So i got my car hooked up today. Put 19x8.5 MRR GT5 wheels on it, with Nitto Motivo 255x35 tires. I want to go staggered but 19's cost so much more, and its my daily driver. I also put floor board White LEDS and swapped out all the other factory interior lights with LED's. It turned out great, i love the way it looks.

My only problem is it sets way to high. I've searched this forum up and down, and cant decide what springs i want to go with. I'm also concerned with lowering springs and shocks it will rub.

I'm getting it tinted tomorrow. I will clean it and take some better pictures.

There's alot of different wheels out there but i dont think any look better than these. I love them. Tint, exhaust and lowering springs and it will look great.

Beautiful bird man. Some EMBLEMPRO's Onyx series emblems for the front plate cover would really make it pop. The rear inserts for the PONTIAC letters as well if you don't already have them done. Here is a link to their site and my front plate cover pictured. Top notch product.

what LEDs do you have in the footwells?

dawsonjd

I put some LED strips in there. I will PM you which ones I used. They worked awesome, and were super easy to splice into the dome light wires on the drivers side kick panel.

Great looking car and wheels.

Pm me price ?

dawsonjd

I paid 2145 for everything with tire warrantys. The tires are amazing. Now I just need to make a decision on what lowering kit to use.

I'm running the BMR springs. Stance is perfect. Great spring.

Leds? Looks like you installed some flood lights in those foot wells! Lol!

dawsonjd

lol yeah they are very bright. Got the windows tinted today, completely changes the car. Finally cleaned it up and got some good pics today! I need to get with the reps and see if i'm going to have a problem with the tires rubbing. I pm BMR but didn't get a response back yet. Still haven't decided.

BOOOOOOO!!!! I've been eyeing these wheels for months and was hoping when the time came to put money into wheels I'd be the only one with these.

Kudos for having one sick looking bird though. Even though I've been eyeing these for a while now there's always been a couple other wheels that come up that I go back and forth in my head but actually seeing these wheels on a bird seals the deal for me. They look awesome man. I'm jealous.

I actually had a hard time getting them. MRR wasn't working with the place that installed them very well. They sent the the wrong size one time and didn't ship them another. The tire place tried to get me to change my mind i just couldnt do it, they are way to nice.

Well the troubles were definitely worth the outcome man. You should keep the pics coming of your ride. I cant get enough of the pics Someday I'd love to see these rims on my ride. Next year I might be to the point of buying rims. Few other mods I want/need to do for this year.

I was going to go with the 9.5in in the back to get the 1in larger lip than the 8.5in you went with but the lips on yours look pretty damn good as is. Kudos again

If i could change anything thats what i would have done, i do regret it. You should, they only reason i didnt is cause 19 inch tires are so expensive. This car is my daily driver and most months i drive 800-1200 miles, so i didnt want to lose my ability to rotate the tires. But the 9.5's are bad ***, the offset is awesome.

I'm going to clean up the wiring job i did on the led's by soldering all the connections, so i'll take some more pics incase anyone is wondering where to splice into the wires, on March 1st when this sale starts i'm going to pick up that koni/bmr spring/strut set up. After I get that on, I'm goign to have my wife take some pro pics.

Cant wait to see those. I hear ya on the price of 19in tires. Thats part of why I started swaying from these wheels and was considering other sizes but price considered, the wheels on your car definitely look like they cost more than they did. I hope when I bite the bullet the 9.5's fit and look as well as your 8.5's do.

When he says BMR, what he really means is the Strano's. Get the real thing, not the copy.

dawsonjd

I've seen alot of info on both, seems like no one really has anything bad to say about either one of them. You can't beat that kuni/bmr set up for 700. the strano/kuni set up is well over a 1000. If the strano's were cheaper i would go with them.

Man you are gonna fall in love all over again when that car is down on the ground where it belongs....holy crap it will change the whole look of it!!

SHould have just gone with 9.5's all around man. It works just fine, did it on my last 2.

Great looking ride bro

dawsonjd

Yeah i should have done more research, i talked with to different companies and they both said 9.5's would rub.
