I'm a big fan of these wheels on a G, I just couldn't afford them when I was rim shopping. I'm glad you did it! It looks great.

Thanks, actually had the stock 19's on there with bald tires, they were stolen, and insurance paid for most of these. The whole setup ended up costing me about 300 dollars out of pocket. Props to chris @ f1motorsport for hooking me up and getting them here way faster then anyone else could. Fitment is exactly what I asked for, I could not be happier

gunmetal on black is the best combo Ever consider powdercoating your brakes to another color?

Yeah I was gonna do them in the goldish broze color that the oem brembos came in but I am planning on a 4 wheel BBK in the near future so I'm gonna see how soon I can make that happen. I also ordered the project kics neochrome lugs, but they were backordered for a while so I just order rays formula lugs, the brand new ones in silver/blue. They are the ultimate in security- they use 5 seperate bits per corner so they will be nearly impossible to remove and also a 2 piece design like the project kics.

you could of totally ran bigger lips. i ran into the same issue. no one really has big lips with a bbk .

i am running 14.1 inch rotors with a 6pot/4pot rotora set up. everyone told me that because of the calipers i couldnt have big lips. i almost dropped the gun on some vsxx but the lips/offsets/color/size where so specific that it would take for ever to get. i went with AME to be different and i am running 4.5/5.5 inch lip on 20s with a bbk so it can be done. food for though if you ever decide to buy another set of wheels

granted my camber is -4+ and my offsets are both in the negative digits. tire wear blows but looks amazing. good luck with your project.

dude, great choice of wheels... and if you do any rolling shots with the blue lug nuts, it would contrast perfectly... but i'd have switch to your black ones... from who did you order this fancy new formula lugs???

Similar but slightly lighter, kinda like a medium gray finish

got the lugs from chris @ f1motorsports. i was actually wrong, the have a keychain hex key to remove the cap and then a 7 sided internal drive on all of them. nice and solid, they weigh like 3x what my original rays weighed. Gonna try and get some rolling shots this weekend
