I love this..

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 08:41 AM

After seeing pictures of oplentus's car with the Evo's and finding a thread I started a long time ago regarding Plus Sizing rims/tires and a picture of a Malibu with the Evo 5 Mille Miglia wheels, I decided to photoshop it.

This would be like the absolute answer to my gap, as well as my insecurity in size........wheel size that is

I'm in love.

Black03SC/T · 01-03-2004, 08:55 AM

Mike that looks amazing, cant wait to see it for real.

iceman · 01-03-2004, 09:22 AM

That's what your car would look like w/ springs and those wheels.. not just the wheels. Not the answer to gap by any means, without springs it will emphasize it - I have a pic of my car w/ 18s and no springs if you want to see.

They'll look good tho.

DumpsterDamon · 01-03-2004, 09:34 AM

screw you mike, those were the rims i was looking at.

p.s. if you do decide to get those i know of a lovely home for your current wheels

papiogagt · 01-03-2004, 09:36 AM

yeah mike, remember what my car looked liek w/ rims and no springs..

AMRAAM4 · 01-03-2004, 10:45 AM

Mike...that looks HOTNESS.

You get the cajones to do that and your car would probably be the best looking GA I have EVER seen.....my whole life!!!

Here is what you need.

Evo 5 wheels in 19"
225 or 235 /35/19 tires
Intrax springs (same front as H&R for clearance issues, but drop a bit lower in rear)

2002GT · 01-03-2004, 11:31 AM

*agree*

cavingman · 01-03-2004, 11:32 AM

yea intrax on 19s = teh hawtnez

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 04:04 PM

i was thinking maybe if i got those rims that maybe i could have them stripped and painted with galaxy silver metallic paint to match? im not so sure about mis matching springs though. still debating on doing this or parting and getting a g35 coupe

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 04:07 PM

only reason i say that is cause Ive been considering another car for a while but those rims and springs would look hot. btw im posting on my phone so limits text

RedGT2004 · 01-03-2004, 04:11 PM

or

Decisions????

papiogagt · 01-03-2004, 05:34 PM

mike, you say that you have trouble making payments now, um.. how can you even think about a g35 coupe?? just a question.. if you finances are different then when making payments was a problem, i'm sorry..

do not ruin a perfectly good rim by doing that..

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 07:58 PM

Well atleast I got an opinion out of that! Reason I asked is because, upclose my Konig's are matched SO incredibly well. I mean looking at the wheel then looking at the paint on the fender, it looked damn near close.

Willie, i've got my reasons. My financial situation is none of anyones business.

papiogagt · 01-03-2004, 08:15 PM

sorry mike, i was just wondering how that is possilbe.. i don't blame you either for wanting a g35 coupe, i was just really curious..

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 08:17 PM

Its fine, i'm just saying thats all. Things can improve or change from time to time, and those improvements or changes can alter decisions too.

mjhurley1 · 01-03-2004, 08:45 PM

Mike, you need to drop it to loose the wheel gap. Period.
That chop looks good (like the wheels)
G35 looks good too.

You change your damn mind more than any women I know.

AMRAAM4 · 01-03-2004, 09:02 PM

Mike, as Seth said, don't ruin a brand new rim by farting aroun dwith matching silver. It will still look good and people are not going to take "points" away from it's hotness because the silvers don't match, that is understandable by any car person.

And I don't know your finances very well Mike, obviously, but take my advice when I say this......you are 19 going on 20, you have a beautiful GA right now, keep that car and be happy with it. Whatever your decisions are, I feel confident in saying you don't "need" a G35 at your age. I could afford a G35 now but I wouldn't want a lot of my fun cash to go to that....and I'll guess I make a good bit more than you (not that it is a contest, just using this to explain my reasoning, not a personal jab or anything at you or anyone else).

You have a lot of things coming to you in the next 5 years of your life that is going to alter your finances, don't be so eager to lock yourself into a car like the G35 right now.

mjhurley1 · 01-03-2004, 09:09 PM

Mike, I know how hard it is to want something (G35) but that ^^ is excellent advice.

SilverEcstasy · 01-03-2004, 09:10 PM

Thank you Bob, I appreciate your words of advice. I want to actually PM or IM ya one time and talk to ya further bout that.

Geezus Mike, you PM me and say "Get the G/Z" then post and say "Good advice, stick with the GA!"
