So A buddy of mine offered me a deal on these wheels that I just couldn't pass up.

We're not sure on the wheel specs, but they fit way better than the TE37's with 2" spacers....











Don't mind the bodykit, It's not bolted up.

Sorry Greg

It does look good although im not a big fan of strawberry face.Greg shouldn't mind cause yours have a matte looking finish and his are shiny/polished(baller).

Those wheels are PIMP. The big brakes up front look great with them too.

I don't really think you should lower it, maybe a little if you have to. More tire would look better, and be better, seeing as you have quite a bit of power.

Did the person who painted the car do any prep work or just paint over the factory paint? Looks like alot of orange peel and chipping.

Better pictures needed.After that, fix your sig, the amount of noise on it makes my eyes itch.

Finally the the wheels look pretty good, but the stance is a little high.

I hate Az, it's like 110 degrees in my garage right now.

Here's a few pics of how it's sitting right now. Still gonna play around with the suspension a little to get it where I want it.

The fronts are running 25mm spacers right now. I'm probably going to drop it down to 10mm or so to clear the brakes.





And the green thing is a punching bag. I call him Mr. sparkle.



I'll try and get some better pics when the sun goes down and the lighting is better. It's kinda hard when the car doesn't run and can't be moved very easily.

Thanks. I think it'll look better when I do the bodywork and paint it midnight purple.

Wheels look ok on there, wrong color for gold if you ask me.

How about getting that thing to a real body guy for some better fitment and paint. I though mine was bad (fixing over winter), but yours is horrid. Please get some better fenders, and get that thing to a real body shop. It has potential to look really nice, but the fender fitment, clearcoat flake, and dings kill it.

Those wheels are nice. One my favorite wheels. I didn't kow they even existed until Greg posted pics. You can't go wrong with them. I had a chance to buy 4 lug Work Equips in nice size and offset, but I had to pass because I'd need a lot of money to complete the setup. I'm glad you didn't pass the deal and got them.

Dude, are you seriously bagging on someone else's car? You have a primered hack-job pile of fanboi fail, riding on the bump stops with mismatched faux-baller wheels and a stock motor.

Build something unique, then your opinion will matter.

Fanboi.
