summermode today...tein h-techs18x8 OZ superleggeras powdercoated semi-gloss black, 35 offset, 25mm spacers in the rear. 235-40-18 continental dws tires.

Sexy Sexy man. Luv it

Nice set up, and beautiful wheels! Can't wait to be able to summer mode mine. Soon..

It looks great! There's a certain charm about two-tone lowered Vibes.

do you have a full view view of your rear end? no (removed)

It looks really good Adam!

painted the centercaps florescent yellow yesterday and took off the spacers....it was rubbing on dips...

Ooouuuuu!!!! purdy! looks very very slick bud!

Frigging love your rims. That’s what I wanted to put on my car but everywhere I looked I could only find them in 17s in our bolt patern where did you get them.

Got them on a local classifieds ad...

Now I'm on ultraleggeras...

Wow ! in that first pic it really looks sweet. Im not really a fan of the black road wheel look, but your car definitely has me thinking otherwise !

some updated pics





in buffalo, ny this past friday


with my fathers car


fresh and clean

nice wheel setup! Now I kinda have a look of what RPF1's would look like on the vibe, since they are kinda similar in spoke pattern. that's a large spacer in the rear. How long are the wheel studs you had to replace with?

Is it expensive to get the projectors for the vibe ??

Not really...but since mine were used they also have red halos that I didn't hook up

I sell HID's and whatnot locally (and the Toronto area) and I can get projector kits pretty cheaply if you can DIY

Very nice Vibe!

Got the roof rack vinyled black tonight....$40

put the crossbars back on this afternoon and took a better photo of the vinyled rack

I'm loving your stance!! I 've been debating spacers in the back for a while.. I'm on s-techs which may be a little softer than h-techs? I don't think i would rub with 25mm's, however, if i had a passenger in the back i think it would pose a problem. I'm on 16 steel wheels for now.

Oh and nice job with the vinyl on the rack!

htechs are softer, but stechs are lower

the 35mm offset, 25mm spacer, 8" wide wheel and 235 tire rubbed like crazy on the back

a 15mm spacer would have been ideal...maybe even a 20mm for that setup

steelies would likely still tuck in

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Im thinking i will take some measurements with some friends in the back seat as well.
