New Wheels!

So I wasn't able to get my new Spanish Gold IPL wheels on since my mechanic has been busy the past 2 weeks. Now I have them on and I'm LOVING it! Switched from a stock tire setup to 245/40-19 in the front and 275/35-19 in the rear. This makes the car so much more planted and I feel like a god when making turns My next mod will be a full vinyl wrap to Daytona Blue. I'll create another thread when I start the project to track progress.

Excuse the image quality, these were taken with my outdated phone camera.

EDIT: Before I forget, shout to Venom for selling me such an awesome set of wheels. For me, this was the first time ordering wheels from another member so I was sweating bullets. Fortunately, they were packaged very well and delivery was right on time! They arrived clean and just as described.

I died a little on the inside every time I went into my garage only to see them lying on the ground, cleaned and unmounted. The wrap job will be an even more arduous task since I'll be DIYing it with a friend over the course of a month!

Side thought: would it be appropriate to attend Subie meets once the job is complete?

Haha no worries man. I was actually still in St. Lucia when the wheels were delivered. Received the text for free, but sending roaming texts is ridonculous!

Thanks dude, I think I'll stick with this setup until I'm banned from all Subie meets in the tri-state area. You can count on me attending, even if my wrap job is partially complete!

Those look great ...I wonder how it would look with the infiniti wheel cap in black and chrome like link below? The black contrast against the gold like your car ...??? look sweet I think...
Unsure if these will fit ...I think ours are 2.125 inches ..while these state 60MM so that would be 2.36 inches.

These look way better than the stock caps but I might just run the wheels without caps at all. Looking to paint the calipers red in the future and the car will be blue so it might be a bit too much on the eye

Do not do red calipers over gold wheels and blue car...too much color clashing.
Honestly, the stock silver might look the best with those colors...or maybe a different shade of blue but definitely not red
