New wheels.... Finally!

gashog · Apr 16, 2008

Several of us have bought new wheels for the summer time. I thought I would join in too.

After being torn between FR500s (black) and the bullits, I decided to go with the bullits.

What do you guys think? Also, my buddy (Fobra559) decided to show up and hog the lens a bit. lol

And for Fobra559:

:SNSign:

I almost went with those, I went with the Steeda's instead...Your car looks much better now with the Bullets..

Looks good.

I too was considering those wheels but decided black wheels on an Alloy car might look kind of odd.

Looks nice. Where did you get them, and if you don't mind how much did they cost?

Ha ha... I thought about that when I was posting. I took it off to cover the center section. I am planning on putting it back on this sunday if I have some free time.

Got them from Lethal performance. Wheels + tires came out less than $1000 all said and done. Tires from tirerack 73/per on sale. Stock BFGs.

Thanks for the positive comments... yes lowering is coming soon.:Zip2:

What did you come up with to cover it. I just got mine on, but have been scratching my head about that. Post pictures of your results.
Amen to being careful about driveways.
I used panel fastners from Auto Zone to fill the holes. Had to buy a few packages as they were assorted and not enough of the right ones. I used faucet washers on the underside to hold them.

I bought some door threshold moulding (rubber) and hopefully it will be rigid enough and durable enough to hold up against the weather and driving. Got it at home depot for less than $10.

I will post pics up in your thread when i'm finished this weekend.

Nice!

Looks great... I thought the black rims only really looked good on black cars... you have changed my mind.

Nice!

That is a good color contrast and the polished lip helps break it up You should like the KDWS(esp for $73 each). They got me around 30K all season miles and 17 trips down the drag strip with moderate burnouts(consistant 2.0 60')plus a few burnouts here and there. I was nearly down to the wear bars in the rear and the front still had decent tread(never rotated).

The KDWS also comes in a 245/55-18, which is .3" wider and 1.3" taller(28.5). That will easily fit the wheel and the fender once lowered

Nice, I will look into the 245s. I am looking forward to the track in a couple of weeks! Thanks for all the positive compliments. I think it looks kinda funny still un-lowered, but i'll take care of that soon.

Did just a bit of PhotoShopping to help your car stand out a bit

gashog · Apr 24, 2008

Thanks for the new wall paper Kool!

Looks great!

Poopdawg:
Your car was probably my inspiration for the black bullits. I really dig the way your car looks. I think i'm going to go with the same drop as you also.

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.
