New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - NOS2Go4Me - 07-18-2007

Got them on at 10PM, went for a cruise... what a treat!

A big thanks to Drivesthebeast for a great sale and some great stuff!

Don't mind the dirt and my early-morning metering blunder. Sooo tired. :blink:

Check my Facebook "Our Cars" album for pics I ripped from Drives' FS post. :D :ph34r:

I'll take a few pics tomorrow morning... side and rear 3/4 shots cause the front is a bug exhibit till I fix the stone chip in the windshield and wash the car :angry:

P.S. - you're impatient. :D And is FC.net slow or is just that time of night where they're doing all the backups?

I've found that FC.net has been slow all day. Guess it wasn't just me.

does 17's really affect the mileage that much...

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - NikiterZTS - 07-18-2007

it looks good for sure Adam....great rims

whats next? drop?

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - NOS2Go4Me - 07-19-2007

Either super snail time or maybe a bit less work... H+R coilovers perhaps. It's all up in the air for another couple of weeks.

I can't get over how LIGHT they are! They're like 2/3rds - 3/4s the weight of a single 16" stocker with 50-series on them.

I wouldnt go with a coilover for a dd setup.

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - NikiterZTS - 07-19-2007

Im honestly just buggin. What Adam got was an amazing deal IMO, I can;t beleive they sat for so long....that deal should have lasted a week. :blink:

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - Gravter - 07-19-2007

Noooo, don't tell me you got them for 500$
Dang, he was asking 800, then 750.
Oh well, congrats on the deal and this is a great look on your car :banger:
I was considering them, but thought they might clash with my CD Silver paint.
Oh, btw, I would remove that dealership sticker.

Congrats again on your upgrade.

Heh, but for the fact I would have had no takers for the rims I have on mine now I would have jumped at them sigh

Meh, drop, schmop, where he lives, the more ground clearance the better in the winter anyways :P :lol:

Nikiter got his for $500, not NOS.

I think they would look sweet on a silver car...I had similar wheels ;)

Hes thinking of a coilover setup, dont think he cares about the winter! :P

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - NOS2Go4Me - 07-19-2007

The coilover setup is contingent on two things:

1 - height adjustments spring and fall (highest in the fall, near lowest in the spring)

2 - constant cleaning of the coilovers to prevent rusting.

At this rate it's either yes to both or store it and get a beater for the winter.

Failing that, no coilovers. It's definitely a want that may never see the light of day. A guy can dream, no? :D

No, unless its heavyer then stock...

New Svt Eap Rims And Rubber Installed - naz - 07-19-2007

looking good! are you really going to corner weigh the car twice are year when you adjust the ride height? save the $ and just get lowering springs and matched dampers..

congrats on the wheels looking good..
