180SX from auto to drifter.... - Page 11 - Drifting forum

**Mitch** · 18-01-2007, 06:59

Oli- I had wondered that

No matter as they are now sold.

Raff-No idea. I think you can get them at www.biggaywings.com , but I just bought it from Cole on here.

pyroteknikon · 18-01-2007, 08:35

Oh yeah. They're AVS5s.

I don't need spacers. Well, I might...but you do. Yeah.
I'll stop posting, now.

**Mitch** · 18-01-2007, 10:14

I've got some but need to decide on wheels before changing spacers every five minutes. I prefer to have my car on the road over having it look right, which is why it always is

Sea Squirrel · 18-01-2007, 12:49

Mitch, first time I've read through the whole thing, don't know why. Really nice to see how the cars come on since you got it, and since seeing it at Bovvy. I think it's a stunner with the kit etc, but I'm a BGW fan.

On the wheels bit, if you're going bigger what about the Do-Lucks? They're not a cheap wheel but they do look bloody stunning.

**Mitch** · 18-01-2007, 13:42

Thanks very much.

Can't afford super expensive wheels unfortunately, or the Do Lucks would be a nice option.

I'm going to go with the Rotas I have and see if I can find a supplier of 18" tyres at a reasonable rate, and then get a couple or four more wheels.

**Jord** · 18-01-2007, 20:07

Mitch, what wheels you got to swap/ex? I've got some Enkei RP-01s in 18x9 ET22 coming on Monday but think I'll move them on for 17s if your interested.

Projects looking good by the way, except GTSTF etc

**Paz** · 18-01-2007, 20:58

Cool as.. Mitchumus! 18's rear, 17's front

**Mitch** · 19-01-2007, 06:29

Just my silver 17s now, Jord. I've removed the tyres from the bronze Model 5's and will be packing them up later. I tried the Rotas on the car last night but I've only got a pair of 255's at the moment so it looks a bit balloony. I won't be staying with black if I keep them because they look too small, so maybe white or silver.

Paz-I might just have to do that, as I need to start messing with spacers and lock clearance with the Rotas. An alternative would be to get 2 ET20 ones for the front and use the ET30s for the rear.

Starting to think I might have fucked it by putting the kit on it

**Jord** · 19-01-2007, 08:35

Are the Model 5's sold?

**Mitch** · 19-01-2007, 08:56

Pretty much, as long as shipping to EU isn't too much.

Why are people asking now for these rims?

**Mitch** · 19-01-2007, 08:58

Oh, and if anyone knows of some reasonably priced rims that will suit this car, please let me know

**Jord** · 19-01-2007, 08:59

Are they Paul's old Model 5s? They looked awesome on my car

.

**Mitch** · 19-01-2007, 10:45

They are indeed.

dustytangerine · 19-01-2007, 23:03

Lets go for the polished rims and whatever you choose centres, something trick, like an orange metallic centre, yum yum!
Tell me, as i'm a newbie, if i change my front wheels off the vento to the back, will i have rear wheel drive, hope so, i wanna drift, moving house to house isn't goin to count i'm sure. And yes, the verve....

**Mitch** · 19-01-2007, 23:30

No orange metallic

Unless you paint flames and shark's teeth on the Vento

Dori Mat · 20-01-2007, 00:07

need to see a better side on pic mitch

gotta admit i'm not convinced i really thought the rota's would suit your car

personally i think your car looked best on the white advans

maybe painting the rota's white or buying white ones is the answer

**Mitch** · 20-01-2007, 08:02

I thought Rotas would look the tits too, after seeing the ones on Matt Welby's 180.

Not sure where to go from here. I think I need to get back to my GTSTF roots and lose the BGW, then get some decent dished 17's (If anyone's got any for sale or swap, give me a shout please), and stop pissing about with it.

Then just need to do get out and play some more, which is what it's for after all.......

Also lose the stickers, you can S1 it up then.

Sea Squirrel · 20-01-2007, 13:38

I think it looks great with the spoiler mate, but I'm a BGW fan.

Bruno: I've got some wheels with a good bit of dish, they're s14 fitment though. We've got someone interested in the rolling chassis at the moment but depending on that should be able to let the wheels go very cheaply.

Ben

**Mitch** · 20-01-2007, 15:39

What size are the wheels, Ben? Could you fire me some pics and a price please?

Danny- I know but you have to give these things a go. Also, I'm not going to take the stickers off just so I can street it up.
