New Wheels! Painted Calipers Too!

[Rmuth25]

Just got the new wheels put on today. The tires I wanted ended up being discontinued(BFGoodrich G-Force Sport 235/40/zr18) which were summer tires. I basically ended up with the all season version of that tire(BF Goodrich Super Sport A/S 235/40/zr18.

The Wheels are 18 x 7.5(I think) 48 offset. I could not believe the difference in braking distance with the new wheels on. I am not sure if its because of the new tire or the wider wheel or both. I did notice some moderate vibration when going 75+ but I am hoping that will go away or lessen with time.As for painting the calipers it was pretty easy. I used the G2 kit. The only annoying thing was I only had two jackstands so I had to be somewhat quick before the paint dried all up.Tell me what you guys thinkPictures:

Rims look really cool.. now you need to drop it..

looks clean. u planning on dropping it? it looks like it could use a drop. calipers look good, i was considering painting mine gold but i think i'm getting a big brake kit when these are done and have the calipers powder coated. i attatched some pics to show u the look of the drop with eibach springs.

before drop

after drop

Getting the springs is on the list. I am going to get the windows tinted first however.Did you have the stache painted or did you get one of those overlays? I painted mine a little over a year ago but its starting to chip really bad so I need to redo it.

is it just me or do they look exactly like the 09 3.5se Altima coupe rims? which isn't a bad thing, just saying.

They're definitely similar but they have their own uniqueness as well. I like them, love the calipers too. Planning on doing mine soon as well. BBK is not in the near future so might as well

for reference on the '09 rims:

Yea they reminded me on the 09 18inchers and also ones that are on some of the g sedans. You cant tell from the pictures but the inside is actually gunmetal and just the face is machined silver.

lol you got the same wheels as me

here they are on my coupe:

toxik where did you get the brakes from, drilled and slotted rotors and gold calipers? i was looking into the stillen ones but they are really expensive. I just hate to spend money on brakes knowing one day they get replaced.

i used the G2 paint on my calipers too...but the paint is chipping and i just figured out it was the power washer that was chipping the paint off when i was cleaning my rims so i need to redo them
