Behold My Wheels!

[BlackPearl]

Hey gang,

Here's a few pics of the MOST AWESOME Christmas present from my wife.

Wheels: 19 X 8.5 (front) 19 X 9.5 (rear) AZA Z-15 Hyper Dark
Company: Wheelmax (no problems)
Price: $1200 shipped, mounted, balanced, and with all the supplies needed
Offsets: 40mm front, 45mm rear
Tires: Nankang NSII 235's up front/265's in the rear
Suspension: Stock (sagging rear springs FTL)
Fender status: rear fenders have not been cut or modified in any way
Rubbing issues: With only me in the car there is no rubbing under very normal driving. If you romp on the gas it rubs, if you have a passenger it rubs, if you go over big bumps it rubs. I will be grinding the rear fenders as soon as I return home from my trip.

And the pics as promised:

Looks like M3 CSL wheels. Looks good on your car man.

[J8127]

Thats the best looking wheel on a gto I have seen. Granted I havent seen many, but goddamn

[sstony]

man that looks really good. now get some of those front fender side vents.




i mean :rice:

[BlackPearl]

Thanks guys. Yea they are very similar to the M3 replicas almost identical really only they cost much cheaper. Now I just need to get new springs and grind to help with the rub a dub.

[slmdLS1]

[LD50]

looks good.. how did you do your side markers?

niteshades. I still have plenty left if you want to use it. Just buy an abrasive scotch pad, clean it good with some simple green or degreaser, spray on a light coat of adhesion promoter, and then 2 coats of niteshades. YOu can clear it but I pefer the "flat"look myself.

Nice! Let meet up at Zaxbys for lunch sometime so I can check em out. lol!

Hehe...you know as soon as you pulled up with your bike I was wondering if that was you. Not too many people with triumph's...

[SloNLo_350]

I wanted some of those for the longest time!! In fact I still do. Looks awesome!! Especially on CGM.

[DustnF]

Very nice. AZA makes a solid wheel for the money.

[Dredz172]

probably the worst way to spend $1600

Hehe...you know as soon as you pulled up with your bike I was wondering if that was you. Not too many people with triumph's...haha! I was thinking the same thing about ur GTO. I thought it looked familiar thats why I asked if that was ur GTO and if u was on TMCA. lol!

I'll have to check yours out sometime... I've been thinking of getting some black 'Klearz (http://www.klearz.com/lens/gto-color.jpg)' but I'm not sure I could bring myself to buy a product spelled that way. It seems like the niteshades looks as good for a whole lot less.

The klearz are cool but it only cost me 9 bucks to coat em with niteshades. 20 minutes and put them on...it was very easy.

[pat94cobra]

very nice man.

sweet

I'm really surprised 265s rub on your car. Was the car not designed to have a staggered setup? I had 275s on my 545i and still had plenty of room. Some peeps put on 285s w/o any rubbing.

Look at your fenders...they are flared. Besides, they can fit up to 275s but only wih the right offset. Since not many wheels come with the right offset we need (unless you go custom like Chase did) you have to modify just a little.

[SteedaRR]

they look very good. congrats...

[GoatFiddyone]

Those look nasty with CGM!! I wish somebody had a set of wheels that looked halfway decent for red. Still searching for that perfect combo.

I niteshaded my reflectors too... cleaned them with soap and water, used some 1500 grit sand paper, went over it with a tack cloth, did 2 light coats of night shades, and a coat of clear... I bought two cans of that stuff, because for some reason I thought it would use a lot, but I used hardly any.... I've been thinking about tinting the tail lights to use up the remaining 1 7/8's can

nice, now bring it over to me so I can shine it up!

Get it right...they were 245s. I had 17's FTL :(

[SloNLo_350]

Those 235's were the shit!! hahaha

My best 60' ever was on those old 235/40 Potenzas. I can't do shit on these 275's. I need DR's. Is CCW making Classics for GTOs yet? :mrgreen:

I want em for some track tires... just so I can be super baller.

[J8127]

He has 505A's, the most ballinest shit ever, classics are like these dull black zillion spokes.

EDIT- they come in polished too which is a little better
