THey are going to rub like hell in the back because they do now with the +50 offset on my current wheels and the new ones are +40. I noticed the other day that it must have caught the fender lip on my tire and it pull about a 2" section outwards! I'm just going to cut the lip off with my rotary tool and paint the bare edge.

Well my track 16's did the same thing and I ghetto fender rolled it (warmed the paint, rubber hose slit in half and put over the edge and then used pliers). Watch out with the sharp lip, may slice the tire .

I hate to do it but I think that I am going to put my Toyos on these rims because they are 225/40 and my Dunlops are 235/40. When I get the extra money I will buy two 225/40 dunlops and stagger my tires with the smaller in the rear. I just don't know what else to do if they rub now and the new wheels are 10mm closer to the fender?

Hey Lincoln, I might have a buyer for your RX8 wheels, if interested. Remind me tomorrow.

Spotted two Speed3's today. Well, I guess it was just one cuz I saw Travis's Speed at CS when I was talking to Derrick. Doesnt count. :lol:
Comming back home on 205, I spotted a Silver Speed3 getting on from Airport way. Was debadged, and had a real nice set of Gold rims that just set off the paint job.


Whoever you where, you have great taste in color combo's.

Saw a Metro gray Speed3 the other day while I was at the Moto Pizza on 82nd they were coming out of the skate park across the street from me.

I saw a tinted black mica speed3 with glossy black mesh wheels yesterday about 6:45pm. The guy was at the corner of Broadway and Grand talking on his cell phone. I drove right in front of him and nearly came to a complete stop in front of him while I was rolling down my window looking right into his face and he did not even acknowledge me!!! He looked like a tool anyways but he had a nice car!

Hmm, I wonder if that's the same guy who ignored me last week on SE Powell. Some people are in their own world and/or it's just a car to them. I've always been the type to try and tell someone "nice car". Only gas station attendants notice my MS6. Portland sucks.

I wonder if the Speed6 was one of the sales guys at Beaverton Nissan. If it is, it's actually his second MS6, as he flipped his first one on Skyline.

i started commuting from hillsboro to salem and a few times I have seen a black hatch with black rims and chrome lip and yellow fogs on I5

also saw a darker blue (cosmic?) sedan in tanasbourne. it definitely had an intercooler. it didnt sound turboed (driving slow i guess) and it had stock exhaust. I don't know if it is techincally required to have larger exhaust with turbo but it seems to make sense. So I dont know what to make of that car.

Saw a white sedan with black wheels, red lip, this morning on cascade pkwy by IKEA. Nice clean car.
Saw a CB MS3 twice in the same area last week.

There are 2 cosmic blue speed3's within blocks of my house.
They are always just sitting in the street! What a waste!

 

[prmspen]

Today I saw a white Speed 3 parked at the corner of SW Terwilliger and Taylor's Ferry. I hadn't seen one for ages, and now I see two in three days.

 

[SPACE WRANGLER]

last week saw a black speed 3 sport pack with a blue "x" sticker on back window going up McVey\Stafford. Caught it at the round about on Rosemont\Stafford . He went Rosemont and I kept on Stafford .
