Title: So I Need New Rims, What Would You Do?
Post by: Rylinkus on September 04, 2004, 08:48:00 AM
Ehh, I slid my car off the road left foot braking chasing a hot girl on public roads.
I broke one GFX piece and destroyed 2 tires and rims.

So guys, NEVER do dumbass things on public roads. AND, ideas on rims.? 5 X 4.5" bolt pattern?  How bout tires? Ive been hearing good things about Yoko AVS100s, Kuhmo Ecstas and a few others. Anyone have some thoughts that won't break the bank.

Maybe Ill post pics of what a 93 PGT looks like on snow tires later.  dry.gif

They are supposed to be pretty durable. I hope so.

I dont use my ebrake. You can accomplish just as much with left foot braking. It helps stop understeer. By braking some you cause weight shift to the front. This helps the ass loosen up and in theory allows you to turn properly when you otherwise couldn't.

BTW: So no one thinks TOO bad of me. This girl is an ex GF and simply amazing in almost everyway a girl can be. Letting her go was a FAR bigger mistake then wreckless driving.

Try tires.com. Under their Discount Tires Direct, just put in your car's Year, Make, and Model, and it'll give you stock size tires and rims, and plus sizes. That site has helped me a lot for finding rims that'll fit 14" tires and match the stock rims' bolt pattern and offset (upgrading a '93 Metro hatchback from it's puny 12" stock tires and rims...
