Got the 7th gen wheels on. Options

[jwells]

They look really nice. I tried to take pictures but it was pretty dark, and they turned out bad. I'll do it tomm.

They are nice, just have a bit of curb chew on them - but its hardly noticeable. The tires look great on them, too. Kumho ecsta 711's.

Next up is putting disc brakes in the back. Those rotors are pansy. I may paint the calipers after the disc conv. as well...I'm thinking black or red. Any suggestions?

[Akimbo]

Black is pretty obscure. You could put a logo or something on it. Mine are green. Everyone does red, I just like the color green.

[jwells]

a green might look pretty cool on silver...like a hunter green?

does the paint need to be high temp?

[Akimbo]

Yes, it needs to be high temp. Mine are a lot darker than they appear in my profile. Especially when they are clean.

They are also kind of shiny.

sorry about the size...the only program this computer has is paint....

[Mousetrashdiver]

DUDE how much did those cost
lol
bad ass want a set

[Akimbo]

anywhere from 200-400 dollars usually. That's including tires.

[celicarocker]

yeah, i had a chance to pick up a set for $250.... now im kicking myself in the ass....

[jwells]

I got them for 250 shipped.

there's some curb chew on them, but for the price, it was worth it.

I'm gonna try different paints to try to match it a bit, to touch up some of the chew - and then go over that with clear nail polish. hopefully that will keep any chipping form spreading. i hope.

it s like night and day compared to the steelies, though.

tell me where to get them for that much! Ebay has them for like 600... And i am dead set on 7th gen GTS rims, they look so sexy on the coupe.

[aznxrussel]

i got mine for 275 local pickup... almost perfect condition...i only considered them cuz they had practically brand new kumho ecsta supras 712 tires on them

[st202gt]

that tight i waiting for mines to come...did it comes with the lugs and the locks too..i got mine for 400.00 shipped..

[jwells]

i got lucky with the 250. the guy i got them from just couldn;t afford tires, so he sold them to me for what he paid.

the 600 shipped w/ tires is almost worth it, because i paid
250 shipped wheels
238 shipped tires (kumho ecsta 711's)
41.00 for mounting/ balancing

so its almost 6.

these needa bit of work, but by just looking at them, you cant tell at all. Personall,y i think its like night and day with how it looked before.

also- i was owrried about thew heel gap, but after getting them on, it doesn't bother me at all, tghey look great

the 711's are a little loud and have a rougher ride, but its worth it. I've gained like 10-15 more mph around corners than before (it would be more, but i like to stay in my lane at all times)

sorry if i rambled, im drunk/

[Consynx]

anyone have the GT-S wheels with a drop? i would like to see pics if so...

nice wheels...

[saleeka]

The 600 on ebay i saw was WITHOUT tires...
