Default FINALLY! AFTER 3 MONTHS 15 DAYS! WHEELS!

Well finally after 3 months and 15 days I have all my wheels and tires on. It was a pain in the *** but I am very happy with them! I will never deal with CruizinConcepts again though. The only thing I don't care for now is that the car has too much wheel well in the rear with the new set up. The wheels are Axis GTR wheels 20x9.5 and 20X10.5 with Toyo Proxes T1r 255/35/20 on the front and 285/30/20 in the rear. I think dropping the car an inch in front and inch and a half in the rear will make it perfect. Next mod is the supercharger and the windows get tinted this tuesday. I know not everyone likes these wheels but I have been in love with them since I looked at the pictures of the 2004 GTR concept car. Here's a couple pics.

I really wish they made these in lightweight 18's, but they look great! The car definitely needs to be dropped, and it looks like you need some bigger rotors now too!

Sweet rims!

I faced the same issue.

To resolve it, I put Sportlines on the rears and the Pros on the front.

Want some springs?!

How's it ride with the 2 different spring sets? Might have to do that if they work well together. What springs ya got? LOL

Thanks for the comments too guys! Hopefully more mods will be coming soon. Pics of tint next week, then some type of supercharger or turbo in a few weeks. Also looking at getting stripes painted on some time and other stuff...the mod list never ends.

The ride? Well - if I still lived in CT - no way I'd put these on!

You want style? You compromise ride quality. But - body roll is much better.

I've got 2 front Sportlines and 2 rear Pros I can let go of.

How much drop would that provide with that combo? Not sure about mixing manufactures though. What was the reason for the two different manufactures?

Hey Kimmer...glad to see ya got it sorted out....that was a nightmare...almost as bad as that floor mat thing in the other thread....(although your situation was worse) but the floor mat thig is from the dealer...

Yeah, you need springs..... I heard CurzinConcepts is having a Spring Blow out Sale on Chinese made 'one off' Open Box Special Eibach spring kits....
