Hey guys im really interested in these wheels, please post pics of them here. Also please post the color ou have. Im thinking of chrome or Mercury Silver on my DG, what do you guys think? Also I want 19's so do I need to change the suspension at all or do i need camber kit? THANX.

mercury silver, but look gunmetal because theyre still dirty from all the rain (i cleaned only the lip
). If you're getting 19s then you should also get springs or coilovers. itll make the car look much better but depending on the amount of lowering you may or may not have to get a camber kit. alignment is necessary.

mercury silver on DG looks best IMO. certain times during the day/night, the mercury silver almost looks identical to the DG (comments i get all the time). here's mine:

Keep the pix coming you guys, thanx a lot for such a quick response. Couple more things, how much u guys get your wheels for and about how much do the set of tires run. Also I dont want to lower it if I dont have to, but if I do, how is the ride on the car. And has the lowering of the car affected your warranty. Sorry one more thing, how does the OEM Tire pressure sensor work on these guys???

fortunately lowering hasn't had an effect on warranty. i believe if one were to fully swap out the suspension to make it full drift spec, then yes, warranty is a no-no. you have to lower the car if you add shoes because of the lower profile tires. it will definately look FUGLY with a huge gap. the ride depends on the kind of springs/coilover's you get. there are many types that provide close to stock feel, but great stability at high speeds/cornering. as for tire pressure sensors, what's that??!!!!! i've haven't had any problems. the price can go up to $3500 shipped with tires. just search around.

i think MS on dg is better because it makes the rim itself stand out more. gunmetal is also very nice (id love to have mine redone in gunmetal) but ive seen it on a dg coupe and it just looked a little bland to me. maybe it was just dirty, but my friend borrowed my challenges for a while and agreed that MS was the way to go.
the sf challenges are just nice *** looking rims. it dont really matter what color it is, its nice. the same can be said about our cars. but on a DG, I dont understand how gunmetal wouldnt be the ideal choice. like imalazeeass said, it looks most aggressive. plus the color combination with the gunmetal and DG with that polished lip makes the car stick out like a sore thumb. MS looks hot too, just a bit more gentle.
