Veloster Build

[rice4life]

From legit wheels to reps, what happened to the works?

I can't believe I missed this build thread, I love sprint grey velosters! I know that feel man about the dent, you can get that removed on the cheap, or take the fender off and knock the metal back into shape yourself. Just be glad it wasn't on a rear quarter.

Finally, nearly a year later...updates. New wheels. Have had coils on for awhile but never took pics....new pics soon with wheels on. Matte black klutches with lips that have been painted gloss black .

Trying to install this weekend. Have to order camber bolts for the front...and will try to stack some camber shims in the rear...wish I knew somebody that has done that before to look over my shoulder...

Concav will look great imo.

Thanks.

I am back on the stock wheels for now.





The AMEs taught me two things:
1) I cant stand wild colors (I felt awkward driving with them haha)
2) I cant stand wheels with a lip on this car, they just look too small on the veloster.

So I was thinking about what to do and then I stumbled across this inspiring pic here on stanceworks and fell in love with the look of these wheels.



SO I started hunting for something similar that would fit me car. After a little searching I came across these on YAJ. They are WORK Sporbos (I guess a discontinued one piece line from WORK years ago). But, the look is similar, the specs are good, and I scored them for cheap!



I will be powdercoating them either gunmetal (like my stocks) or black. I haven't decided yet.

The specs will be aggressive for the veloster with 18x9.5+38 in the rear. But I think I can manage with -4 camber or so. I wanted these rear specs because, according to the WORK spec sheet, this is the first spec where the wheel switches from concave to super concave


I also got bored and debaged the "veloster" and took this artsy rain pic






Now to wait like four months for the snow to stop so I can put the coilovers on.

Such a funky little car, I wish they were AWD.

Looks good though, nice work on the wheels.

Love the wheels I am biased though colors look awesome too! I love the ral colors!

The days of leaving a note after for bash the crap out of someones fender with your car door are long gone I guess. I don't even know how this happens. I park soooo far back and how jacked up most the guy next to me have been parked for a door to hit my front fender close to the front of my car?

bruh, that powder coat failure had me heated! How can you say the wheel is at fault... your paint/powder is only as good as your prep! lol

but anyways. stoked to see further progress

I think they look good.

I don't know what it is about these Velosters, is it the clever and rebellious design or do they just look good I dont know.

But I like them lots

With me its the clever and rebellious design for sure!

YES!!! Come to the dark side!

I have already taken measurements on the front coilovers and know that thread on UAS brackets for megan coilovers will fit! Just trying to figure out the rear
