Silver with Blue stripes GTS with Black Wheels

[Helo Steve]

The new wheels and tires arrived and I'm loving them. Got the 18" black OZ Racing wheels with Toyo R888 tires. I knew there would be a big difference between the old PS2s that came with the car, but it is truly extreme!

In the weeks prior to picking up the car I searched high and low for a silver with blue stripes GTS with black wheels. I know the combo is rare and wasn't able to find one, so I decided to make my own!

Nice, it looks good. Probably the first one I've seen with black rims. Thought about doing it on my siver/blue GTS, but I think I would have to go with a five or six spoke.

Its crazy how rims change the entire look of a car. For the better. Very nice.

Well done and HUGE difference between the oem stuff. Looks much better. I got the 18 inch OZ set for track only with slicks and really like them.

I'm really glad I went with the black wheels. They are really hard to photograph, but look really good in person!

Very sweet upgrade!

Where did you get the Toyo's? How much were they?

Not a fan of black wheels usually but in your case I do like them a lot. I think silver compliments the black. Good job, now put this car down to the ground.

I'd love to, but I scrape the front coming out of my driveway no matter the angle or speed... It hurts my insides every time I do it!

 

[speedracervr4]

I trimmed my front bumper about an inch so I wouldn't have to worry about it (as much lol).

Redo the bottom of the driveway. Mine is lowered and I scrape too. Sounds like your driveway is pretty steep since you scrape and your car is not even lowered.

IMHO.... When you do wheels with stock suspension, you still have that 4X4 stock look.... lower it and it will be a huge difference.
