Those bronze rims are Rays TE37, they are made by Route 246 (R246), they could be found on Kenon.

"kenon" doesn't help me out very much. I put it in the search engine and cant find the site.

Maybe you should try to search harder next time?

I typed in "Kenon" on google, and the website is the 1st link on the page...

Rims looking very good on the STi.

You are really into alloy, aren´t you?

Yep, I do love alloy, especially wheels.

Haven't posted anything for a while cause I've been pretty busy. But I did win some stuff a while back, including some alloy rims that I always liked the look of but wasn't ever going to spend $30 on them. I won them for $5.






Q & C always welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

You never know what good deals you'll get from that auction site.


Including this good deal.







Wheels are wrong offset, but I just threw it on the chassis for pics.


Q & C welcome.

About how much did you get as a total for you first kit, everything just to get it to run. I so want one. :3 Such a nice collection.

[xmodcanuck]

So I was goofing around with some wheels and tried these out.




But these are really what belong with this body.




Q & C welcome.

Q & C welcome.

Those rims look perfect

All kidding aside, the actual rims look good, its clean and fits the car well. But the body could use a slight drop !

[DRFTKO]

Wow! The second (chrome) set of wheels look amazing! I take it you made those yourself?

Thanks Dr.K.

I've been doing quite a bit of racing these lately which is huge fun......but it has caused some parts to break. In one big rear-ender, my body flew off and the teeth of my stock gear diff got damaged. I already had a bunch of spare parts, but I did have to buy a few bits and pieces to complete a new ball diff.



Then in a long marathon of racing (8 hour day) I broke a steering rod and the plastic on the main chassis that holds the knuckles. Lucky for me I had some spares to fix it almost right away.



And these are just some miscellaneous bits that I picked up. The steering wheel is a direct replacement for the KT-18 but it has a foam grip instead of the stock hard rubber.




Q & C welcome.

I haven't had a lot of time lately, but I did get this a while ago and I got some pics of it and finally have time to post them.

I had wanted a white WRX as long as I could remember but when I finally got a mini-z I couldn't find one. Then I found one by accident and now it's mine.

Thanks man. The wheels are easily available and not that expensive. You should get a set.

So I have had a couple white bodies for a while now and not really had the time to do anything with them. Well I have purchased all the paint I will need for them and have finally got the clips mounted on the Enzo. After the holidays it'll be the first body I've ever sprayed. I have 2 other Enzo bodies and they were both missing mirrors when I got them. Racing incidents probably. Since I will be racing this body when it's painted I decided to shave the mirrors before paint. I was happy with the results - it's like they were never there.

I realized I never took pics of my 90mm WRX chassis. It's very blue under that Subaru.






Q & C welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

So recently I was talking to my dealer about something and he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. My dealer is someone I've bought xmods and mini-z stuff from many times. What we were originally discussing shall remain unknown for now but he offered up a race ready 02 chassis for insanely cheap, so I bought it.

2007 Honda Takata Dome NSX

It came with alloy knuckles, upper arms, SS kingpins, SS screws throughout, silver PN DDS, silver PN v2 94-98mm mount, Reflex silver WTF v2, 2.0* camber, purple springs, ball diff with PN 64 pitch gearing and v1 PN 70T stock motor and bearings.












And he says my other chassis needs an ATM DPS and some more blue alloy bits so he throws some into the package. It's funny because I just had a track day and my Enzo was having problems reversing so I switched to my other chassis which I just changed to 94mm and it was hopping around every corner. It is wicked fast though and I still got 3rd twice. I can't wait to race it again.




And as I was working on my cars I realized I had one chassis of each color so I had to get a group shot.





Thanks Traveler for hooking me up with my latest fix.

Q & C welcome.

[xmodcanuck]

Other news... I finally got the mounts glued up on my Subaru so now it's ready for paint.




And here is my 94mm chassis as it sits now.




And last but not least.....I got new rims for the NSX. Will get pics of them mounted soon.




Q & C welcome.
