[MommysLittleMonster]

New wheels look clutch. Awesome work.

[TruTaing]

Looks awesome. Ive never been a fan of those lorinsers, but you've definitely made them look proper.

[SD202]

some instagram teasers that im sure most of you have already seen .

New wheels are on.

[Thaifighter]

I remember now ! LOL dude If you have style 5s get them refinished already ! they're gonna look great on the sonic

lol I would hope so.

Photochops I made on my friend's car:



My gripes with running these wheels though are finding a place close by that would do an actual fill and redrill, and the fact that they're only 8" wide. +20 is fairly aggressive for my car, and since it's only 8" wide, I can't get much of a stretch unless I go 205/40, which I'm afraid might be too small for the Sonic. (tires in pic are 205/45)

We shall see...

Posted this in Dom's thread. lol



And my bolt pattern is 5x105. 0_o :'(
Still debating between redrilling and refinishing my Style 5's or finding something else. (Originally got them for my Celica. haha)

Yes. Indeed ! I believe he is trying to sell them. So hit up the OP if you're interested. The style 5s are in great condition ive seen them in person, tons of times. Im pretty sure he had the lips high polished as well as straightened and trued by a wheel shop here in SD.

I'd totally be down... if I didn't already have a set I'm thinking about getting rid of. >_< lol

I've seen this car in person before as well. You always seem to park next to him and Charles at events and photoshoots. :P

btw, you probably don't remember me, but I'll leave this here. hehe

If you bag this car, Mr. Hatmaker, I will lose all faith in humanity.

Aside from that, you know I fucking love this thing, that rear tuck STATIC is unbelievable.

Dont worry No bags are in the future for her. My honest plans are to find a nice seat. Get an auto power roll bar made for it since they are local to SD so i can actually run my harness. I eventually want to boost the M104. ( as I bare down on 200k miles)
She will stay static forever. Shes a never ending project. With that said. I have tons of "spring cleaning" to do Now that my winter wheel project is over. I just did front upper control arm and ball joints need to tackle the LCA bushings. Front hub & bearing assemblies need replaced. I have to pull my driver side rear hub Bcus a stud snapped off inside of it. which on this chassis is a real PITA if you dont have benz specific Klann brand tools. I have to do both inner CV's at the diff as well as all my shift linkage bushings. And a rear flex disc. then back to modding.

lookin good dude

Thanks dude! Anything new with your ride ?

Why not just have David take them? haha :P
As for putting your wheels on the Sonic, I have to figure out how the heck I would do it. XD

Offset is already really aggressive without adapters for a FWD car like mine... :P

If I do figure out how I would do it without destroying my fenders, I'll hit you up for sure. haha
In the market for some affordable 18's.

In the meantime, I wonder if I can redrill them... haha

I will most likely have David take them for me. Hes just a real busy man and arranging a get together with him is always hit or miss nothing ever gets set in stone. Which is fine by me He has a day job photography doesnt pay his bills. But I know for sure he does want to shoot the car on the new wheel setup. And I want to get rolling shots along side doms wagon now that hes on 19s also. And yeah man You can totally have em re drilled to 5x120. Or ... If you want I can talk to dom and see about getting him to sell you the style 5's as they should bolt straight to your ride. What is the stock offset on a sonic anyway ? Like +45 or real high like that ? My fronts are +28 thinnest adapter is 15 mm So that leaves you at +13et up front on 18x8.5 On a FWD car !!

[Thaifighter]

LOL, Thanks man and yup, Cant wait to get some real legit shots of the new wheels! hopefully I can find someone to do some rolling shots for me, Never had any real rolling shots of the car slammed out at its current height. And if you're seriously considering it. I will cut anyone who does not have 5x112 bolt pattern a deal since they will have to buy adapters.

My sunroof door is falling and that needs to be redone. I have redone all the pillars in suede as well. So the only part of the interior left to do really is the headliner. which has not fallen. LOL That control panel under the radio is for the in car phone. Its about the size of a home phone and you could have service activated thru Motorola back in 1996. This was before cell phones were widely used and mostly pagers were the thing. The phone attaches to a regular phone jack that is in the center console. I of course have removed the phone because it took up the entire top tray. LOL. I always thought it would make a cool digital switch for airride


Thanks man. I cant wait to get some legit shots. of the new setup Have a few other things planned for 2013 for her.

I noticed that your car has some kind of control panel under the radio. Mine has a small cubby hole. What is that?

Also, my POS interior is falling apart. Did you have to reglue any headlining?

Slick build overall!

the royal grain is the only grip royal that i like, and i think it flows nicely with the car, they are so hard to get though, they are always out online and at shows

Thanks. yeah I wasnt really feeling any the other ones with the rainbow flake and stuff. The retro one was to bland and the wood wasnt dark enough for my taste. I Didnt want a crazy color wheel because i do not own a car that i felt any of them would suit. But tell me about it ! I only waited like 4 months. I ordered in like Nov 2012 it didnt get here till this month( feb 2013. )
