Nice pictures John!

After seeing all the others with coupe wheels I've been considering selling mine and using the money for other parts...seeing that the wheels aren't separating me from the rest Connor let me know before you spend the money elsewhere.

 

I don't speed. I always follow traffic regulations.

 

Sure seemed that way when you were hanging into my rear bumper when we took off

 

Thanks. Thought that might be fun, and get a LOL out of people who went to the meet.

The Sport Coupe rims are certainly not unique on-line here, and subsequently at a meet-up. I didn't count, but I think more than half that crowd had Sport Coupe wheels on their Sedan. However, just tooling around Rochester, NY, I bet you've never seen another Sedan with those wheels before. Plus, they just look fantastic on the Sedan. With proven fitment. (Although spacers might work well with your drop, Zach.)

New wheels could very well mean new tires, and either way, it's a huge expense. So here's another, perhaps less costly, idea: do what Connor did with his Sport Coupe rims, and have them powdercoated something other than the OEM finish. (Black Chrome ) While at it, you could have the curb rash repaired. I bet if you did that, you'd be totally happy with the Sport Coupe rims for the rest of the time you owned the car.

If you only have the one set of wheels, making it really awkward to have them painted, I could help out and let you run my 18" Duckfeet for a few days in order to get the work done. (They have snow tires on them, BTW.) What you would do is take the loose wheels to a shop to dismount the tires, take the wheels to a powdercoater, then have the tires re-mounted and balanced. I've used Leland Powdercoating a few times in the past; his shop is off of Dewey near the Ridge, which isn't too far at all from where you live.

 

I was very surprised how many coupe wheels were at the meet up. They are a great design, very clean and sporty. It kind of makes me wonder what the thought process was with the duck feet. The coupes get all of the good looking rims.

 

Wow nice turn out, will def make the next one if during summertime.

Looking for all fronts or rears?
(PS IPL wheels on CL, no response from seller )

Any chance you have photos of your car? Black sport sedan w/ coupe wheels...killer combo

 

Here you go.

 

NICE
If I made it to the meet I'd just be creeping around your car the whole time, looking good sir!

 

Haha. Thanks. I think everyone was gathered around Chris's car the most, mainly the engine bay. It's amazing to see in person.

You should have made it to dinner the night before the meet up in Va.

 

^Really wish I made it out, at the least to meet up in VA, but it was tough weekend for me, if you guys plan to make it up again I'll def be there (1st round on me)

 

Chris certainly got attention for his black & purple engine bay, and that custom, hand-molded rear spoiler. Two very unique sets of mods. That, and the sheer effort involved in driving all the way from Memphis warranted respect. I thought my engine bay would take the win because of the details, but JP's painting skills are undeniable.

Albert got plenty of attention at the end of the day with that full ARK exhaust. All day long, I'm like, "Who's the guy with the ARK? Where is he?" LOL. Super kind of him to immediately offer his car to me for a quick drive. Instead of just goosing second gear up the hill, I should have gone outside the park and opened it up. (regrets)

So much black and gray. Only the two white sedans, until Albert showed up with his twin to my '11. Kind of disappointed not to see at least one red Sedan. Vibrant Red is so pretty with tinted windows. Such an uncommon color.

There was a surprising dearth of aftermarket wheels, just like there was an obvious presence of Sport Coupe 19's. That was unexpected.

 

My appreciation goes out to the 6 different people who pointed out one of my Reverse Light LED's was no longer functioning. I just swapped out the bulb.

 

which reverse LEDs do you have ? are they perhaps 5k ? these are the only bulbs I have left to replace. I want something that is 5k and very bright

 

I have no idea. They're white, and they're bright. A buddy of mine in Canada used to buy & sell LED bulbs, and he gave me four of these a couple years ago as a gift. 4 rows of 3 emitters, with one more on top. Pretty typical. One is still going strong, and the other lasted a little over two years.

 

Came across this picture and thought it would be a good motivated for John to install his springs. Come on John what do you say??? Nice little weekend project??
