New Wheels!


Breece

Recommended Posts

Like the wheels. Needs new center caps and while you're at it, drop it a few feet

 

Enjoy.

 

Yeah already been looking at dropping it. The wheel gap in the front is annoying :(

17x7.5 stayed with factory size, looks so small in photo's but in person looks nice..minus the front wheel gap! :(

 

I don't remember mine having that much gap...stock 17's on mine here:

Looks nice! I like the finish on the wheels!

 

Much better than plasti dipping your original rims like a hoodrich tool.

 

Lots of plastidip hate on here. Lol What is wrong with being able to give your car a new look, protect your wheels, and remove/change it whenever you want, all for under $50??? Most don't have/choose to spend the money on expensive new wheels every couple years.

Resident plastidip tool here, I enjoy working on the car, ( though my wheels are aftermarket) and it gives me something to do.

TSW's look good OP, now plastidip those center caps!! [emoji12]. Some mild lowering springs would definitely improve the look.

Wheel is too small; the fender gap and the dark color makes it even smaller. It needs to be wider too. Sorry, it's just a wrong combination. What were the OEM specs (diameter, width, offset) compared to the TSW? The wheels look kinda sunken too.

 

Only half an inch shorter? Was there a consideration for a performance aspect or do you actually like accumulating more miles in the odometer than actual and the "high water* looks?

 

It's a tall & elegant two-door car; find a wheel style to match its elegance and slab sides with a mild drop; get rid of those tires ASAP. Or, alternatively, drop it to the weeds, flare them with flush, million-mile deep dish, and mirror finish.

Stock wheels looked better. Tire profile on new wheels is too low...

 

...gap is larger than stock.

Joshua, you're on the road to making the car look much better than stock. Ignore Tom; he doesn't really know anything about cars.

 

 

Just to offer next steps (if it was my car)...great job on windows already tinted. If you're inclined, DO NOT swap out the head/taillight assemblies. Instead, look at getting Lamin-X. It'll mute the chrome in the headlights and tie the lenses in with your black trim, tinted windows. Plus, it'll save the lenses from becoming yellow from UV exposure, cracked from road debris. A great investment that improves styling IMO.
