dead on. that looks really good

[hi its me alec]

Perfect. redrilled style 5?

[Cronus]

Oh man that is just right. I love it!

Thanks guys I'm very happy with the fitment so far! Now I just need tire size recommendations. I'm thinking either 215 40 or 205 40.

They are style 5's but not redrilled. I've got some 5x112 to 5x120 adapters for them (thats why I did the test fit. I like that they aren't redrilled because I'll be able to let me dad borrow them for his alpine E36

They are 20mm adapters which brings the final et to 0. I'm super surprised how well it works in the back. Up next is the front fitment test with adapters. I have a feeling they are going to poke too much, but we will see. I'll post pics as soon as I test them.

I have heard that you can mount the faces on the outside (lip) part of the barrel? Thoughts? Might not even have to do it, but I'm just curious.

i like those wheels

Rear is on point. Heres some pics of 215/40 and 205/40

205/40 (falken 512)


215/40 (unsure on brand)


As for mounting the center on the outside of the lip, Im guessing you could do that, but it wouldn't look good IMO.

Thanks wheelfetish...I think 205 40's will be my tire of choice. If I get rubbing I'll just use camber to help out.

The good news is I definitely wont have to mount the faces on the outside. Here you go:

pokes a little too much here, but when I am able to get the front lower, it should suck in more. Just have to make a damn strut tower spacer thing. Probably wont be till this summer, but the wheels wont be finished till may anyways.



looks much better here







oh and the adapter and bolts do not like eachother. I'm going to have to pocket the back of these wheels a little I think unless anyone has other suggestions. They are already ground down a lot (too much).

I've attempted my polishing for the day...it came out alright, but its going to require me to go back and sand certain steps again I tried to do it very thoroughly, but somewhere something got messed up. Its not a mirror finish yet. Too many little scratches still left way back in the 600 or 400 or so phase.

This is all I've got in me...until tomorrow


or later tonight

I'm so up in the air about color...my first thought is gold, then sometimes looking at the car I just want to leave them silver but thats just boring in my opinion. I'd do something like lime green, but I want to keep it classy. I think I need to do some serious photoshopping.

That looks great!

205/40 Fuzion ZRi or the 512 posted above is your best bet i think.
