3800 My New Rims are finally installed!

[BlkJak]

Well, I got them changed out on Saturday. Whew!!!! Took advantage of the nice weather and had some fun. Washed the car and installed the new rims and tires. Made for a great day! Now I'm seriously thinking of a lowering kit now once I get the job situation locked down, but I think it can wait a while! I'm happy for the time being! More pics in the garage............ B)




I love this car...... even though it is a GT!

Blkjak-

Your rims look really nice, I also put on my new rims and tires this past Saturday due to the awesome weather. I put on some 18" Enkei RS6's and I love the way they look. Now all I need to do is paint my calipers and clean up my rotors

Good luck with the job hunt!

both cars look sweet, I cant wait to put back my rims but will wait till late April just incase.

BTW
Good luck in the job hunt too..

rjaz gtp, What kind of tires did you go with I need to put some new meats on my 18" wheels this year I've had Nitto 555 for two years and now I'm looking at some BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW-2 245/40-18

Wheels look nice, What kind of lowering options you going with. These street are horrible if you go to low.

lee3gtp-

I think they are Michelin Pilot Sport 245/45ZR-18
I am trying to remember the specifics off the top of my head?
I looked at so many tires...

I got them from Discount Tire.
Michelin Pilot Sport Tires

Awesome fellas....

 

[LowenhartGTP]

rjazgtp, I would suggest the 12in. brake upgrade especially with 18s.

 

[BlkJak]

I have no idea what setup I want to use to lower the car. That's where I get hung up. Not too low, but low enough to make it look good! :huh: So, that'll wait for now.

17's.......

Yeah I know it looks a little out of place. I will be painting my calipers when its gets a little warmer out and painting the rotor hubs black to just take that rust look aways. I think I will need brakes in the next year or so, so when I get them I will be upgrading the front end to the 12 in. brake setup and putting some Powerslot rotors all around

if your just looking for springs I would suggest spring tech springs ALOT of people are buying them and liking them too. They are on ebay and they have 1.6,1.75,&1.8 in drop springs and they are real cheap in price starting is like 129.00

 

[zeez gtp]

Rich, i swear your tires are 235/50r/18's.

[HUNTERDOG]

Cars look great guys! I got the bug and put my new 18's on too. I sure hope it doesn't snow anymore. I strongly suggest the GMPP kit with Eibachs. I love the ride and it sits just right.

 

[BlkJak]
