Ho Hum, Another G with wheels thread..
#16
Looks great! Only thing I'd address is the front license plate holes. And +1 for tint. Glad to hear you are gainfully employed again - I've been laid off a few times, its no fun.

Looks great! Like phimp20 said, simple and clean.
The only other things I would consider would be the OEM front lip, possibly the OEM rear spoiler, and the Stillen roof spoiler. But it looks great as is!

The wheels are balanced Brad.. My worry is that during certain alignments they attach wheel clamps to read the specs. In doing so, they clamp to the rim. I guess according to my mechanic there are places that attach to the bead of the tire instead.

As for the license plate.. Observe the Rejected sticker in the left of the windshield
Ma law requires front/rear plates and I was just due for inspection. I had order a front plate which I misplaced. boooo

I highly doubt you'll need a camber & toe kit. Your ride height, flush fitment, and OEM wheels unique to the Sedan... looks perfect to me. Nice attention to details without announcing to the world that you modified the car. Well done.
AWD Swift Springs always seem to end up with the ideal drop. RWD Swift Springs not so much, in that they sag a little bit in the rear compared to the front.

I actually got some vibration from the front end today. Not sure if it was due to the alignment or if the lugs needed re-torquing. I got home and torqued the lugs to 80LB ft per.
Hope that settles it.

Thanks man..
I used to be in love with the silver spoke G coupe wheels, but since I have seen these installed on my cars color and the more aggressive offset it all just comes together. I even love how the tire looks mounted on the rim itself..
The car really has attracted a lot of attention lately. Pretty funny the difference a clean drop and wheels make to sporty looks of car.

Agreed on the aggressive part..
I sure hope to do the Akebono's and maybe front lip, but likely after winter months.. I could go crazy modding, but seeing the cash flow in out in droves, doesn't make sense right now.
I need to come up with a solution probably KYB's all around with the swifts. The OEM's are just over-matched.

Think I said it in another thread but man those look great! Not as aggressive (design-wise) at the sport coupe 19s, but certainly a more dignified look that complements the G sedan just as well
On top of that, seems the fitment is much better than sport coupe 19s, and that drop is also pretty much on par with what I'd do (if and when the time comes...), looks to avoid the impracticality of the super low suspensions while achieving a noticeably more athletic stance

The stance looks pretty legit. +1 on the tint suggestion.
The front plate holes kill me though. If you're planning to take off the front plate after inspection, then i think there's a DIY to make front plate plugs.

What was the going rate for these when they were available? You guys were getting deals right?
Found a local sale for a new set of staggered convertible 19" wheels, wondering what I should offer.
Thanks
