Paint Schemes/Rim Chops

20's and 1.7" drop. And mud, will have to put down gravel before putting new rims and tires on Pretty damn sweet though, huh? So sweet I may have to skip the two tone - this is just the right mix of high class and sharp teeth that want to bite you. Anything more would lose the subtle, super-Lexus look.

Called Menzari today - the receptionist said the rims weigh "almost 40 lbs." !!!! That's waaaaay too much. She didn't seem to have it together and was surprised I would be asking about weight. I almost think she gave me the number for a bigger rim (it doesn't look like it could be that heavy) but I don't know what to do to find out.

I'm betting those weigh between 20-25 lbs each. She's probably giving you a packed weight or some other figure that's useless to us.

that first pic jack is SEX amazing i even love them and im picky as a 4 yr old pickin there nose

Are they steel or alloy? That makes a big difference. If steel, it would not suprise me that they weight 40lbs. My last ones weighed 52lbs. My new ones are 20" alloy and they still weigh 36 lbs w/o tires. Stock 16" rims with tires wieghed approx 45lbs.

I've emailed a dealer. I don't know if they're steel or alloy.

How much do the 20" rubber band tires weigh?

i like those rims

Man, you guys are making it tough not to pull the trigger on these. I feel like this is the right look, and while I'm shocked at the weight, "nearly 40 lbs." is probably no more than 2-3 lbs more than ewolfe0050's new rims, which he seems to be perfectly satisfied with. Am I making more out of the weight than I should be?

yea you are, you have a 4000lb car man, whats 40 lbs a wheel? get em so we can all envy you

In total weight, it's only like 20-40 lbs more for the car to carry, but that unsprung weight is a bitch. It's not luxury if the car handles like a dog.

I really love the way those rims look though, I think they're a work of art. Just like the Riv's body, and they work so well together. Hard to resist!

It would mean putting off buying any welding equipment for a while, but I'm sure you understand!

The set I have come in chrome too. MSR093. Check them out. Weight of wheels had a huge impact on my car. See if you can't get someone you know to set you up with a heavy rim that you can put on your car (dosen't matter about style) then put on the stock ones so you can feel the difference.

send me what u need welded and i will see what i can do. is it aluminum or steel

ewolfe0050 - everyone I know drives trucks :/

palermocorey90 - It's going to be awhile before I get onto the STB again.

call me Corey please or C tizzle

If you were around Indy I would put the old ones on my car again then swap with the lighter ones to demonstrate for you... If you are ever in the area let me know.

Corey - I'll do my best but remembering things isn't my strong point.

ewolfe0050 - It seems I need to do a tour of the tri-state area - OH to check out Aarons car, IN to check out yours, and Ill to check out 97Rivman's.

Maybe we should pick a central location and have a meet-up?

tri state wanna come visit me, i can show u good ole utica LMAO

Why don't you plan on going to the ROA meeting... It looks like a lot of people are going to be going there. I hope to meet up with several late Rivs on the way. There's a few that will be driving thru Indy.

Maybe - Indianopolis is only half as far though.

Hope to have my rims long before June 23rd anyway

i know my photo shop skills arn't quite as good as urs there jack, but i think these came out pretty well

ORIGINAL

The only way to drop it that low, Corey, is to bag it. Looks really tight though!

Really nice (hoping someday find projectors headlights)

you need to retro fit them i keep asking my brother to give me his stock lights so i can do it

if it is sucessfull let me know
