I've been photowhoring a lot since I got my Galaxy S4. So this is going to be photo heavy.
Here's the plan:
Rebuild the Imolas
Find some stretch friendly tires
BC Coilovers
Ingalls rear toe/camber kit
OEM front lip
Asian grille
Maybe a Nardi wheel
Otherwise its staying stock and clean. None of that typical stickered up, tow hook, mad tyte JDM bull@!#$. That's not me. I'm shooting for a Euro OEM+ kind of thing.
This is my Accord. The worlds most bad assed daily driver.
Lately I've gotten bored of my motorcycle. So its up for sale and I'm putting the money into my Accord.
After about 3 months of trolling the StanceWorks classifieds, I finally found a set of wheels that got me excited and wasn't going to break my budget.
Rial Imolas 18x8.5 +35. They're German and are apparently not very common.
The plan is to tear them down, PC the centers, strip and mirror polish the lips, and get new hardware. I'm still undecided on color scheme. I really wanted to a do a relip and make them +22 but at $300 a lip, screw that.
This is what boxes from California look like:
Unboxed. @!#$ ya I'm watching Spongebob.
Little lip. Nothing ridiculous. I'm trying to avoid a fender pull.
With the stockers (16s)
Some test fitting. I couldn't find any wood to sit them down on. So its like test fitting on a monster truck.
Decided to start splitting two of them last night. The other two have some minor bends I'm getting fixed tomorrow.
Then I saw this on my way home from work. Zombie Prep Service straight out of Florida
This is going to be an all winter kind of build. Thanks for looking!
Fingers cross it'll be one of the nice ones in the end. I always liked the look of that year of Accord.
I miss my Cavalier, even if it made 100 hp on a cold day and had more suspension then it deserved.
I like those wheels. You gonna be adding any color?
Those lips look decently polished already - do you know if they are clearcoated?
