Wheels I'm looking at anyones thoughts? XXR 502 Black Chrome http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...lackChrome.jpg Stern ST-5 Hyper Black http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...pgh/Stern1.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...pgh/Stern2.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...pgh/Stern3.jpg Going 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Staggered 255 all the way around |
Those look good. |
i like the hyper black better |
what color is your car? |
The Stern wheels are nice. The first one looks too tunerish to me. Are you going with the wider wheels up front? It doesn't make much sense to stagger them in the rear on a FWD car. |
Two Tone 255s front and rear. I want that staggered rear drive look. Car is silver, midnight gray metallic, titanium grey fade. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...PrixGXP1-1.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...ndPrixGXP2.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...ndPrixGXP3.jpg and for those that haven't seen my exhaust video http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...ertyTunnel.jpg Some like it some don't I get compliments from old and young alike (especially about the exhaust note). GXP logos are going for LS4 badges (prob. airbrushed). Top stripes will be changed to Black metallic pearl. |
Awesome looking GXP. The Sterns would definitely look the nicest out of those two. But I like how the stock wheels look on your car. |
I would be happy with both . I think black might be nice with ur custom colors. |
I like the stern's design, but I dont like the way the spokes curve. Those wheels are clean though, can't knock em. |
Hyper blacks are sweet. Either would look sweet though. Good taste! |
i would stay stock and powder coat them black,but there are pretty clean though... these are bad a** wanna get them in 20" for the imp... http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv144/SS_LS4/rim.jpg:D:D |
Wheels Gotta fix my 05 wheels. Thought about sending them out here in Pa and having them refinished and done Hyper Chrome black but $225/wheel plus repair $125-$190/wheel. Effed up these wheels were over $3000 of the cost of the car. Imagine what you could get for that money. Hell, give me hubcaps and steel wheels from the factory (some BMWs have them). I would get some hot ass wheels for that price. I want a lip on my wheels. I do get compliments on my factory wheels though. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...HROMEBlack.jpg |
You're not getting a 9.5" wheel to fit in the back...just not gonna happen. First off, if you can find a 9.5" wheel, it's most likely a RWD wheel, and likely to have a low offset (pushing it outward towards the fender). Then, you're adding 2" to the width compared to the stock GXP rear wheel? Good luck with that ;) |

Maas 028B http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...as028B_M28.jpg I thought these looked similar to my 05 wheels (more rivets thought) and sending them out to have the above post Hyperchrome Black done Maas 205MB http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...205MB_M205.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...XPEibachFr.jpg Drifz NOS 505B http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...LK_2_STOCK.jpg |

Are those available in our size spacing and offset? I was told that almost all of those wheels were not? The wheel guys I talk to are damn near retarded so I may be wrong. I guess I have a very similar taste in wheels. |
i like the ones that are simlar to the factory wheel. The problem i have ran into is if you wanna keep the odd sized tires u cant get two different sized rims in the proper fitment. |
