very, very nice. You make wearing 18s look so easy! I too just finished a solid month of wheel shopping before settling on some konigs. Took a good long look at these, but didn't think they'd go well on a silver car. They look perfect on a black car though. The whole setup looks great. What's that stuff in the mr2 vent on the profile shot? looks white-ish purple on my screen.

Lookin great man. Aren't you glad you did the swap now? I know it was a PITA, everyone runs into some minor issues with a big project like that, but isn't it neat now?
Congrats bro, it's really lookin schweet.
How much them monsters weigh?>

^^ yeah i have the brakes but dont want to replace them now and put in the new p valve....
Redz...it definetly was an adventure and it was worth doing but if i knew i needed new calipers i could of just invested more and went with big brakes. not sure how much they weigh though. less than my last konig's im sure. cool.gif
yeah i know. its slow as dirt. and its heavier than cement. even if i do a tranny swap and turbo it's still going to be slow.
its still on the agenda but not top priority.
