I personally would've went with 245-40-19 and 275-35-19, it should fill out that fender gap a lil better and also ride a lil better as well.

Hey Guys

I am in the market for some wheels. Considering the MRR HR5's...but the more I look at them the less I like them. My rp03's are all tweaked, and new ones aren't expected stateside til the end of August.... can't wait that long.

Any suggestions? Loved the pics so far.... thanks for the ideas.

Also, a dumb question... what brand (where to buy) the gialla-type grill for our 03 sedans? Thanks so much in advance...

No. When I was purchasing the wheels from wheelmax.com. I was originally going to get 18's, but they didn't have them in stock. So they gave me a good price on the 19's and never told me the sizes of the tires. When these tires are in need of replacement I want to change the sizes to the ones you stated.

For me, powdercoating cost me $80 per wheel on my 18's. I think thats on the high end though.

Paint, for rims, no idea

Hey brother!!!!

Gosh, how I wish the "old" crew would have a reunion!!! We have got to get together.

Most of the work that went into my car won't even show up under the hood. One work..... MoTeC !!!!! I got into a car accident back in January, have been trying to get things fixed... The body/everything else is done, just trying to finish things up under the hood. New 70mm thick radiator, new dual fans, new intercooler, new water injection system. But believe me when I tell you, the car is gonna be really special when it's done. Again... MoTeC... Everything will be tweaked (by me personally) to be at the pinnacle of technology. I got a daily driver (an Audi A8L), so focusing more on teh track aspect of the car... makes things way easier...

Anyway.... we'll see all very soon.

Beautiful!!! Just beautiful...

BTW.... Is the UT SedanGrille sold anywhere anymore. Not shown on their website, just ebay... and not sure if that's the same or not.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you Gurgen

You are going to need to contact UT via phone. They've never posted the grille for the sedan on their website for whatever reason. They have sold some on ebay by name. The others on ebay, from personal experience, don't have the same fitment as the UT grille. The UT is better quality and fitment but it also cost more My paint guy (paint the ebay version I had and the UT one I have now) said the UT was ALOT easier to paint and prep.

The one complaint I have about the UT is the clips they use to hold the mesh into place. The clips are held on by double sided tape so they tend to pop off if too much pressure is put onto them.

Post pics up once you get your ride back together. Good luck with the build out.
