cars just beautiful

 

Not only does it look great, but you did a real nice job on the before and after pictures. Should help those that are trying to decide.

 

looks amazing!

how much did wheels america charge?

 

If you bring them your wheel they will have it done overnight (<24hr). They charge about $125 per wheel (with a lifetime warranty). They paint the wheels not powdercoat them.

If you leave your car with them the price goes up to $162 per wheel. But that includes breaking down the wheel/tire and then remounting and balancing them.

In my case Firestone damaged all 4 of my wheels when installing the 275's and moving the 245's and agreed to pay for the damage. So basically I told Wheels America to fix and then paint the wheels gunmetal.

 

Very nice. I need to get on the Eibach bandwagon!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!

 

lookin good bro! Hows the Handling with the wider tire setup? Does it fell better than the stock set-up? or does it feel more mushyness with all the extra meat? Or does she grip more in the corners? I have the G37 rims on my sedan. and if it makes a big diffrence in handling. I may upgrade my tires as well!

 

^ Mike.... the stock 245's are 9.64 inches wide and the 275's are 10.82 inches wide which puts just a little more tread on the road. I would say that grip is slightly improved and the handling the corners is better (I dont do a lot of spirited driving and I finished this setup last Friday). Because I am running thinner tires (40 up front and 35 in rear) it seems like there is more road noise in the cabin. So far I am completely happy with the setup.

 

Car looks great! Excellent pics, documenting the before and after.

 

I like it, very clean and subtle.

 

i love the way it looks. may i ask why you chose to paint rather than powdercoat? since i heard powder coating lasts longer and doesn't chip as easily as painting..i mean i know you got a lifetime warranty but regardless wouldn't it just be simpler if you had something more reliable to begin with? thanks!

 

The shop that I took the car to doesn't powdercoat. That was the only reason. Honestly either way wouldn't have mattered to me.

 

looks niice man the rims are perfect!!

i love the eibach drop !!

 

2 weeks. you can do figure 8s to help them settle but time is also important.

 

Errrr... well I made an appt for this Thursday..... figured 1 week was plenty of time..... guess I should start doing those 8's.....
