I am about to pick up a set of Evo 9 rims for $300 ;)

Will I have problems with the offset in my 1g? The guy sellimg them told me they would fit, but another DSMer in the area said I was going to have problems with the offset and that I will most likely need spacers... Anyone here know for sure before I pick them up?

They are sex :p they look like this, but in bronze.

Burned black with a special sun fade :p Hahaha

I will be getting a fair amount of money by the end of this week and I was planning on using the money for head work, such as cams, springs, retainers, head gasket, head studs, and timing belt. But I decided to postpone that and give the car a fresh coat of paint. I'd like to paint it black, but it's not decided yet...

Thats a good move to get some cosmetic work..... My first 1ga had some special fade on the quarter panel, just like yours....lol .. But my car was red...So on that quarter it looked kinda pink....haha.


Post some pics once the wheels are on...!!!:)

Evo hasn't been parted yet, I am waiting on my friend to deliver the rims to me. I wanted the seats too but he wanted $1000 :eek: No thanks.... :p

I'm excited to see how these will look as I have never seen a set on a 1g. As for the seats, wouldn't it be a huge pain to get them to fit since the sliders and rails would have to be custom fit? Also are the 1g interiors big enough to fit those large recaros?

Nice find, I like those rims. A friend of mine has a 04 STI with the bronze BBS rims and he was parting those to me for 250, no nicks or scratches. I'd rather have the Evo rims like you got :).
by the way, love the custom fade job. I got one my self, looks sick don't it. lol, that 1g will look clean with a fresh coat of black and those rims. Can't wait to see it.

I'm pissed... This little fucker took my money and ran... I gave him $250 and he said he'll drop the rims off at my friend's house and he never did... He's been avoiding my calls ever since...

Well... I finally got a hold of him.. He said he didn't have the rims anymore... Supposedly somebody stole them :rolleyes: He said he was going to get me a set of GSX rims, he was going to give me $50 back and he was going to give me a carbon fiber spark plug cover.

Lesson learned?

Don't give someone money until they are ready to put their parts in your face. I'd have told the guy I would follow him to go pick them up and if that was going to be a problem, "no thanks".
