New 99 Spec Rims Mounted!
 

Finally got around to mounting my new (bought from Rhode_Dog's uncle ;)) 99 J-Spec rims and thought I'd show you some pics. It wasn't a perfect day for pics (overcast) here in Oregon but at least it wasn't raining :D!

I cleaned and prepped the rims and had them powder coated a slightly darker shade of silver than stock. I'm really pleased with the way they turned out. I went with the stock size tires, 235/45WR-17 for the front and 255/40WR-17 for the rear (all Yokohama AVS ES100's).

looks subtle...

how much did you pay for them?

nice clean car!

Looks good, I guess I am not the only one in Oregon with those rims now ;)

I tried to wait as long as I could... but damn, I really wanted them! :bigthumb:

I PM'd you the total cost.

Thanks.

Tasteful..... I loved the Yoko ES100s I had on my car but they get a bit "greasy" on the track....

It's oh so purdy

Very nice. Looks great on the silver car.

I also am curious about price. Price new too.

Thanks.

Total cost was just under $1,500.00. That included shipping and having them professionally powder coated. I know that Corksports sells them and last time I looked, it $1,750.00 plus S&H and oh by the way a 3 to 4 month wait!

I feel that I got a great deal and am very pleased with how they turned out!

Thanks again for your comments.

Very clean car.. nice pics.. Ride height looks perfect

LOVE it. Too bad it is raining, I would like to see it in person!

I still want a set of those for my car! Nice!

Thanks guys for the kind comments!

What are your offsets for front and rear?

Going from memory (I'm at work right now), I believe they're +50 (same as the standard 93-95 rim).

Wow, those turned out really nice! I will be sure to show the new pictures to Bill. :)

how big can you go on these rims?? I have the spirit-r bbs which I believe are the same size (17x8.5 F and 17x9.5 R ??? if I remember correctly) and need to buy tires and wanted to know how wide can I go.

Your car looks great!!!! :bigthumb:

The rim sizes for the 99 J-Spec rims are 17"x8"JJ for the front and 17"x8 1/2"JJ for the rear. The tire sizes I used are the OEM recommended sizes for these rims. If you are correct in your rim sizes (??) it sounds like you can do at least 245/40 in the front and 275/30 in rear (or wider??). Again this all depends on your suspension setup (stock verses lowered). I hope that helps you out.
