Pics of the Wheels on the car

[1sicknickel]

Im up and down about the wheels not overall happy just because I feel the tires are too thick I might just have to run a 30 series tire after these go out. The tires are the New Falken 452 which have a bigger sidewall and not much stretch so it makes the tire look taller

[Axxis]

hate me now.

like'd the old set up better

could be the shots ;)

[audib7a4]

just to be honest with you, i like your old wheels better..

[JBM]

I think something a little bit more goldish would be better than bronzish. maybe take off the yellow headlight film.

[LAS]

^^^I'm with him.

[Axxis]

send them to me

old wheels show'd more big brake love. thats my reason

[1sicknickel]

I feel the same way you guys feel. The wheels are too bronzish and also it just doesnt seem fitting for some reason compared to my old wheels. I was planning on taking the yellow headlights off when I got the gold wheels. People were pleased with them today at the meet when they saw them in person but I am still not all for them

[John1.8T]

I LOVE IT....

Apparently I'm the only one... but I freaking love it...

I think the headlight film looks better with these wheels than it did with the black ones.

I dont know call me crazy but its so different that its pure sex.... love it. Major props...

[JBM]

Here is a quick pshop. a bit more gold would suit your personality.

JBM- I love you

[JBM]

I love you too- ? have you ever looked into doing a blacked out roof and hood?

[1-CLEAN-A4]

NOW the headlights accent PERFECTLY!! Nice

[Coco Cardenas]

Nah bro, those are sick. Dont be down, you did right.

[JBM]

sickening

[tcm glx]

I love them!! Pete, they look freakin awesome!! What tire sizes.....>Eric is doing the 20" Sportechnics on my new passat, and we are debating what tires to roll.

[Anthony]

That is a high/flat sidewall for a 35 series tire, very interesting. Wheels look good, but like others I'd either remove the yellow headlight film or have the wheels resprayed with more yellow in the mix (a la JBM's PhotoChop).

And maybe I'm the only one but I'm not a huge fan of the black/carbon hood stripes. I'm more for the clean look. Even just leaving the two black oval secure spots would look cool.

But overall, big big fan. [cool]

[sliverwagon]

I think it looks amazing
I also liked the old wheels but this look is so nice [hail]

[studlee]

i really liked your old look...this still likes nice too =)

[DetailersDomain]

I like the old look as well....maybe its just the color of the wheel, maybe Titanium Asphalt would have been better????

No worries you can always go back or sell these and change them again [rolleyes]

[DetailersDomain]

20 inch Sportechnics would be great or just buy Scott at Rival's 20 inch Sportecs they would look hot!

[sevenstarz]

I'll trade my GT7's with Titanium Asphalt. [:D]

Never was a fan of the stripes but overall I think the car looks dope. The previous look was dope as well. Nice problems to have. Brotha gonna work it out.

Peace

[mrponline]

Wheels look really nice, IMO the headlight film should go as the color clashes with the wheels.

JBM pic below demonstartes how clean this looks

[PS8boost]

HOLY SHIT! thats crazy pete! yeah maybe those would look better on my silver[:p]

Kris

[xbatmit3x]

i agree the fk452 doesnt have that strech that is typical with falken tires..... but they handle superb !!! i think u make lamin-x headlights look DOPE! they should sponser ur ride

[Re5pectThe_Cuz]

Peter the wheels look good but just like some others said the more gold does look hot as well...in the end its your car and knowing you, your prob gonna sell them

[[email protected]]

Pete... coupld you do me the favour and measure what your sidewall height is?

I just picked up another set of 19x8.5 wheels and am thinking of putting the 452's on them.

I wanted to see what the sidewall height is compared to my Goodyear F1's.

[1sicknickel]

I will once I get back home I suggest getting a 225 or 235 tire and also u might want to get a 30 series instead of 35

Thanks Pete.

I was planning on getting the 235/35/19 452's all around and your sidewall remark made me rethink things a bit.

If the 452 sidewall height is similar to the F1's then I'm happy with the look... I just didn't want it to be much higher.

[actlsub9]

i dont like the look of the extra edge on all of the spokes of the s-20, and i thought they would look a lot better on the car then they do from these pics, but they are just pictures so you really cant tell unless you see them in person

[HP18]

hmm..they don't look bad but I thought they were going to be more gold, atleast that's what it looked like from your other post
i was thinking of this kind of look
http://dut619.com/m3/images/075.jpg

[lsondubz]

like mentioned above, the gold on iforged above is much better

[actlsub9]

sicka4... yea thats axactly what i was thinking as soon as he said he got the gold leaf finish... i thought of dut's car and how sick it looked, but for some reason, it doesnt look the same, and i dont know why

[E Fresh]

Pete those are hott in person, but now that I think about it, they are little too bronze. More of a gold color would hit the spot[up]

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/efresh27/hotwhitegold.jpg

[Re5pectThe_Cuz]

hence the reason the wheels are in the classifieds now....
Pete I say just go balls out w/ Gold BBS LM's....

[adam's rotors]

i dont even think thats gold...its a bronze finish straight up...

peter...get the gunsmoke or charcoal lamin-x instead...
done it on a buddies white b6 avant it would go alot better...

[LivingLegend]

and it looks good adam! Pete knows what to do no one worry

[1sicknickel]

Called today and trying to get them refinished in this race gold

Hey Peter,

It's definintely the color and sidewalls throwing everything off. Those tires look like baloons for some reason. I hooked my buddy up with a set of 235/35/19 452s and they don't look like that. Maybe its just the photos. What size are yours?

[atrak]

anadized gold FTMFW [wrench]

[1sicknickel]

I have 245/35/19 rear and 235/35/19 front

Def agree, you need more yellow/gold to compliment that laminx!!

[gods_kitchen]

Looks great with the film off [up]

[lavetaaxon]

yeah son holla at that.

go with the race gold!

[shehatezme]

What a waste of money.

[1sicknickel]

WTF is wrong with you got something up your ass or what. I said the same thing about your mom one time but you dont hear me complaining

What a waste of money.

[minira]

peter you know i like the wheels cuz that was the color i wanted my next set to be. it does kinda clash with the film, but maybe it looks different in person. just sell me those and order another set, you know make it a baby present[:D] haha!

[1sicknickel]

They are actually growing on me.

[1sicknickel]

Same here still dont like the color in the light

[lavetaaxon]

im feeling them!

[John1.8T]

lets see... yep.... i still think they are sick...

[German Driver]

I like the wheels but there seems to be a lot going on with colors as many have said. Keep it simple. The car doesn't need much to make it look good. I say call me... Because I have a solution for your headlights, keep the wheels and you can call it a day. Honestly though, I wanna run something else by you regarding our previous convo.

[slowturbo]

send them to me

old wheels show'd more big brake love. thats my reason

agreed.

[BBinA4]

nice shots look gangsta!

[shehatezme]

WTF is wrong with you got something up your ass or what. I said the same thing about your mom one time but you dont hear me complaining

It's waste of money because you are putting them up for sale already! Chill dude. You said it yourself. You are not sure if you like the look. Maybe better if you have stuck with the SSR. In my opinion, your car was perfect with the SSRs. Hence my comment. Change is not always good.

You posted pictures and you wanted opinions, if you can't take the comments don't post pictures.

[1sicknickel]

The reason they are up for sale is because DPE want's me to sell them and get new ones made because if we strip down the original wheels it will only make them weaker. I am not selling them to get rid of wheels and get something else, Im getting the same wheel but a different gold.

[Cassmoney]

My vote is to go more bronze-ish. I added some bronze/dark orange to the wheels instead of more yellow. Gives it a deep bronze color instead of a washed out yellow/gold.

Dude that is the ticket right there.

[SickAvant]

I love the fit of the wheels and the height on your car, but the color and style just doesn't do it for me. I think if you would have gone blk, it would have made a big diffrence for the better...................... just my 2 c

[OutkastSL]

i still think it looks awesome. stands out too much for my style, but looks great. I had gold Rays Gramlights on my accord and loved it, but I'm getting old and don't want that much attention with the gold.
