My new wheels

I'm not into big lips. . .bleh! And I wanted "stealthy" lookin' wheels, but in a bronze color. I finally got 'em back from the powdercoaters, who I might add, totally rocked. The metallic bronze that I picked wasn't the easiest in the world to work with, but they got it done. Kudos to them! I'll get my FK-452s mounted at FTL on monday night and then get these on the car ASAP.

They do look sweet. Can't wait to see them mounted. When is your Vortech going to be in?!

Thanks y'all!

PC was a little less than $300, which included media blasting, powder and clear coat. I got lucky tho, the company usually does motorcycle frames/wheels, and specializes in cold chroming exhaust parts. The powder I picked was such a hassle to work with, they said they'd up the price if they had to do 'em again. But. . .you may be able to talk 'em down a bit. You didn't hear me say it tho.

Yeah, they're really new and don't have a ton of offset options yet. If they come out with a 10-10.5" wheel with a nice low offset, I'll probably move the 9.5er to the front and get a set of 10.5ers for the rear.

What....No Lips?

What, no lips? I thought everyone loved big lips, or at least I do within reason. Can't wait to see the installed pic on your OB coupe.

Great choice in wheels! Given those widths, you really should've gone with the 12mm offset in the rear. That would've been perfect. With the current setup, you'll need 15-20mm spacers front/rear.

Nice wheels and good price on them too! What offsets are the best on the G35?
