Well i got my wheels now, the tires are still on backorder till the first of may. I decided to pick them up from discount a little early and evaluate the possibility of having them painted black (i love the all blacked out look). So i did a little test fitting.

I thing these things are going to look great!!! I think i may hold off for a year or so and have them painted when i start to get bored.

It's amazing how much better these cars look when the fugly stockers are replaced!!

 

oh yeah...ssr apparently didnt send me centercaps so i took one off my factory wheels for the test fit. I definatly dont intend on leaving them like that, lol

 

nice....going to look real good.....

 

Sweet, what tires are you getting?

 

toyo t1r's. got a GREAT deal on em. 1000 for 2 fronts and 4 rears.

 

Question, totally unrelated except that I see your sears jack. Do you use a hockey puck or something between the jack and the car? If you do what do you use?

 

Are those 245/0/19?

Nice lookin

 

i like that gunmetal black you have there. calipers standout..........

you just have way too much time on your hands.

 

I know you're excited to get those wheels. I'm digging those calipers.

 

That's a sweet deal!

 

very nice!!! now put them away and forget about them...thats the only way you'll cope with the waiting game

 

MadCat has a set that looks just like this....

Careful around that jack, doesn't look too solid....

Yes....you should ALWAYS use stands....jacks can fail easily...damaging the car or worse..you....

 

THANK YOU!

At my last company I had a lady call me asking for more information on a china made jack-stand. She was trying to figure out the manufacture so she could sue... Her husband was killed under the car when the "jack-stand" failed....

I would not cheap out on the lift or stands.....

BIG SAFETY ISSUES.... Just my "O".....

I have personally spent big $$ for a set of stands and lift.... My life I feel is worth at least the $800 bill...... Your call guys, if you choose to save the money on shop-bills, be prepared to spend it on tools.....

I didn't want to say it but that jack looks like my trucks road side version.

Sweeeeeet!!!!!!! Is that "Satin" finish? I think it looks better than my silver finish , but how are you going to match the center caps ? And don't forget to get the "concave" caps to match with the curve of the wheel !

Very nice job on the calipers!!!
