Rims came in today!

[Elderas]

They came in at about 12pm, so i rushed over to the shop, jacked her up, threw these bad boys in. after some huffing and puffing i was done and went home to take some pictures.

the pictures are crap because i wanted to put it in the garage before it started raining

Looks good ... I Like it alot.

[Gizm0815]

what rims are those?

[Bryan]

Looks really good. Welcome to the black rim side of life.

[GrandAmGT1996]

Looks good, is that front tire a little low on air?

[bryanw0087]

looks good

[bryanw0087]

17or 18's?

[notsoaveragej0e]

You need dual exhaust and GT tails, IMO. Not my style, but good that you like them!

[WeibSunder]

I don't like black rims myself, but congrats on the new rims.

[Elderas]

Azul Rims 18"

umm i dont know about air pressure i havent checked it yet.

[Jake]

Putting on rims with flat tires ftw! jk... I think when its lowered itll look pretty good. It does now, but I think lowering a car really sets it off.

[Elderas]

Once i can afford some lowering springs lol

[Jake]

Grab em off ebay for 200 bucks :D

[williamGT]

Looks good man.

[badboy2451]

[Rich]

[Rich]

hmm, i tried ordering them from a different ebay seller and they said they had them in stock but didnt. before that summit racing didnt have them either so i kind of gave up. maybe those guys really have them.

[Jake]

Yea, those are the same guys I ordered the ones on my Se from. Fast shipping, excellent springs :D

[Elderas]

anyone got pics of stock vs intrax drop? i honestly dont wanna drop it too much or ill kill the kit

[Rich]

intrax are pretty low. might have to look at getting some eibachs.

[Elderas]

well just ordered a set of springtechs

[Nina]

Black rims...ew but they do look good with the car!

[Bryan]

Once i can afford some lowering springs lol

well just ordered a set of springtechs

Well, that was quick. lol

[bryanw0087]

haha yeah it was, sounds like me when i was gonna buy wheel and wait on getting tires and i got a good deal and ordered tires like 3 minutes after said i was gonna look for some

[bryanw0087]

we oughta make a black rims club

[mzrmatt]

well just ordered a set of springtechs

I have springtechs and they lowered my car alot. Don't know how the are going to work out with the kit. I know I couldn't even imagine having any type of kit on my car with these springs.

[Jake]

Yea since you havea kit I wouldnt recommend springtechs or intrax, id say get eibachs. My old Se would scrape places sometimes, and the Se bumpers arent as close to the ground obviously as a Gt or a car with a kit, So I'd say if you get Springtechs, be VEERRRY careful.

[DrFabulous]

Rivets = :nono: but otherwise it looks good

[Elderas]

ya well i guess ill be going without my cell phone for 2 weeks but w/e its worth it :D

as for the drop. w/e happens happens. Im taking them off before the winter anyways. (perps of working in a shop)

[ancona46]

[Elderas]

those should word out then. I didnt want a 2" drop but i also didnt wanna make it seem like it was stock high so i figured however it looks after ill be happy.

[ancona46]

intrax is 1.8 i think

[Elderas]

oh my bad. I got springtech which is 1.5

not sure if i mentioned that or not

[ancona46]

that should look good and still be drivable...post some pics when u put em in

[Bryan]

I've heard the SpringTechs tend to give you a lower drop than advertised. I think Eibach would have been best if you're worried about the kit. Never know 'til you put them on though.

[Elderas]

or i could max out the credit card and pull a 'cona drop

(but i wont lol)

[ancona46]

lol then u dotn have to worry about how much drop u get

[e-nizzle]

Those look really awesome man. I'm hoping to get some rims powdercoated like that for mine at some point..
