New Rims

hotcarmaster12 · 06-30-2009, 09:16 PM

Finally got my rims today. I still think the lip is too big, but oh well, they ride wayyyy better than the 20s. And sorry for the pic quality, was late for work..

These show how big the lip is:

Someday it will get lowered, and Im painting the calipers red tomorrow

Looks pretty nice.

tipnitty · 06-30-2009, 10:08 PM

i like the 20's better but these look good goo

hotcarmaster12 · 06-30-2009, 10:10 PM

thanks,
and I just didnt like the ride with the 20s, and I like how these look cleaner without all the spokes

[ChaosweaveR] · 06-30-2009, 10:22 PM

Looks good. I like how big the lip is on them, gives the GA a mean stance. Good choice.

burgett2103 · 06-30-2009, 10:25 PM

they look good man

CantBeatIt96 · 06-30-2009, 10:44 PM

the 20s would be better at show but ya those will be much better for the ride quality.

im not sure if im goin with bbs style rims or a star patter rim for my next set.

SSRacer · 06-30-2009, 10:48 PM

Nice. They look very similar to mine actually

LeapingLizzy · 06-30-2009, 10:52 PM

Those look very nifty

hotcarmaster12 · 06-30-2009, 10:55 PM

ChaosweaveR:I guess it does kinda give it a mean stance

,
burgett2103: Thanks
cantbeatit96:yea I like the star pattern better than all the different spokes.
ssracer: they are pretty close looking to yours, I just realized that. I love your car

leapinglizzy: Thanks!

I like the lip! What are the specs on those wheels and what kind are they?

Thanks
Their 18x8.5 Stern ST-11 and Nankang Ultra Sport 225/45/18s

2000 GT Coupe · 07-01-2009, 06:37 PM

They look good, I like the lip but why 225/45's? why not 225/40's?

hotcarmaster12 · 07-01-2009, 07:02 PM

because its too thin for around here, and manly because I cant lower it right now. So i figured by the time I need new tires Ill have enough saved up to get it lowered and get 225/40/18s haha

AaronGTR · 07-01-2009, 07:18 PM

I like 'em, good choice!

hotcarmaster12 · 07-02-2009, 07:49 AM

Thanks!

No offense, but that's a silly reason to get the wrong tire size. If you're concerned about ride comfort, then 17"s would have been better for you, and you can have the 45 profile. Having a 45 profile with 18"s is too tall, and you have a bit of ribbing and your speedo will be off. Do yourself a favor and get the correct tire size.
