New Rims
So I traded rims with a local, he had a set of 17"x10.5 momo R3's. I had a set of y2k's in silver.... we finally made the swap today after all the issues we were having. He had to have the inside of the rear wheels milled, kuz they would fit over the rotor hub thinger. So then we get them bolted up and realize the back is not lowering, right, well he has to go so Im on my own.... I quickly realized that they were stuck on the bumper stops.... so I take the rims off numerous times getting just enough cut off....
so im done with that bolt them up go for a drive to get air in the tires....
Grinding noise... yeah :help: .... you betcha, fronts are grinding, there is a small nub on the front spindles that are grinding, So i go at it with a mini saw and some sand paper.... got it good enough so that it doesnt grind....
so here are some pics while parked, the tires are low on air, some look almost flat.

My tires were nearly bald on the y2k's and I hated the staggered fitment.... these are worth alot more money, they are three peice rims imported here, and there werent many made, also when new the sold for 900$ a peice.... I got all that info directly from momo....
