dddddoooooooooo it

 

Like this??

 

looks sick! Def do it. I'm going for a similar look, I also have OB X, tinted out and lowered on oem rays 19's, I will be powder coating them black some time in the near future. Keep us posted on your progress.

 

JUST like that !

 

Anyone know of an alternative to the Volks? Or a wheel that I could powdercoat and red ring? Because I'll be going FI before I spend $4k on Volk TE37s

 

Just me but these would be sick the Veil Side Andrew Racing V, they are cheap ($1450 shipping extra) and available [I DO NOT HAVE THESE FOR SALE SO PLEASE DON'T PM ME]

 

do it.

 

I'm pretty new to wheels so I don't know whats considered good or not. I'm not even sure what I should run on an X. I know I want to drop it on H&Rs.

What about these? They're a bit more realistic for me to buy and all I would have to do is put on the red ring.

when it comes to wheels (i'm a self admitted wheel ***** in recovery), my only suggestion to people since wheels are a personal choice thing, is to just make sure you buy authentic wheels and not knockoffs... I've been in the industry since '91 and I can tell you that knockoffs kill businesses and manufacturers copyright wise, and people when they fail under load or even when they are not under load.

as for those OZ's they are the ish!!! I say

 

They're on tire rack so I think they should be authentic

I'm also considering doing what G35 Papa did and getting a set of OEM Rays 19's and powder coating and putting the ring on. It would be even cheaper I think. I'm just going to have to worry about going with the 5 spoke as opposed to the OEM 7 spokes I have. It's going to really show off my beautiful stock brake kit As for that size what do you think? I'm not sure I want to go too big since the drop on the H&Rs is pretty big. Also my options are very limited having AWD. No stagger, no wide wheels I think.

 

I like the OZ's but understand your concern with showing more of the stock brakes. BBK make almost any rim look better.

I think the OEM 19s would come out even better than my OEM 18s did and look better on the sedan.

 

Are OEM 19s ok for an X?

 

I like G35Papa's idea of OEM's.... it's ingenious

 

Way more affordable

If the OEM Rays 19s are ok for the X and wont screw up the transfer case, then they would be a really good option.

I guess I have to factor in price of powder coating each wheel and finding those red rings to buy.

 

well at that talk bout staggered screwing the X's transfer case is B.S..... I been running 20 inch staggered rims for 3 months and mostly highway and now switch to coupe 18's staggered and been running for 2 weeks with no problem..
