intresting (i think) pics of my car (56k WARNING)

[nmwisima]

I bought my new rims for tarck use.
fOR street I use 7x15 with 205/50 tires ,

these are 6x14, used of course (two of them need some repair ),
not sure about the brand (Tiger USA, you can see on a pic),
got em for 120 euros

What tires you think i should fit on them???

[Ivan141]

Will those fit without spacers? They are not very wide, but look like FWD offset wheels to me (for suzuki swift originally probably).
Tires: 195/55r14 semislicks should be good if you want to go grip. Any old tire will suffice if you intend to go sideways.
Me and my bro NoHachi use Advan A032R semislicks soft compound for track use, those give pretty impressive grip and can handle slightly wet conditions. They are hella expensive to buy new though, but you can often find used ones at decent prices. I know for sure that Toyo has a semislick in 195/14 I think...Toyo Trampio..

Good streettires are the Yokohama's Mux uses (ask him what type), Toyo T1S work well for wet tracks and are cheap. Falken Ziex seem to be okay as well for budget sports tires.

For sure I don't want grip. Do it what????

Offset mark inside the rim says ET+20, I measured it +11, don't know what's true.

I 'll fit used tires, good condition front and ...not so good in the back.

Hey Greek boys, what do you think about my rims???????????

[Dorito86]

They suit your purpose (provided you won't need spacers, that is) and the're in good condition, especially considering the money youy paid. So, just make shure they're fitted correctly and there's no rubbing with the front struts and enjoy dude!

Nice rims Achileas. They look like TSW to me. They also write Made in RSA (South Africa), where most TSW wheels are made in.
If measurements are OK for the hachi, prepare yourself for long, smooth drifts...

[nmwisima]

oh yeah, RSA it is, no USA.
But they say "Tiger" dont think they are TSW.
The wheels I 'm using now are tsw

DAMN!
stupid me
I just made a search on GOOGLE, and find out that
TSW, means Tiger Sport Wheels.

So yes Euri, u are right!!

Well, 3 days ago I put the new rims on my car.

Preatty soon, I realized that the 14'' wheels have better grip than my 15''.

That is cause with the 15'' I used 205/50 tires, brand new yokohama front (excelent grip) and 3 years old Eagle F1 at the back. With this set up the car was perfect (for road use), really driving pleasure.
The fucking 14'' rims are equiped with old Michelin 185/55 tires (paid just 50 euro for 4 tires) are still soft and offer ( ) good grip. damn, now the car lost front grip and got back grip..

I also wanted to sare with you my new strut bar, hand made, from steel not aluminum ( ) and ugly. Dont try it at home...

[alimonos]

Hey Achilleas nice work in there with the alloy hoses man
Give us some pics with the new rims on m8!!!
As far as the strut bar ... "strange-shaped" i would say...

[Ivan141]

The welding and finish of your strut bar looks pretty decent,..the adjustment is also nice, but isnt the bent shape much more prone to flex then a straight bar? I can see you tried to go around the pipes a bit, but when you take a look at commercially available strut bars you can see there is actually room to go up a bit and cross over with a straight bar..
