Opinions on these new wheels I got?

So I just wanted some feedback on what everyone thinks of these new wheels I just scooped up. This is my first official post after being a member for a while.. I'll post some more pictures later. Sorry I didn't realize two of the pictures were snapchats I had saved😳

I got them through my shop PetrolWerks in NY. I had almost bought them from EvasiveMotorSports in CA, though.

Those wheels rule!!!

I had a set on order in sunlight silver and the wait was three months. I was okay with that (for goodness sake, I waited longer for an exhaust). But then the wait went up to six months and the dealer didn't want to be on the hook for that long even with a 50% deposit.

Got some other wheels, but I still covet those...maybe someday.

Enjoy!!!

Sean

One other quick thing:

Yes, Sean. They're Rays specific wheel locks. And I hear ya. I waited 4 and a half months for mine. In all honesty, I love them and would've wait 6 if I had to. I can't get over how nice the black finish is with the polished accenting on the lip and spokes so that it doesn't have that "black hole" look that some white cars with all black wheels get. Plus I'm thinking of doing some white or red tire lettering soon to make it pop more. Haven't decided yet

Nice choice there! The red lug nuts look sharp w/ those wheels too. What wheel/tire specs did you end up with, looks to be a great fit. That finish on the wheels is superb, looks like the paint is still wet.

Nice wheels but black is not the best color for showing them off. Either way, great wheels and now time for some BBK with that wide open face.

Wheels are: 19x9.5 +38
Tires are: 255/35

They're the same all around. I'm running a square setup for the AWD to avoid all issues and unnecessary wear on the tranny

I have to respectfully disagree with you. Those wheels shine hard and break necks when I'm at a light or parked but I do have to say they don't stand out while I'm rolling, but I knew that would be the case going into it. I love the wheels but you're allowed to disagree. I'm guessing you would've chosen the silver finish in these wheels?

And thank you man. Appreciate it! I did have blue lugs on there once upon a time.


This was while my red wheel locks were on back order and before I dropped the suspension to fit with the new wheels. This way from the first day I got them on. You can tell bc look how crusty the tires look😂

No, I still think the stormtrooper look is sweet. It's just from your first snapchat pic you can't tell what they really are. How light are the wheels? Also, any other plans? I'm thinking a red BBK with a sport front bumper/splitter would really set the car off.
