Just thought id post up an update as to whats been going on this past week.
ive been wanting to get a new pair of rims for a long time and ive finally saved up enough money to get myself a pair of sweet gtr rims which i think make the car look a million times better than the way the old 17 inch stock rims used to look like. Also i finally found the time to vinyl wrap the chrome trims around my windows. It was very time consuming and was a huge pain in the *** but the result was deff worth it... ill show a before and after pic. My friend also gave me these cool quad exhaust tips for free so I cut off the old tips from the tanabe axleback and welded these ones on which i think also looks great.
engine mods:

injen SRI
fi rtp's
tanabe axle back with quad tips


exterior:

ONEighty custom headlights ( HALO's ) with black housing
dipped grills
18 inch gtr style rims with nexen all seasons
smoked out tail lights
slight window tints
vinyl wrapped chrome window trims
SOON TO COME... FRONT LIP WRAPPED IN VINYL TO MATCH WINDOW TRIMS

pics: (iphone ****ty quality)























THIS IS BEFORE I CHANGE THE RIMS, WINDOW TRIM, AND THE QUAD TIPS



LET ME KNOW WHAT U GUYS THINK ABOUT WHAT I DID THIS PAST WEEK!

 

Personally I've never been a fan of the Iron Man headlights, but the painted headlight housing looks really good. I love those GTR rims! The only thing that would set them off even more would be a mild drop to eliminate some of that wheel gap. Do you have a full side profile picture of the car to see the wheels better as well as a full rear shot to see how those quad tips look with the rest of the car?

Keep up the good work!

 

I really like those headlights, and think the vinyl on the window trim is a big improvement. Car really needs to be lowered though to bring out its potential with the GTR wheels. Are they all fronts or a staggered set?

 

its a staggered set thanks for the feedback ill get a side view of the car as well as a back view sometime tomorrow

 

Looks good. I'm in the process of getting a set of GTRs for my sedan. I picked up a set of Stance coilovers that I'll be installing this weekend. I should have everything setup by early February.

What tire size did you go with? I'm set on 225/35/20 and 245/35/20.

P.s. I just noticed you typed "19 inch GTR wheels" was that a typo? They real ones are 20"

 

im not sure i gotta look into it i was told they were 19's i went with 225/35/20 (if they are 20's)

 

what % tints are you using on your windows?

 

Personally they dont look like they are 20 inch GTR rims... I might be wrong but it just doesnt look like it.

There are the specs on OEM GTR 20inch wheels:

20X9.5 & 20X10.5

 

Nice mods. Good to see something different. Did the tips change the sound of the Tanabe's at all? I think the icing on the cake would be to add a vinyl wrap piece to the lower rear bumper curve to finish off the blacked out look. What's next?

PS. You might want to edit your mods to say {19" GT-R Style wheels} to kill all future wheel comments.

 

Great call on wrapping the lower rear bumper

 

The wheels actually look like 18" GTR style wheels. I know those exist. I've never heard of 19s, and 20s are the real thing.

That's way too much meat on the tires to be a 19 or even a 20.

 

Nice transformation, I think the rear vinyl valence would go well, pretty easy to DIY since you've been working w/ vinyl already.
OK, now you've got all of us curious, what tire sizes are you running so we can see which GTR or GTR-type wheels you're rockin
Put it this way, if the wheels were under $1500 they should be GTR-type wheels

 

yea im starting to think that there the 18 inch gtr STYLE wheels but regardless of size i think they look amazing

 

Size matters.

LoL

 

They do look nice, I'm a bit surprised you're not sure what size rims you've got, but w/ all the mods you've been doing I guess it's easy to lose track, lol.
I thought I remembered some 18" GTR type wheels, here's the Ebay thread
