The new wheels are on...finally

[PJJP]

I hate waiting for things like this, but the wheels finally came in. They look better in person that I thought they would.

As far as weight savings, I saved about 2lbs on each rear and the fronts are about the same as OEM. I knew getting these 20's would not really save me much. The look is exactly what I wanted.

Here's a few pics.

I am not a fan of black wheels But your car looks super. And the red lip on the black wheels looks awesome.

 

[wallbanger]

drilled rotors would be nice

 

[Rolstar]

those look great, nice choice!!!

 

[PJJP]

wallbanger, drilled stoptechs are on the way now...

 

[mad0953]

I like....very nice......a giant sized matchbox car that kicks asp!!!!!!

 

[Billy The Kidd]

That looks amazing!!!! What make are the wheels? Are they powder coated or painted?

 

[wallbanger]

wallbanger, drilled stoptechs are on the way now...

i have those and u r gonna love em, those rims will show off the rotors very nicely....On a side note that is one advantage of the H rims over the 5 spoke is that they show more of the rotor...

i'd post a pic but i'm at work...our cars other than the rims are pretty similar...hood,stoptech drilled,belanger headers/exhaust,polk spkrs,motons , 2 tone interior

I was supposed to get the hood today, but there was a problem with the paint and he is having to redo it. Looks like it will be next week.

WHOAH! That's a lot of red...looks cool.

looks like Forgelines...20's all the way around

 

[viperfuntime]

Love em'. I can't wait for mine. I saw those on the Forgeline site and fell in love from the moment I saw them. Great choice.

You got em' before I got em'. Good for you. Mine are supposed to be shipped today from IForged. Spoke with Vince yesterday at IForged and he is shipping my Monaco's out today. Same design as the Forgeline with black centers and red lips, although I had my lips powdercoated instead of painted, not sure if Forgeline powdercoats them.

I will post my pics when I get them mounted.

It looks like you went with Nitto's....nice choice. I decided on the Michelin PS2's because I wanted a bit more sidewall.

Again - congrats........great choice. And I am happy you are in Texas so we don't run into each other with the same car.

Hey U-R-Prey - one more thing. I own some real estate in Plano. I just caught on to the fact you live in Plano. I own an apartment building off Parker and the tollway in West Plano. Its close to Legacy Towne Center.

Where in Plano are you located?

 

[PJJP]

sundevillover,

I grew up in Plano. My office is at Legacy & Hwy 75. I now live just outside Plano in Lucas though.

BTW, I hope no one in TX gets my wheels. I will be mad. I got these because I did not want to look like everyone else.

ILLSMOQ, the wheels are 20x10 & 20x13.

 

[viperfuntime]

Same feeling here. You have DFW covered and I have So Cal covered. So anybody out there looking for these wheels has to live outside these areas or else

East Plano - got it. I am looking at an apt. deal at the same spot 75 and Legacy. I like the area but really like West Plano best.

Enjoy the car

 

[Malu59RT]

Hmm..do you ever attend the N. Tx VCA events? I've been meaning to come out to one of those.

 

[PJJP]

I have been to one VCA meeting. I am trying to go to the one tomorrow night.

 

[DII]

Wow another member of the 20/20" club eh

The wheels look sweet! Enjoy

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

It's a look.

Can I get the stock wheels from you?

 

[PJJP]

Here's one with the top up. Thought I would post it. I know these painted wheels are not the first choice for most of you, but I am in love with them.

You need a hardtop from Jeff. BTW, the car looks great. I really like the look. Cant wait to see it with the '08 hood.

 

[PJJP]

I keep the top down 90% of the time...don't think I would get much use from the hard top.

 

[viper spray]

Sorry , but those wheels are horrible , waaaaaay too much red going on there.

 

[PJJP]

viper spray, I appreciate your opinion, but I love the way it looks in person. To each his own. I was going for a more aggressive look. I bought these for 'me' and I am one who personally does not care about the 'looks' I may or may not get from other people. This gave me just was I was looking for....a smile on my face every time I see the car.

 

[ulllose]

PJJP--just wondering what did you torque those lugnuts to? I never contacted forgeline about the torque specs for my wheels so i put them at 95lbs. Just curious ....

 

[Sellshomesdrivesviper]

Hey Austin, how about PS showing a yellow beast w/yellow wheels.

 

[PJJP]

ulllose, I am not sure on the torque, discount tire mounted them for me.

 

[HI-NOS-Viper]

Man those wheels look absolutely superb. that truly makes the car really stand out in a good way. I am really liking the looks of these 20'x20's that we are seeing more of. I dont think its too much red at all, just perfect.

 

[Nine Ball]

I think they look great. One of my wheel vendors has been wanting to make me a set of blue matched wheels like that for my coupe. I may try something a little different, as if my white wheels weren't already different enough
