Quick shots of the new wheels

[Glassnpowder98]

Well I got my wheels and coilovers installed yesterday and I can't be anymore happy. I washed her when I got home and snapped a few quick shots. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to take a trip to the mountains and get some better quality pics and test out the coils. The wheels are 19 inch O.Z. Ultraleggeras and the coilovers are FK konigsports. The coilovers ride a lot like the stock sport suspension but I can definitely notice decreased body roll when turning sharp, although I haven't really driven it too hard yet... It is pretty much slammed and I might get it raised a little bit because I'm getting some rubbing. Anyways, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

the oz wheels look amazing on this car. i could have sworn some other person had the same exact car with the same rims and same type of tint. it's all good though. i like the style of it. good job.

I had originally seen these wheels on tirerack and really wanted them and then I saw that TooLow2.0T had them... He actually helped and answered some questions I had about the wheels (thanks BTW). So I guess you can say that I did jack some style from him. He's on the other side of the country, so hopefully we won't run into each other... Haha. However, I do have some plans down the road that will make it more unique, but go ahead and flame on for now!

Width and offset? I like the fit on the front.

[Glassnpowder98]

19X8 35mm offset... no spacers needed and the tires are 245/35-19

haha nah man i think it looks really good. i've jacked some ideas from people on the forum as well. don't worry about it. by the way that black vinyl over the aluminum trim looks really good.

[Pure Euro]

They're OZs... not exactly something any one person can claim as their style...

and they look great.

If they're sold on Tire Rack (and under $3k) assume there will be others

Thanks for the complements... I gotta order some more of the vinyl and redo a few spots, mainly behind the rear doors on the top part of the small window. There is a really thin little line showing some aluminum because I think it has shrunk a little in the sun or I didn't cut it very well... I think I'll have to fold the weather stripping down a little bit and jam the vinyl up in there when I redo it. Other than that, it has held up very nicely and definitely looks 10x better with the wheels than the aluminum would.

Very nice. I believe "toolow" has a similar setup. Looks good with the black vinyl you added.

[HeHateMe]

wow, what an improvement. Black and red is sweet. more pics!

[AvantNoir]

Sweet!

[Glassnpowder98]

Sweet!

It's gonna look even sweeter once you paint those rings black and send them to me. haha.

The ride is actually very similar to the stock sport suspension. Might be a little bit stiffer/more bumpy ride but it is hardly noticeable. I havent really taken any tight turns yet because I'm trying to let the tires break in a little bit. But from what I can tell, there is less body roll.

Rings have been ordered I should be getting them in the next few days.
You'll have them in a few weeks You're gonna love them

Yeah, that looks a little familiar! Like people have said, everyone gets ideas from somewhere. I'm glad I could provide a little inspiration for ya. It would kinda suck if you went to the same meets I do, but since you're a Left Coaster that's pretty unlikely. Enjoy the wheels!

They don't look exactly the same!

[whitevdub]

Toolow2.0t- your car looks great with the light tint on the tails. what kind of exhaust tips do you have by the way?

[viperdsa]

The car looks sweet. Just wondering what height are you at?

ha there you are! I was waiting for you to chime in. I'm so jealous of your s-line package and I'll never have the tinted tails because I would get pulled over in a second in Virginia. So you will always be superior in those departments haha. However I'm planning on giving you a run for your money when the AWE black quad tips come out. I also ordered some red caliper paint today and when I get enough balls to take my headlights apart, I'm gonna paint them black. Haha I got a fever, and the only cure is more modding!

I haven't measured the ride height yet... Where exactly do you measure?

Thx man. Exhaust is APR catback.

[MOFSTEEL]

Looks great!
Black badges will definitely complete the look.

24 3/4" front & rear.

Black headlights and exhaust tips will look great. I haven't got the balls to pull my headlights apart yet either.
