New Wheels

[DatMan]

I just got these put on tonight. My coilovers are coming in on Monday and it will be properly lowered.

Wheels are 18x7.5 Hd Clutch Wheels with a +42mm offset. I am happy with them and they are super light for an 18" wheel.

I will post more/better pictures after I get the Coilovers put on Monday/Tuesday.

Bronze on black is the sex....

What size tire are you using with those? Im going to look at a set of wheels tomorrow that are the exact specs as yours, but they have a 235/40/18 and if concerned that there may be a clearence issue with the spindle.

225/40 Nitto Neo Gens and they fit perfectly. 235s will be too wide I think they will stick out over the side of the wheel. I don't think there is a better fit than a 225 on this wheel.

It looks nice man it will look better with the coilovers, how is that boost gauge working? pegging it already jk.

It's working great. It's just set to 15psi. It works great thanks again for the great deal on it.

No problem, i saw you are gonna invest a big amount of money in your car. I cant wait for the final result.

That's the plan. I hope to have about 500+ whp this time next year and it be really nice looking at the same time. Getting the fmic anodized black to keep it more of a sleeper.

I'm excited to finally get this thing going.

Wheels look great. Also I have the neo gens on my car in the same size and love them.

Thanks guys. I'll post more pictures after the coilovers are installed first part of next week.

Definately a nice choice...i agree the black and bronze is hot. and it seems the 225/40/18 is the perfect fit for a 2g...have nitto nt555's on 18" TRS rims, not sure of the offset but they tuck perfect with no rubbing.

How much is your car lowered?

How much is your car lowered?

I bought it with the suspension it currently has. KYB GR-2 struts and eibach springs. Not sure of exactly how low that put it but my front end is deffinately lower than any ride I've ever had. Including my last SRT that was slammed on fully adjustable meagen's run all the way down.

Great looking wheels. That color always looks great with black.

I was wondering the same thing....

I am thinking of getting 18's for my 2G Talon and was wondering if you rubbed at all? I am planning on getting some form of 18's probably 225-40-18. I dont want my wheel sticking out to where I have to roll my fender and am looking to lower my mildly a bit for street use. Any suggestions on any other tire size for 18 in or is 225-40-18 the way to go?

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Looks pretty good.

 

[KyDSM]

The stock 2g 5 spoke ones powder coated bronze would look 100x's better IMO.

 

[907gs-t]

Very Nice Look Indeed.

 

[Satabird88]

Very Sweet! I wish I had $$ for some new wheels, other stuff has to be fixed before that though.

 

[nahums]
