well after lots of deciding what wheels, colour, offset, finally got some new wheels!

 

had them brand new for 595! :)

 

 

went for 17x9 all round, ET25 all round.

 

fronts stick out perfect, no rubbing, arches are standard and its low. the backs i got with the intention of getting a 15mm spacer, but i need the camber sorted 1st (badly as you can see!)

thanks a lot guys :)

 

took me ages measuring how far out they could come, and the offsets etc.

 

was so aprehensive if theyd fit, but 9J ET25 on the front is absolutly spot on in level.

 

 

il be happy when the rear camber is sorted, then some hubcentric 10-15mm spacers on to make the back wheels further out as the front.

 

ever since i saw the amuse supra i just loved the look!

Very nice. Almost considered them before I went for my gtrs

 

i was calling to initially order the GTRs,

 

they only had 1 wheel or something in stock, they mentioned the Grids, but id set my price for 600ish,

 

knew the grids cost a bit more, but he said could do them same price so thaught go for it!

Great choice on the rims. :)

 

Your rear suspension look super low compared to the front !

 

you think?

 

profile wise, their 45 on front & 40 on rear.

 

when the fronts go tho im going for 40s also.

 

its lowered on Bilstein shocks, and springs thats all. no coilovers.

 

handling wise tho its gone a bit worse tbh, think coz its not a staggered fit.

 

but when i space them out 15mm think that should cure??

 

White on white looks really good, nice choice.

 

thanks mate, the car is super clean white & fresh, and like the pic above says

 

"simple and clean"

 

want the fresh look

Looks good.

 

If it was me I would of gone 18's and staggered width.

 

yea tbh mate i didnt really wana spend too much on the wheels,

 

would have had to buy 4 new tires, and the increased price of the 18s,

 

9.5 would have been nice on the back i guess, but had the deal on 9J so just went for that, the spacer will make the visual difference, hope it improves the handling aslo, along with the camber

 

Where did you get them from and I take it the tyres were budgets?

 

Looks spot on :)

 

i had them from a trader on ebay, Toxic rides,

 

price was 595 delivered, but thats without tires. i too was on stock UK wheels, so just swapped my tires over from them!

 

heres the before pic btw..

Nice one, if I'm ever down your way have to see 'em. Painted calipers would really set 'em off well too.

 

yea was thinking.

 

also thinking of blue wheel nuts also.

 

a light blue colour maybe for the calipers, or even a turquise. havent put a lot of thaught into those tho
