nazar Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Finally, they arrived, bootyful 17x9.5 all around with 5" bs Centerline big sur 2 piece forged wheels, look much better in person and without those UGLY centercaps Fit nice, the wheels fit stock suspension, but the tires wont, at least in the back, just as I had predicted, but coilovers are on the way. I ordered the tires today from tirerack and they will be here tomorow. 275/40/17 rear and 255/40/17 front. The wheels look GREAT, they are light and look very clean. The lip is HUGe and they look good on the car. I lifted it up and put 1 side of wheels on and will snap some pictures, now im contemplating whether I should go to it with a scotchbrite pad and give it that brushed look or leave it polished, its pretty shiny, which im not a huge fan off, so we'll see when theyre mounted Should have it back on the ground with tires tomorow night!!!

nazar Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Wasn't sure if I'd like those... but I do! Gonna look sweet! i said the same thing, crossed my fingers and hoped they'd turn out with the look i was hoping for Tires are on their way here, 275/40/17 sumitomo htr z II rear and 255/40/17 front I will mount them with the whole wheel polished but will most likely do a brushed finish on the face to break up the wheel Wheels are 17x9.5" all around with 5" bs The front and rear wheels fit on with stock suspension and i think the front tire may even clear with the stock suspension the rear tire wont, need coilovers Also, I am getting carbon fiber ZG flares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Do you have a weight on those wheels? I like! Actually while I am asking, what kind of price range are we looking at? I think those with a painted center might be pretty damn nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those with a painted center might be pretty damn nice.[/quote'] this is the weird part, back when i ordered it, first of all they didnt offer a 4 lug bigger then 8", but i talked to them and they made them specially for me, lol...THEN the price for a 9.5" 17" wheel was I think 199, cheap as HELL Now when i go back on there they are 294 So I saved $100 per wheel, damn should have bought some more, they are $300 a pop now. They are forged 2 piece, and they weigh about 19lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
