Got my wheels on finally

Been itching to get my mystery wheels on for a couple months now, stupid minnesota winters, but I finally got them on today and man do they look amazing.




I have the eibach pro kit ready to go in to give it the final stance, and thinking about throwing a little spacer in the rear.

Looks good. Might want to uncrumple the front plate.

Yeah that met a couple engine hoists over the last couple years. I'm due for new ones in a year, but I plan to fix that one too and remount it elsewhere, that stock bracket is shot

No Idea on the wheels. I've been trying to figure that out for a few months now. Bought them from a guy on craigslist, the were purple originally, I stripped them, painted and polished them over the winter while the car was in storage.

However I know they are 15x7, +13 offset, and the tires are Dunlop Dirreza Sport Z1 Star Specs in 195/50R15. They are amazing.

Great job!!!!

I would get that pin stripe removed and get a gold pin stripe to compliment the rims and blend them in with the car.

I've got red lug nuts to go with the stripe =P In a few weeks I'm planning on replacing a lot of things. Basically everything up front except the steering box. Bushings, brakes, etc. Plan on dropping it at that point as well as converting to studs to get the lug nuts on.

I know exactly how you feel. I ordered some wheels in November and only just got all four on today. Had the rears on but needed to wait for some turn-in spacers and wheel spacers to show up for the front. Can't wait to get it on the ground.

Your car looks great. The red lugs will be a nice subtle compliment to the pinstripe. Although you could go with some gold McGard spline drive lugs and switch the pinstripe to gold/ bronze and the whole thing would compliment itself really well. That's a lot more work then just putting the red lugs on though.
